DEMARIO QUINN: NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES(BRO) GOES AFTER THE NEXT OF KIN
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN, BUT I"LL START BY SAYING, "WHAT HAPPENED TO ME SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO ANYONE"
..AFTER GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL IN 2003, I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO WORK FOR DELPHI CORPORATION IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. I WAS ACCEPTED AT ITT TECHNICAL SCHOOL, WITH A MAJOR IN CAD(WEB DESIGN). MY LIFE SEEMED TO BE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. CONCENTRATING ON MY LONG-TERM GOALS, I BEGAN PREPARING TO OPERATE MY OWN BUSINESS. THIS IS WHEN MY LIFE STARTED TO TAKE AN UNUSUAL TURN FOR THE WORST.
THE YEAR 2008, THE ECONOMY CAME CRASHING DOWN HARD ON AMERICA EVERYWHERE. DELPHI INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD BE RECEIVING MY PINK SLIP. DELPHI CORPORATION OFFERED ME TO TAKE A BUYOUT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. I FIGURED ACCEPTING THE BUYOUT WOULDN'T BE SUCH A BAD IDEA. SO, I SET FORTH TO FURTHER MY EDUCATION AND PURSUE MY GOALS OF OWNING MY OWN DAYCARE BUSINESS.
JANUARY 2008, MY FAMILY'S DAY CARE BUSINESS WAS FORCIBLY SHUT DOWN BY THE NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES(BUFFALO REGIONAL OFFICE). * ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER, DIRECTOR: ELLA QUINN.
MY NAME IS DEMARIO QUINN, I DECIDED TO ESTABLISH A SMALL BUSINESS IN MY MOM'S HOME WHERE WE BOTH RESIDE. MY DAY CARE WAS LOCATED IN THE SUBURBS OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK. "DEE'S DELIGHTS" DAY CARE, IS WHAT I CALLED MY DAY CARE PROGRAM. I BELIEVED THAT I COULD RESCUE MY FAMILY'S BUSINESS AND WEATHER THE STORM THROUGH THE RECESSION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE SAME MISCONDUCT THAT RESULTED IN MY FAMILY'S LOSS OF BUSINESS, WAS GOING TO EFFECT MY FUTURE.
FEBRUARY 2008, I WAS LICESENCED BY THE NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES. IT TOOK THE NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES TWO YEARS JUST TO PROCESS MY APPLICATION. YOU SEE, I COMPLETED AN APPLICATION IN OCTOBER OF 2006, WHEN I WAS INFORMED OF MY LAY-OFF FROM DELPHI CORPORATION. THE REASON FOR THE DELAYED PROCESSING OF MY APPLICATION, WAS THAT I WAS KIN TO MY MOTHER'S MOTHER. YES...MY GRANDMOTHER WAS OWNER AND DIRECTOR OF THE FORMER ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER. (PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED).
MY PROBLEMS BEGAN WHEN I RECEIVED AND EXCEPTED MY CHILDCARE LICENSE FROM THE NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES. I HAD NO CHILDREN FOR THE FIRST MONTH, THEN IN MARCH OF 2008, MY VERY FIRST CHILDREN ENROLLED IN THE DAY CARE PROGRAM. THESE CHILDREN WERE FROM MY GRANDMOTHER'S PROGRAM. UNAWARE AT THE TIME, I WAS THE SUBJECT OF AN UNWARRANTED INVESTIGATION BY THE ERIE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES. THE NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES CONTACTED THE ECDSS REQUESTING THEM TO INVESTIGATE ME FOR ALLEGED FRAUD. EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALWAYS MAINTAINED AN IN-COMPLIANCE STATUS WITH THE NYSOCFS.
MY INITIAL NYSOCFS LICENSOR, FRANCIS OLIVERO WAS VERY EFFECTIVE WITH GIVING ME TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, BUT SHE WAS SOON REPLACED BY NYSOCFS LICENSOR, JANICE QUIETT WHO CONSPIRED WITH HER NYSOCFS SUPERVISOR, PATRICIA HARPER AND REGIONAL MANAGER, BOB STOCZYNSKI TO WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES. NYSOCFS JANICE QUIETT, MADE EVERY EFFORT POSSIBLE TO KEEP ME OUT OF COMPLIANCE. BUT, MY PROGRAM REMAINED PROFESSIONALLY OPERATED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE I RECEIVED FROM MY FAMILY'S BUSINESS EXPERIENCE. PARENTS WERE OVERWHELMINGLY HAPPY AND SATISFIED WITH MY PROGRAM.
