..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.
YOUNG MAN SURELY REMEMBER THAT WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND. EVERYBODY GETS JUSTICE IN THE END.

ReplyDeleteOffice of Family and Children are corrupt. Untouchable. Reading your story makes me fear them even more. I have called every agency in NYS. OOF&C put me on a list so no one will take my calls. Even my lawyer is powerless against them. Five years since your story was posted and its not gotten any better. Even with the mother of my children on tape selling oxycotin. Then finally after years of calling reports which they all labeled unfounded. The mother of my children admit her addiction and the put her on Subutex. So she begins selling the subutex, which she says on audio gets her just as high as the 20 mg oxycotin. Even after playing these recordings for Tompkins County CPS. They do nothing. She relapses on ecstacy three months later. Still CPS does nothing. They then allow her to complete treatment two months later. She was back usung with in a month and has been ever since. If she was not white or if she was a man doing this. She would lose alk of her children. But since the court proceeding ended she has gone on to have a 6th baby who is a year old. DSS and CPS did not encourage her to name the father. Now she back trying to ruin my childrens lives asking for over nights and expanded visitation. CPS is once again backing her saying im abusive and controlling. She always plays the victom. 7 months She did not see our children after I was given full custody in Sept 2013. Now little over two years and another child being supported by tax payers, she is turning our families world upside down. Ahes on SSI Disability for mental illness yet is not required to stay on medicine or even be in counseling. CPS says I should have my children un counseling to learn to deal with a terrible mother. Its her rightcto be a terrible mother. OOF&C does not care about her habitual opiate addiction because they say it doesnt effect her caring for the children. System is corrupt.
ReplyDeleteSounds familiar
ReplyDeleteTry he ECDSS handing checks out to the Salvation Army ARC and then collecting back from the ss# they forced to scam it - 7 years later. Yes - fraud happens within the Rath building. The Sally alone probably $250K/yr. Just disappears from the TA to their business operation. Strong arming, misleading information requests not properly checked, trying to hush it up. Thats how the rats at the RATh building have jobs. They are scumbags
