Good evening,
I am requesting a press release to make the public aware of how easy it is for an agency, the Administration for Children’s Services in Queens, and operating out of the Queens Family Court, to falsify records and provide law enforcement with false information related to the neglect case they have against me and conceal how the father of my child, Gerd Ruci, was able to obtain a US passport for our baby without my consent. I have attached various documents, collages if you will, that I have compiled of the records regarding my case. Attached you will find a transcript for September 4th from Judge Jolly, who was assigned the custody petitions and subsequently, dismissed them. You will also find two transcripts from Judge Shulman’s courtroom, 8/30/19 & 9/4/19, that were fabricated, but with the intent of including & excluding one thing: there was no mention of a custody petition or the custody case. In fact, at the last court appearance of August 26th (see transcript), I had no idea that, Referee McGrady, had issued a temporary order of custody behind my back.
I have a recording from October 9th at ACS when Chiemika Alozie, ACS social worker, mentions and confirms that he was unaware of this order and he was present in court on August 26th. Chiemika Alozie, also called in a false report to the State Central Register on August 27th and used some of the information from the Suffolk County social worker, Janet Richter’s entry for the COI, and falsified the rest. There is a collage attached of this information attached. The October 9th recording also has Mr. Alozie admitting he never spoke to anyone, not even the Lieutenant, and how the first court appearance took place on August 28th.
This man has no remorse for submitting perjury and making an “indicated” finding against me to the Office of Children and Family Services. What should I have done? Stay quiet and act like I didn’t see any bruises? That’s what ACS had been telling me to do since the reports started, so I filed a complaint with the mayor and various senators. If you would like copies of the e-mails I sent to various senators, agencies, and others, please let me know.The bruises on my baby were sustained while he was in the care of his father.
I know my ex is violent. I received a permanent order of protection from the Queens Criminal Court on May 6th, 2020, when my ex pled down to disorderly conduct for attacking me on September 19th, 2018. The FSU caseworker, Elizabeth Peebles, has lied to the FBI several times and the Department of State, regarding the US passport my ex obtained for our son. If you do not believe me, I will say this, if my ex has “valid orders” of custody, then why is he still paying me child support? To this day, I receive child support payments deposited to my account. People with valid orders, from an ethical judge, have nothing to hide. If you want those records, please let me know. I have been fighting to throw out this fabricated neglect petition for months, and the bruises did not stop.
Mr. Alozie turned a blind eye and I also have this recorded, where he is screaming at me to “stop asking me questions I do not have the answers to.” I am not fighting just one beast. I am fighting collusion and some type of financial arrangement that occurred sometime prior to the August 26th court appearance between Frank Galchus, Glenn Kaplan, and Lisa Rodin. I say financial because people do not commit federal crimes, omit information pertaining to criminal charges, violations of my order of protection, and submit slander from my ex in COI’s (and other things) out of the pure goodness of their heart. There is always a financial incentive to motivate someone to do wrong to another, even to a child and his little brother. I requested the OCFS records and have what was reported to the SCR for court ordered investigations. ACS was the middleman between the Queens Family Court and Suffolk County CPS.
After the last COI was due May 22nd, 2019, ACS stopped calling in the reports to the SCR because they did not want a trail of evidence against my ex. I can send you what I received and the transcript. The first time the US passport was mentioned to me was on January 31st in the morning. Elizabeth Peebles called to notify me that my ex and my baby left to Albania the day before, January 30th. She also said that she was aware my ex had obtained “permission” from the Judge before leaving. I was the last one to know and I have not lost my parental rights or had them terminated. I told her that it was not possible for my baby to have a US passport, but all she did was scream at me, like I’m just supposed to deal with it. In fact, there has not even been a trial or fact-finding for this neglect case since it was conspired on August 28th or written on August 30th. My ex left to Albania on Saturday April 25th.
I signed up my baby for the Passport Alert program when I first found out about the passport, but I got no alert that weekend or before then. The agent at the State Department informed me that he was able to find my baby by name and that his US passport was not used to travel on April 25th. The agent did confirm that my baby had travelled out of the country, but there were documents he needed to obtain from North Carolina. Apparently, my ex had used one his fraudulent and secret temporary custody orders from Judge Shulman to apply for the US passport. The agent told me that the first application was denied and could not be approved without more records to bypass my signature/consent. In the meantime, Elizabeth Peebles had lied to the Suffolk County PD after I filed a police report (see attachments) and I had to beg the Sgt. to call the supervisor. The supervisor, Mr. Roman, told me, “I do not know why Ms. Peebles said that. We did not know he left the country.” She told the FBI that the judge had approved his travel and nothing about the passport, in late January, early February. To keep the authorities distracted, Elizabeth Peebles and others at ACS tell the authorities that I “show up at the homes of ACS attorney’s” and “Judge Shulman issued an order” prohibiting me from doing that.