THE NYSOCFS GOAL WAS TO BULLY ME OUT OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF IT MEANT CREATING FALSE COMPLAINTS AGAINST ME. YOU SEE, ALL THE NYSOCFS HAD TO WAS INITIATE A FABRICATED COMPLAINT TO THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES, THEN SIT BACK AND RELAX. THE ECDSS WOULD FINSH WHAT THE NYSOCFS STARTED. THIS MEANT RUNNING ME OUT OF BUSINESS.
MY LAST NAME AND BEING KIN TO MY GRANDMOTHER IS WHAT CAUSED THIS MISCONDUCT AND ABUSE OF POWER WITH THE NYSOCFS AND ECDSS.
AUGUST 2008, THE ECDSS ABRUPTLY CEASED ALL PAYMENTS TO MY PROGRAM. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WAS BEING INVESTIGATED, A POLITICAL MOVE THAT EVENTUALLY SUCCEEDED IN THE STATES FAVOR. NOTE: ABOUT 17 CHILDREN ENROLLED IN MY PROGRAM. I THOUGHT, IF I AM BEING INVESTIGATED, WHY ISN'T ANYONE CLOSING ME DOWN? WHY DON'T THE NYSOCFS PULL MY LICENSE. THEY HAD THAT AUTHORITY. I CONTINUED TO OPERATED MY DAYCARE BUSINESS FOR 2YEARS WITHOUT BEING COMPENSATED FOR SERVICES RENDERED.
AFTER BEING INFORMED ABOUT THIS BOGUS INVESTIGATION IN SEPTEMBER 2008, I FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ECDSS FOR NON-PAYMENT OF SERVICES RENDERED. THE ECDSS IN TURN FILED CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST ME IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009.
I HAVE CONTACTED EVERYONE FROM THE ERIE COUNTY EXECUTIVE'S OFFICE AND COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE TO MY LOCAL AND STATE POLITICIANS. I EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO CONTACT THE FBI. I FELT THAT THERE NEEDED TO BE A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION REGARDING THE NYSOCFS & THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES ABUSE OF POWER AND MISCONDUCT.
BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 2009 TO JUNE 2010, I HAVE BEEN FALSELY CHARGED, INDICTED, AND CONVICTED.
THIS IS MY STORY OF THE INJUSTICE I SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE NYSOCFS AND THE ECDSS. BIG GOVERNMENT SEEMS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND BULLY THE SMALL AND WEAK. BUT, MY FIGHT WILL CONTINUE.
I AM CURRENTLY PUTTING MY LIFE BACK TOGETHER. I AM UNEMPLOYED, HAVE NO BUSINESS, AND HAVE A CRIMINAL RECORD. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ANY TROUBLE WITH THE LAW AND I NEVER AS MUCH AS HAD A TRAFFIC INFRACTION.
I ASK AMERICA, " IS THIS JUSTICE"? BECAUSE, I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR JUSTICE.

OLGA CASIANO: GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES (BUFFALO REGIONAL OFFICE)
FOR NEARLY SIX MONTHS, I ONLY CARED FOR 2 CHILDREN IN MY PROGRAM. UNTIL I RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER WAS CLOSING, DUE TO THE HARASSMENT THEY SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES. I CONTACTED ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER FOR HER DISPLACED CHILDREN AFTER HER CLOSING.
BETWEEN JANUARY 2008 TO APRIL 2008, I RECEIVED THE CHILDREN FROM ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER.
*FEBRUARY 2008, MY HARASSMENT AND PROBLEMS BEGAN SOON AFTER I RECEIVED THE CHILDREN FROM ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER.
*FEBRUARY 21, 2008, SANDRA COSTELLO NEW LICENSOR/MONITOR FROM THE NYSOCFS, INFORMED ME DURING HER INSPECTION THAT AN ALLEGED COMPLAINT WAS RECEIVED ABOUT MY DAY CARE. (NOTE: NYSOCFS LICENSOR, EMILIO FUENTEZ WAS REPLACED WITHOUT NOTICE & NYSOCFS SANDRA COSTELLO INTRODUCED HERSELF TO ME AS AN INVESTIGATOR).
