On April - 19 - 2010
A veteran Queens prosecutor said Thursday that a recent surge in brutal child abuse cases – including four deaths – is the worst she has seen in the borough in 25 years.
At least eight Queens children have been badly beaten since Feb. 25, and authorities are unsure what to do to stop the disturbing upswing.
“We’ve never seen anything like this,” said Marjory Fisher, chief of Special Victims Bureau in the Queens district attorney’s office.