What they don’t say is that two motions were served by a third party, my grandpa, and no one accused me of being in their home on January 9th, in court. The ACS attorney, Dana Naughton, who was being served had not been at work in 5 weeks, as stated by her husband, who was screaming in the middle of the street. Ms. Naughton was also not present in court that day. Judge Shulman is a former supervising attorney for the Administration for Children’s Services and loyal to her former employer. I believe that Judge Shulman retaliated against my motion because I showed that Glenn Kaplan, my baby’s attorney, was a former ACS attorney and that Ms. Naughton had suspensions in her former home state of Nebraska. Please let me know if you would like copies of what was included in my motion. AFC’s, like Glenn Kaplan, make a lot of money off neglect petitions as 18B attorneys. Someone should investigate why this area of the family court abuses more children than any parent and how much money these attorney’s make pushing past the limits of the $4,400.00 cap.
I proved there was never a custody hearing and that the accusations solely came from Glenn Kaplan, who never even got an affidavit from a Lieutenant Teplansky, who called him the Saturday before court. I have been victimized repeatedly at the hands of my ex, directly and through others. But I cannot solely blame him for what the police officers, the Lieutenant, ACS et al have done to me. These people were monsters before my ex approached them. I previously copied you all on an e-mail that I sent to Lisa Rodin, Amy Wisler, Suzanne Blond and Frank Galchus with evidence that I withdrew my custody petition on February 7th, 2020, even though it was dismissed back on September 4th, 2019. Monsters have a way of finding each other. I have been a bookkeeper, a controller, an assistant controller, etc. for over ten years. I have participated in state and federal audits, so I know how to research and am very knowledgeable in accounting.
I do not take someone’s word about an IRS debt without doing my research to make sure that, when I assist in presenting to the IRS a corrected tax liability for the client, based on income and assets, the CPA can confidently negotiate a settlement or payment arrangement based on a reduction that I have verified to be true. I know what “two sets of books” looks like in accounting. Believe me, business owners have a way of nickeling and diming Uncle Sam because the latter does the same. My job is to remind the owner that if, I am to put my name on their quarterly reports and other financial documents, they are going to report everything according to the rules.
This Judge has “two sets of calendars” and I am confident that this is not her first time doing this and altering transcripts to hide it. There are “kickbacks”, if you will, in child protective proceedings. The rules are that ACS, or whatever agency files the petition, must be the one to apply for the Title IV-E funds and the documentation must have already been submitted before the application is made. Records of efforts to avoid the separation of the parent and child must be shown as well as evidence of a hearing and orders pursuant to that hearing must be submitted for an approval. This was falsified as you can tell by the transcripts from Judge Jolly on the afternoon of September 4th. Four court appearances were withheld from any record. This is evidence of a second court calendar. The fact remains that my baby has a US passport that I never consented to. He was taken out of this country with a foreign passport and ACS has subsequently concocted a story that I was “quiet” during a “hearing” in August when the passport was mentioned. This never happened. My fear has always been that my ex was going to take my baby to Albania because he had threatened me with it many times. I have never seen this level of corruption before.
Are we in America? I do not recognize this country anymore. ACS attorneys are in the courthouse giving the authorities documents that I have never seen and never received and stating they are valid. I cannot imagine what other documents they have fabricated to redirect authorities from bringing my baby home. My baby was still breastfeeding when he was taken from me. A person can only handle so much and even less when the abuse is directed at her child. I am helplessly trying to fight a conglomerate beast with state and federal funds used against me. I was lured to the ACS building in Jamaica, Queens to a “meeting” that I was previously told to come because I was going to get my baby back. They threatened me with jail and threatened to put my 5 year old son in foster care if I did not sign their document and agree that I am on medication that has never prescribed to me and that I never saw bruises on my baby.
I have attached a copy of what ACS calls “child safety conference” and the neglect petition. This is also fraud and if you would like those records, please let me know. Due to this, I gave custody of my 5-year-old to my parents to protect him from foster care. Can you fathom an agency trying to force a mother to choose between which child to save, the one who comes home with unexplained bruises or the one in foster care? They wanted me to sign so they could get rid of evidence that they knew about the bruises and chose to do nothing. My mother was also with me that day, just as she was with me on August 12th. Judeene Steele, ACS supervisor, told me that she knew about the bruises and advised my ex to have police officers do “body checks” on our baby, before and after, each exchange. She is a monster. Whatever records you need from me, please do not hesitate to ask. There is a limited amount of MB I can send per e-mail, so this one is limited to that amount. There are more records I have left out due to space.