*VIOLATIONS WERE PLACED AGAINST ME BY THE NYSOCFS, EVEN AFTER I COMPLIED WITH SATISFYING AND CORRECTING THE VIOLATIONS.
*NYSOCFS PURPOSELY REFUSED TO PROCESS MY PROVIDER ASSISTANT INFORMATION, KEEPING MY DAY CARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE.
*NYS SENATOR ANTOINE THOMPSON AND NYS COMMISSIONER GLADYS CARRION WERE CONTACTED ON BEHALF OF THE BEHAVIOR OF THE NYSOCFS REFUSAL TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PROCESS SUBMITTED ASSISTANT/STAFF APPLICATIONS.
*SHORTLY THEREAFTER, NYSOCFS SANDRA COSTELLO'S VISIT TO MY FACILITY, SHE NOTIFIED THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES FRAUD UNIT ALLEGING A COMPLAINT FROM A PARENT. (NOTE: UNFOUNDED)
*JULY 2008, AFTER INITIATING A FALSE COMPLAINT AGAINST ME, THE NYSOCFS WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL TO CEASE PAYMENTS TO ME FOR DAY CARE SERVICES RENDERED.
*JANUARY 2009, AFTER 6 MONTHS WITHOUT PAYMENT FOR DAY CARE SERVICES FROM THE ECDSS, I LAUNCHED A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES FOR NON-PAYMENT. MY BUSINESS WAS DISSIPATING QUICKLY
*BETWEEN MAY 2009 TO FEBRUARY 2009, NYSOCFS WAS ABLE TO FALSELY CONSPIRE WITH THE ECDSS INVESTIGATORS, AND ERIE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY, STEPHEN J. DILORENZO TO CHARGE , INDICT, CONVICT, & JAIL ME.
MY NIGHTMARE FROM HELL WITH THE NYSOCFS WAS THE RESULT OF MY ASSOCIATION & ACQUITTANCE WITH THE ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER'S FAMILY MEMBERS.
FROM THE CHILDREN I EXCEPTED FROM THE ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER, I BECAME A TARGET OF A FALSE INVESTIGATION THAT ULTIMATELY LEAD TO MY CONVICTION.
NYSOCFS SUPERVISOR PATRICIA HARPER, PURPOSELY ABRUPTLY CHANGED MY LICENSOR WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATION. THIS NYSOCFS SUPERVISOR CONSPIRED TO RAILROAD ME OUT OF BUSINESS,WHILE NETWORKING WITH THE ECDSS TO BRING FALSE CHARGES AGAINST ME. MY ENTIRE CASE IS OF PUBLIC RECORD.
I WAS CONVICTED FOR OPERATING AND RUNNING A PHANTOM DAY CARE. MY DAY CARE COULD ONLY EXIST WITH THESE FOUR COMPONENTS: NYSOCFS, ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES, PARENTS/FAMILIES, AND ME.
MY LIFE HAS TREMENDOUSLY BEEN TORN UPSIDE DOWN. I HAD A STEADY JOB PRIOR TO STARTING MY OWN DAY CARE BUSINESS. I DID NOT THINK THAT THE ECONOMY WOULD BE STABLE ENOUGH FOR ME TO CONTINUE ON MY JOB. THIS WHY I DECIDED TO START MY OWN BUSINESS.
NOW I AM UNEMPLOYED AND HAVE A FELONY CONVICTION. AT AGE 26, THIS IS NOT WHAT I IMAGINED MY FUTURE WOULD BE .
NOTE: ONE OF THE JURORS AT MY TRIAL, SIGNED A BLOG: "THEFIXISIN" , I OFTEN WONDER WHAT THIS MEANT. COULD IT HAVE MEANT THAT MY CASE WAS FIXED?
TO THIS DATE, I RETAIN ALL DOCUMENTS TO SUPPORT MY INNOCENCE & INJUSTICE FROM THE NYSOCFS AND THE ERIE COUNTY DEPT. OF SOCIAL SERVICES.

