WHAT A HEEL: Child Welfare Caseworker Played Hooky Instead Of Checking Up On Truants
Stephanie Sabouni, 27, a former caseworker for NYC’s Administration for Children's Services has been charged with seven first-degree felony counts of tampering with public records for allegedly claiming to have visited the families of truants between 2005 to 2007 and fraudulently documenting visits that never occurred, reports the New York Daily News:
The forged documents were found shortly after Sabouni left the ACS to become a teacher at a Brooklyn middle school, authorities said.
"After several Brooklyn families told ACS employees that they had never met the former child protective specialist who had written about her supposed visits to their homes, ACS alerted [us]," said city Investigation Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn. …
Sabouni, who attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice and earned a master's degree in education from Touro College in Manhattan, denied the charges.
Sabouni faces up to seven years in prison for each charge.
