Chasing the Lost

Thomas Valva - A mothers journey for justice

"I told the judges, if you're not going to remove my children they're going to die," said Thomas' mother, Justyna Zubko-Valva, following the court appearance.
Zubko-Valva said she's been reporting to authorities for years about the alleged abuse by Valva and Pollina of her sons.
A Suffolk County family court judge decided Monday to allow Zubko-Valva to continue to have temporary custody of her sons, who are 10 and 6 years old. She was granted temporary custody last week.
Zubko-Valva lost full custody of her sons in 2018.
Valva and Pollina, both standing in handcuffs before the judge, denied the child abuse complaints.