ALICIA QUINN: RETALIATION AGAINST ME FROM THE BUFFALO REGIONAL OFFICE, NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES
NOTE: AT THIS TIME ELAQUENCE WAS EXPERIENCING CONSTANT HARRASSMENT FROM THE NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES.
*NYSOCFS REFUSED TO RESPOND TO HELPING HANDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK'S APPLICATION FOR OPERATION OF A NEW DAY CARE CENTER, (INITIAL APPLICATION COMPLETED 2006).
*IN OR ABOUT JANUARY 2008, SUPREME COURT JUDGE KEVIN DILLON DEMANDED THE NYSOCFS PROVIDE HELPING HANDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK, INC. WITH A RESPONSE TO MY COMPLETED APPLICATION .
*LATE JANUARY 2008, NYSOCFS PROVIDED A RESPONSE OF DENIAL.
NOTE: CHARGES/VIOLATIONS WERE PENDING AGAINST ME FOR THE ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER, WHEN THEIR HEARING TOOK PLACE IN 2005.
IN FEBRUARY 2008, HELPING HANDS PRESIDENT WALKED INTO NYS SENATOR ANTOINE THOMPSON'S OFFICE TO DEMAND SOME HELP. ASSISTANT CHIEF OF STAFF, MARK BOYD INFORMED HELPING HANDS HE SPOKE WITH NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES COMMISSIONER, GLADYS CARRION. ASSURED BY COMMISSIONER CARRION'S CONFERENCE CALL WITH MR. BOYD, APPROVAL FOR A NEW FACILITY WOULD BE THE RESULT IF CHARGES/VIOLATIONS WERE SUBSTANTIATED.
*NYSOCFS REFUSED TO PROVIDE HELPING HANDS FAIR TREATMENT IN PROCESSING THEIR APPLICATION IN A TIMELY MANNER. (PURPOSELY REFUSING AMPLE TIME FOR NECESSARY CORRECTIONS OR SUBSTANTIATIONS).
*NYSOCFS WORKED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY OF BUFFALO BUILDING INSPECTOR, ROBERT FELSCHOW TO DENY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY TO HELPING HANDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK. NOTE: ALL REQUESTED REPAIRS SUBMITTED BY CITY OF BUFFALO INSPECTOR FELSCHOW WERE SATISFIED. NYSOCFS/FIRE & SAFETY INSPECTOR, BOB REED AND CITY OF BUFFALO BUILDING INSPECTOR, ROBERT FELSCHOW ARE LONG TIME ACQUAINTANCE'S.
NYS OFFICE OF CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES RETALIATION AGAINST ME WAS A RESULT OF MY MOTHER, FORMER ELAQUENCE DAY CARE OWNER, ELLA QUINN, WINNING HER STATE SUPREME COURT CASE AGAINST THE NYSOCFS IN 2002. THE AGENCY'S SUPERVISOR, PATRICIA HARPER, AND REGIONAL MANAGER, BOB STOCZYNSKI, CARRIED OUT A STRATEGY TO DENY ANY DAY CARE ACTIVITIES AT THE FORMER ELAQUENCE DAY CARE CENTER .
I..., HELPING HANDS, WAS CERTAINLY MADE AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULES BY NYSOCFS, BY BRINGING FORTH AN ARTICLE 78, JUST TO RECEIVE A SIMPLE ANSWER REGARDING MY APPLICATION, WHETHER I WAS "APPROVED" OR "DENIED".
IN ADDITION, CITY OF BUFFALO INSPECTOR, ROBERT FELSCHOW JOINED THIS CONSPIRACY AND RETALIATION WITH NYSOCFS REGIONAL MANAGER, BOB STOCZYNSKI AND NYSOCFS FIRE & SAFETY INSPECTOR'S, BOB REED AND RON KLIMOWICZ, TO ENSURE THAT HELPING HANDS OF WESTERN NEW YORK WOULD NOT RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
HOWEVER, AFTER ALL ISSUES WERE SUBSTANTIATED ACCORDING TO CITY OF BUFFALO INSPECTOR, FELSCHOW'S INSPECTION REPORT. PRESENTLY, I STRUGGLE TO RECEIVE FAIR TREATMENT FROM THE NYSOCFS. I RETAIN ON RECORD ALL SUPPORTING EVIDENCE OF THIS INJUSTICE I SUFFERED FROM THIS LOCAL STATE OFFICE AGENCY.