My baby and his brother have only seen each other once in 10 months and they grew up together. I cannot expose these monsters alone. I am pleading for your help. I am begging for your help. Please think of my little ones. Help me bring my baby home.
Respectfully,
Victoria Navarro
DNAinfo new York – Education advocates fed up with a lack of English, math and science in some Jewish parochial schools have taken their frustration to the street — or, more accurately, to a huge billboard overhanging the BQE.
Activists from New York’s Orthodox Jewish community say the Department of Education is failing to enforce legal minimum standards for basic education in some yeshivas.
The activists said that when they tried to buy ads in the city’s prominent Yiddish-language newspapers to bring attention to the shortfall in instruction, they were refused space. So they bought the billboard.
“It’s your mitzvah,” their message read on Prospect Avenue Tuesday. “It’s the law.”
A DNAinfo New York investigation earlier this year uncovered huge scholastic gaps at many of Brooklyn’s most prominent yeshivas — schools that serve more than 84,000 students, a third as many as attend the borough’s public schools.
Educators continue to flout that law, and officials continue to ignore it, the investigation found.
The billboard includes a quote in Hebrew from Talmud, which says a person must teach his son a trade, said activist Naftuli Moster, whose organization YAFFED (Young Advocates for Fair Education) has spent more than a year lobbying city and state education officials to enforce “equivalency of instruction” rules in the city’s crowded Jewish schools.
“Obviously, nowadays yeshivas should take on that role as messengers of the parents,” Moster said.
At Williamsburg’s enormous United Talmudical Academy, male students receive fewer than six hours of general instruction a week for four years, while Crown Heights’ Oholei Torah doesn’t teach English or math at all, the investigation found.
“Our strategy has always been to get people from within the community to speak up and demand a change in the current education system, where 14-year-olds spend 14 hours a day without learning a single word of English, math, science, history or geography,” Moster said.
“All are subjects that schools are required to provide by law, and the government is required to ensure that schools do.”
Instead, the city DOE has ignored schools under its supervision that graduate students without Regents diplomas — many of them functionally illiterate in English, DNAinfo New York found.
The DOE did not immediately return calls for comment.
In parts of Borough Park and Williamsburg, it’s common to find young men who were born in New York, educated all their lives in Brooklyn and yet struggle to hold a simple conversation in English.
“Just a few weeks ago I tried putting ads in a few Jewish newspapers. They were rejected,” Moster said.
“It had some different wording, more text. It said, ‘Your son deserves better.'”
Satmar Chassidic Rabbi Nechemya Weberman is finally in Rikers for his next life too. This is the same pervert that the Satmar Chassici community in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn NY put up two fundraising events to support his legal fees. This is the same Weberman who masterminded the continued torture of the victim and her family. This is the same Weberman who has so many blind followers, that he made sure that famed victim’s advocate Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg was attacked on the streets with bleach thrown into his eyes!
Read: Weberman’s Victim Speaks Out
—-
NY DAILY NEWS: A prominent Satmar Hasidic counselor was sentenced Tuesday to 103 years in prison for his repeated sexual abuse of a teenage girl during a three-year stretch of depravity.
Nechemya Weberman, 54, said nothing as the stunning jail term was handed down after his victim delivered a heart-wrenching statement inside a Brooklyn courtroom.
“I remember how I would look in the mirror,” the victim recounted. “I saw a girl who didn’t want to live in her own skin. A girl whose innocence was shattered at age 12.
“A sad girl who wanted to live a normal life, but instead was being victimized by a 50-year-old man who forced her to perform sickening acts again and again.”
Weberman, who served as a counselor for members of the ultra-Orthodox Satmar sect, was convicted last month on 59 counts of abuse for the repeated attacks that occurred from 2007 to 2010.
The victim said she was forced to perform oral sex and act out scenes from pornographic movies up to four times a week when she met with Weberman for counseling.
The victim, now 18, went to authorities in February 2011 to detail the abuse that began when she was just 12 years old.
Weberman, who did not speak at the sentencing, was sent to Rikers Island without bail after his conviction. He faced a maximum sentence of 117 years behind bars.
