Thomas Valva’s mom files $200M suit over his freezing death

The mother of Thomas Valva filed Tuesday, claiming Long Island courts, school officials and social service agencies failed to protect the boy from his abusive ex-NYPD cop dad before the youngster froze to death in January...
...Justyna Zubko-Valva claims in court papers that her autistic 8-year-old son was subjected to years of “completely preventable” abuse at the hands of his cop dad, Michael Valva, and
his girlfriend, Angela Pollina — while officials continually looked the other way, her lawyers said in a release.
“Ms. Zubko-Valva had provided evidence to the court, CPS, the police and the children’s (Family Court) attorneys several times that showed the severe physical, mental, and sexual abuse of her children by Valva and Pollina,” the release said.
“Rather than taking action to protect the children and stop their abuse by their father and his fiancee, and report the multiple complaints of abuse that had been made, as required under New York State Social Services Law, defendants hid the truth about the children’s health and fabricated false, misleading and dishonest reports about Ms. Zubko-Valva and her children.”
The lawsuit names Suffolk County Child Protective Services and several supervisors, the East Moriches Union Free School District and officials there, the Suffolk County Attorney’s Office, and Nassau County Supreme Court Justice Hope Schwartz Zimmerman, who gave custody of the children to Michael Valva.
