Please help us protect the vulnerable!
We are parents of a child who was molested at World of Discovery Day Camp of Queens by acounselor, Joseph Denice (who worked here roughly from 2! through 2"#$
We are here today because we are concerned about others who might be hurt or have been hurt byDenice, especially those who may be suffering in shame, secrecy and self%blame$
&or the past several years, we have tried to get World of Discovery Day Camp officials to publicly admitthat our child's allegations against Denice are credible$ hey have refused$ Camp officials haverefused to turn over their )investigation report' to us despite numerous re*uests$
+n December of 2!, -teve .onomo, one of the directors of World of Discovery Day Camp admittedthat Denice, without telling us, wrote a check for our child's tuition$ (+t bounced twice$# We were nevertold about this$ /ad we been told, we would have known something was wrong$ (Why would a campcounselor be writing a check for our child when we, his0her parents, had already done so1#
Denice was giving cigarettes and alcohol to our child at the camp in Crocheron ark and on anovernight trip to /ershey ark$ +n addition, World of Discovery Day Camp had no protective measuresin place to make sure adult camp counselors, like Denice, were not sleeping in the same bed as thechildren on the overnight trips$ 3s a direct result of the negligence by camp officials, our child was
abused$
4ur fear is that there are other children and young adults who were hurt as kids by Denice and who arenow depressed, isolated, addicted, ashamed, and struggling$ World of Discovery Day Camp's staffshould be reaching out to them, but are not$ We want to find and help those children and young adults(men and women#$ lease help us do this$
