ACS Commissioner Gladys Carrion could use a civics lesson.
Under fire over the death of 6-year-old Zymere Perkins, Carrion snapped at a Daily News photographer Tuesday — for taking a picture of her on a public sidewalk.
“How many more photos are you gonna take?” Carrion said as she left her Bronx home and stepped into a black Toyota SUV. “This is invasion of privacy, if you ask me.”
The embattled Administration for Children’s Services chief has taken heat for refusing to address the tragic case of Zymere, a Harlem boy who police say died Sept. 26 after being brutalized by his troubled mother’s hulking beau.
ACS commissioner to address Zymere Perkins case Wednesday
City officials say Carrion will finally discuss Zymere’s death — and the problems it exposed within ACS — at a Wednesday press conference.
It’s likely to be a challenging experience for Carrion who needed a City Hall escort to shield her from a reporter and photographer on Monday.
Mayor de Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips rushed to Carrion’s home to run interference as she left for work.
“We heard you guys were here, so they sent me,” Phillips told a reporter.