Brooklyn DA: KINGS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHARLES J. HYNES AND NYC HUMAN RESOURCES ADMINISTRATION COMMISSIONER ROBERT DOAR ANNOUNCE THE INDICTMENT OF A HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO STOLE OVER $100,000 IN FOOD STAMPS AND MEDICAID BENEFITS OVER SIX YEARS
COUPLE USED ALIASES TO HIDE PROPERTY, JEWELRY AND LUXURY CARS
Brooklyn, July 23, 2012 – Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes and Human Resources Administration Commissioner Robert Doar today announced the indictment of Rivka Baror, 51, and her husband Avraham Baror, 64, for fraudulently collecting $108,715.57 in Medicaid and food-stamp benefits, from January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2012.
Charges against Mr. and Mrs. Baror include Welfare Fraud in the Second Degree, Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, and Offering a False Instrument for Filing in the First Degree. If convicted of the top count, the defendants face a maximum of 15 years in prison.
According to the defendants’ welfare application forms filed under the names Avraham Baror and Rivka Baror, during this period, the couple had minimal income and no assets, making them eligible to receive Medicaid and food-stamp benefits. Investigators from HRA and the District Attorney’s office uncovered documents showing the defendants used aliases to maintain bank accounts and purchase property, cars, and vacations.
District Attorney Hynes said, “These defendants carried out an elaborate scheme using aliases to buy property, travel, and live the high life for years, while stealing benefits designed to help truly needy and deserving individuals. Anyone who intentionally conceals information to obtain illegal benefits will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I would like to thank Commissioner Doar and HRA for their assistance in this investigation.”
According to the indictment, the couple claimed that they rented their home at 1349 East 2nd Street in Brooklyn from the landlord, Avraham Bachbuth for $1,100 a month. Avraham Bachbuth was the alleged alias used by Avraham Baror. According to property documents, Avraham Bachbuth purchased the property in April 2004, along with Rivka Yedidia. Yedidia is Mrs. Baror’s maiden name. Like her husband, Mrs. Baror allegedly used the name as an alias.
The indictment also alleges the defendants had several bank accounts under the names of Rivka Yedidia and Avraham Bachbuth and made average monthly cash deposits of $4,400. The couple had two safe deposit boxes at two separate banks. One contained $72,700 and €1,500. The other had jewelry and a foreign passport in Avraham Baror’s name.
Credit card account statements showed purchases at restaurants, movie theaters and stores including The Home Depot, Ikea and Victoria’s Secret. The investigation also uncovered NYS Department of Motor Vehicle records for a 2006, 2007 and 2008 BMW as well as a 2007 Lexus registered to Rivka Yedidia.
“This case is an egregious example of individuals who abuse New York City’s public benefit programs. It also represents a good instance in which our Finger Imaging System photos helped us weed out Food Stamp fraud,” said HRA Commissioner Robert Doar. “Every fraudulent dollar spent in this case, was a dollar taken away from New Yorkers truly in need of Food Stamps and Medicaid and it will not be tolerated. I would like to thank District Attorney Hynes and his team for their continuing support in the fight against public benefit fraud.”
HRA investigator Thomas Toth said he uncovered the couple’s fraud after he met Rivka Yedidia at the agency’s Manhattan office in 2010. He learned she had been coming to the office since 2009, working on behalf of individuals seeking HRA benefits. Yedidia would help them with paperwork, interviews and eligibility issues. After they met, Toth said Yedidia told him that she had paid off the mortgage on her home with the proceeds she received from a lawsuit.
Toth suspected Rivka Yedidia’s knowledge of the Medicaid program could be based on her own receipt of benefits. Toth found no records for welfare benefit recipients named Rivka Yedidia. A subsequent search of the records using the home address that Yedidia had given him revealed that an individual by the name of Rivka Baror lived there and had the same date of birth as Rivka Yedidia. Investigator Toth confirmed that Rivka Yedidia was a food-stamp and Medicaid benefit recipient under the name of Rivka Baror. Photos confirmed that the two individuals were in fact the same person.
The defendants are expected to be arraigned today at Kings County Supreme Court, Part 10, at 320 Jay Street.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
The case was investigated by Investigator Thomas Toth, of the Human Resources Administration Bureau of Fraud Investigations, Supervising Detective Investigator Clyde Augustine, and Detective Investigator Efrain Alvarado, both from the District Attorney’s Office.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Joel Greenwald of the Public Assistance Crimes Unit. Lauren Mack is the Chief of the Public Assistance Crimes Unit.

NY DAILY NEWS: Andrew Goodman, 27, pleaded guilty to 48 counts of sexual abuse.
