CROSSED A LINE

lExperts spank Weiner over tweet with son, ACS could investigat­e lStasi: About time Huma kicks loser to the curb

- LINDA STASI BY BARBARA ROSS, ADAM EDELMAN and STEPHEN REX BROWN With Dale W. Eisinger

After years of degradatio­n, Huma-liation Twitter.Abedin finally kicked her disgusting serial sexter/penis exposer of a husband — the aptly named Anthony Weiner — to the curb with the garbage where he belongs. This slob has more underwear pictures out there than all of Victoria’s Secret put together.

The real question is why Huma, Hillary Clinton’s top aide, did not throw the bum out years ago after the first time he displayed the junk in his trunks on

Why did this doormat of a wife wait until photos surfaced of him doing something so unspeakabl­y perverse and harmful to their child — sexting photos of his erect penis in his shorts with their young son next to him — to separate from him?

Why? Because Huma learned how to be stomped on by a man from the best — the first female presidenti­al candidate, Hillary Clinton.

Let’s not forget that Huma’s boss’ husband, Bill Clinton, has more than 20 sexual misconduct allegation­s against him, including his own Weiner-wagger scandal. He allegedly exposed himself to Paula Jones, demanded she give him oral sex, then settled her lawsuit for $850,000. Innocent men do not settle false lawsuits any more than strong women stay married to perverts.

Hillary should have thrown her bum out of the house then, although it took an act of Congress to almost do it for her. Instead — and incredibly — she stayed and together, with Huma, they have convinced people that they are the You-Go-Girl team.

Now Huma has the nerve to ask for privacy? Maybe she should have asked that of her disgusting husband the first time he was caught displaying his privates in public. Well, even doormats have limits. The only difference between this despicable, humiliatin­g incident and the many others that came before? This sext included a child. Bad husband is one thing. Bad parent is another entirely.

I never wrote about a terrible incident my own family experience­d with this horrible man because it concerned the couple’s little son and that is supposed to be off-limits. But now that he’s opened the floodgates, I need to expose this slob like he’s exposed himself. My family owns a home in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Hillary and Bill stayed at the Oscar de la Renta estate in Punta Cana last Christmas week; Anthony and Huma stayed at the nearby Westin resort. One of my relatives took the little kids in our family to the Westin for lunch, and Anthony was there with his son, then 3.

My family came home shaken and told me that as they were standing by the resort’s giant hot tub when Weiner came by with his son and approached a 5-year-old girl and, insanely, asked her to watch his son, who was in the hot tub, while he went to get him some toys! They saw him leave his 3-year-old in a hot tub seemingly under the care of a bewildered 5-year-old he seemed not to know. One of my male relatives watched Weiner’s son instead, and stayed until he returned “a few minutes later,” he said.

Could this have been the first time Weiner was careless with his son, for whom he is presumably the primary caregiver with Huma on the road so much?

Now he’s even sexted with the boy practicall­y on his lap. It’s doormat-dumb to stay with a pervert, but it’s downright delusional to leave your child with one. Now, I’ll even say it: You go girl! As in, get the hell out! ANTHONY WEINER’S latest cybersexca­pades, featuring a photo of his sleeping son beside the pervy ex-pol’s bulging crotch, ended his marriage Monday — and could now lead to an investigat­ion for child neglect, experts say.

“Anytime adults draw children into their own sexual activity they have crossed the line. It is always inappropri­ate for an adult to connect any child to their sexual activities, however peripheral,” said Tim Hathaway, executive director at Prevent Child Abuse New York.

Hours after the sexts were made public, Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, a top adviser to Hillary Clinton, announced she was separating from her horndog hubby.

This time, the messages Weiner sent from his Twitter account — which was taken down Monday morning — reportedly included him cracking a joke and snapping a photo of his 5-year-old son, Jordan, jumping into bed beside him as his dad sexted with a woman.

Law enforcemen­t sources said Weiner, 51, was not currently under criminal investigat­ion because the vile pic didn’t rise to the level of endangerin­g the welfare of a child.

But experts in matrimonia­l law and child custody cases said Weiner’s woes were far from over.

The photo, the experts said, likely meets the low legal standard for the city Administra­tion for Children’s Services to open an inquiry into a possible case of child neglect.

“Questions could be raised ultimately about his judgment as a caretaker,” said Dr. N.G. Berrill, a forensic psychologi­st.

“The fact he was so compulsive he felt this need to behave in this manner with the child present leads to questions about whether he can control himself.”

An ACS spokeswoma­n declined to comment.

Often a simple phone call from a neighbor can prompt the agency to investigat­e alleged cases of child abuse.

“ACS has gotten involved with a lot lesser allegation­s,” said Joseph De Simone, a divorce lawyer with the firm Cohen Clair Lans Greifer Thorpe & Rottenstre­ich.

State Sen. Ruben Diaz Sr., a socially conservati­ve Bronx Democrat, said

Oh, Huma, glad you FINALLY wised up

Monday that ACS should “at the very least investigat­e” the couple.

He also suggested it would have happened already to a minority family in a similar situation.

“I’m pretty sure . . . if the adult in the photo with a toddler was black or Hispanic . . . (ACS) would have been knocking on the door to investigat­e,” he said. The latest scandal, which ensnared their son, seemed to be the last straw for Abedin.

“It’s terrible judgment. It speaks to the fact he’s certainly more focused on his sexual activity than understand­ing or addressing the ramificati­ons of having a child present,” Berrill said.

“He’s treating it lightly. Almost like a joke. I don’t think ACS will see it that way. And there’s a good chance a court won’t see it that way.”

Weiner’s sexting could also come up in court should custody of the child become an issue.

Abedin, 40, learned Sunday night of Weiner’s newest sexts while they were both in the Hamptons with their son, The New York Times reported.

Weiner returned to their Union Square apartment Monday morning aware the announceme­nt of their separation was imminent, the paper reported.

“After long and painful considerat­ion and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband,” Abedin said in a statement released through the Clinton campaign.

“Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy.”

It has been previously reported that Clinton’s people have wanted Abedin to leave Weiner because he could be a liability to her presidenti­al campaign.

Sources said Weiner and Abedin had been estranged for some time and that her decision to separate was not due solely to his latest sexts. Their son was a major reason why they stuck together for so long, sources said.

Weiner’s inability to control himself prompted Clinton’s Republican rival, Donald Trump, to turn the embarrassm­ent into a national security issue.

“Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him,” Trump said in a statement.

“I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified informatio­n. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It’s just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromise­d by this.”

NY1, where Weiner was a frequent guest, put him on indefinite leave Monday.

The Daily News also said it would no longer publish his opinion columns.

Weiner and Abedin married in a 2010 wedding officiated by Bill Clinton. Weiner was considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, while she was practicall­y a member of the Clinton family.

But Weiner’s online indiscreti­ons derailed his once-promising political career in 2011 when he resigned from Congress and again in 2013 while embarking on a campaign for mayor. Abedin stood by Weiner on both those occasions.
