I was falsely accused of Elder Abuse and Child Abuse of
both residents in my Adult Care Home and my three children
by two revengeful former employees 1 1/2 years ago. The
case never went anywhere and was unfounded by the
Commissioner of our County Social Services.

I am very bitter that these two women were never
prosecuted for their false reporting.

I am a prominent business person in own Village of 1400
people, I am the local treasurer of the food pantry, I am
the Captain of our local Emergency Medical Services Squad,
have three children, married for 15 years and a full-time
student as well as caring for my older live-in guests.

But I am still angry and I just don't understand why at
the time of this accusation that was false - no one
bothered to go after these two people who wanted revenge
against me?
I have spent a lifetime doing good things and two people
almost ruined my livelihood based on hatred and
bitterness. Why? One employee wanted me to fire her so
that she could collect unemployment - I wouldn't based on
the fact that I didn't have enough to ethically let her
go, she had only messed up one, but it was a big mess.
The other is dating the first's brother. This one I can't
believe did this, as she not only worked for me once, came
back again when she finished college. I helped her in
college with finances and helped her again when she
couldn't pay for living expenses, also sent her soldier
boyfriend personal items when he was in Iraq! When she
couldn't live on her salary - I gave her a huge raise,
then she said she needed another job, I gave her another
job at my other company.

I am a foolish person, I know. But I like to believe that
I am helping someone.

There was no elder abuse - if there was she would have
seen it, and not worked for me a second time and not have
offered up her future sister in law as a potential
employee.

How can I convince my District Attorney to prosecute a
Class A misdemeanor when I don't have positive proof -
names written on paper. I had heard that after a specific
amount of time after a false report and the report is
unfounded a person can find out who made the false report.
Have you heard of this in NYS?

I would like to know. Any advice? I have left a message
with the DA's office hoping that they might find this
interesting.