NY DAILY NEWS – Confessed pervert tells stunned Brooklyn courtroom he loves his victim.
An admitted child molester stared at his teenage victim and professed his unending love for him Thursday in front of a shocked Brooklyn courtroom — but still got only two years behind bars.
******** CALA NOTE: Andrew Goodman is a former social worker and OHEL employee! ***********
The sickening display by Andrew Goodman, 27, came after one of his two victims begged Supreme Court Justice Martin Murphy not to go so easy on the serial pedophile, who’ll be back on the streets in two months after time served. Prosecutors also strongly objected to the plea agreement.
“Letting this man go is a very grave mistake,” the boy, now 17, said as his body trembled. “I have no doubt he’ll try to do the same thing to other children once he gets out.”
Goodman admitted to sexually abusing the youth and his brother for four years, starting when they were 12 and 13.
The victim described how his handsome neighbor earned his trust by buying him gifts, taking him to restaurants and alienating him from his parents before pressuring him into having sex.
“You are the worst thing that ever happened to me,” he told the defendant. “You are the devil disguised as a human.”
When it was Goodman’s turn to speak, he turned to the traumatized victim and told him “I love you” as the packed courtroom gasped and grunted in disbelief.
“I did and still do to this day love (you),” the predator added. “I fell in love with you and I wish I never allowed my sexual desires to get in the way of what I valued more, which is your friendship.”
None of that — or pleas by the boys’ mother and prosecutor Elizabeth Doerfler, who called the sentence “woefully low” — swayed the judge.
“You caused a lot of pain to all the complainants,” Judge Murphy told Goodman. “The statements that you made today are ill-advised to say the least.”
But without giving an explanation, he meted out the minimum allowable sentence that was agreed to after the former social worker pleaded to the entire 48-count indictment.
Prosecutors were seeking seven years in prison on each count, which would have added up to a de facto life sentence.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said the sentence “defies logic and is frankly inexplicable.”
Goodman will likely also have to register as a sex offender for life.
When he made bail after his 2010 arrest, concerned community members surreptitiously filmed numerous other boys leaving his Flatbush home in the early morning hours.
No additional cases emerged, but, after hearing about the surveillance, a different judge locked Goodman up in lieu of $1 million bail, meaning he’s already served almost his entire sentence.
The boy described in court “four long and torturous years” in which Goodman groomed him then made him feel “bad and unappreciative” if he didn’t succumb to the sexual come-ons.
As a result of the abuse, the teen said, he quit school, has no friends and is struggling to cope in social situations.
“This is a very dangerous man,” he told the judge. “Not only because of the crimes he committed, but also because he has no remorse.”
The victims’ mother and other advocates warned that the lenient penalty will discourage others from going through the hardship of filing complaints. Brooklyn prosecutors have railed against intimidation some accusers face when bringing abuse allegations in the Jewish community.
The Forward: After years criticizing Brooklyn’s district attorney, a group of advocates for victims of childhood sexual abuse has joined a new committee set up by Charles Hynes to collaborate on combating such abuse in the ultra-Orthodox community.
The advocates, who include longtime community activists Asher Lipner, Mark Appel and Joel Engelman, met with Hynes and several of his colleagues for about two hours on July 9.
Rhonnie Jaus, the head of Hynes’s sex crimes division, said the meeting was designed to open up lines of communication between the D.A.’s office and some of his staunchest critics.
“It was very positive,” Jaus said. “Everybody felt we made progress.”
Hynes has been assailed from all sides in recent months for his handling of abuse cases in the ultra-Orthodox community.
He has publicly distanced himself from the ultra-Orthodox umbrella organization Agudath Israel of America in the wake of claims that he tacitly accepted the group’s policy that members of the Orthodox community must first get permission from a rabbi before taking a suspected case of sexual abuse to secular authorities for investigation. In May, Hynes set up a task force to combat witness intimidation, which is said to be widespread in sexual abuse cases within some Brooklyn Orthodox communities.
Nevertheless, many observers still question several of Hynes’s policies, particularly his insistence on maintaining the anonymity of ultra-Orthodox perpetrators of abuse.
Engelman said the July 9 meeting focused not on policy but on working together to better serve victims and their families. “We haven’t had this opportunity before and we hope something can come of it,” he said.
Not that there is anything wrong with his civil work now, marrying the gays, but at least he is no longer making traumatic and tragic decisions impacting children’s lives through his stint in family court. Thank you to parents and advocates who worked tirelessly to sue this judge and file appeals until he was finally removed from family courts in Staten Island and Brooklyn.
