Over the past two years, at least a dozen calls to child protection hotlines appear to have come from worried school officials and teachers expressing concerns for the child and his two brothers — one of whom, like Tommy, was autistic.
The boys’ mother also issued warnings, posting videos online from the children, who lived with their father and his fiancée in Center Moriches, Long Island. Story continuesMonica Mahaffey, a spokeswoman for the New York state Office of Children and Family Services, said she couldn’t comment on details of the case. But she said, “Our agency will review Suffolk County’s casework and will issue any recommendations for improvement or corrective actions based upon our findings. We will also review the county’s investigation into the handling of this case.”Justyna Zubko-Valva, the boys’ mother, is a correction officer at Rikers Island.
In a call on Dec. 30, 2015, Zubko-Valva told police that her children had not eaten that day in her husband’s care.“Father Had McDonalds bag filled with food in his hands,” the email said. Officers determined the claims were unfounded. Zubko-Valva has also faced accusations of neglect. In September 2017, a judge initially awarded full custody of the children to her husband in their divorce. Zubko-Valva said her husband told judges in divorce proceedings that she was mentally ill. That same year, she reported contusions on Tommy’s buttocks to child services and ended up on trial herself for neglect in Suffolk County Family Court. The charges were dismissed.
