I think they are illegal but they might stool be legal in Jersey. We used to sell them when I worked at Fish town USA in Ramsey.

So???They are illegal to possess in New York.
To lazy to google the story but how did they know that someone had let a piranha go? By this I mean did someone just happen to spot a piranha while taking a dip lol?Piranha won't necessarily just attack a human. Even a child. There is just too much food in lakes that are more their size to go after.
I've got an old TFH where Axlerod and others were in the Amazon swimming with them.
And yes, our legislators are pretty ignorant. At one point they were looking to ban the sale and possession of the entire family. Imagine that. Banning the neon tetra. By the same token they were looking at one point to require a license for every pet including each aquatic animal. Think how expensive it would be to get licenses for all your sea monkeys.
I am not sure but I think it was in Lake Michigan someone let a piranha go. OK so that was a dumb move. They wanted to try to drain the lake to get rid of it. Go figure.
