Dear Igor,
As you were aware, Child Protective Services became reinvolved with your family due to a
report with new allegations of child abuse and neglect. I was assigned to assess those concerns.
The Department appreciates your cooperation during this process. I have spoken with numerous
people including you, your attorney Michael Waxman, your daughter Mila Malenko, her mother
Lori Malenko and other collaterals involved. Along with gathering/recieving records pertinent to
this matter.
The Department has made the following decision: In regards to the allegation of physical abuse
to Mila by you, the Department finds the allegation unsubstantiated. There were no findings to
support that you had hit Mila in the head with a pan or any other indications that you physically
abuse her. Mila disclosed to two caseworkers in separate interviews when asked about this that
you did not hit her nor hit her with a pan. She also said that her mother told her these things
despite you not having done this.
At this time the Department will not be remaining involved with you and will be closing the
assessment unsubstantiated. Your family is involved in family court and the Department is
hopeful that things will be able to sorted out in the best interest for Mila.
If you have any other questions you can reach me directly at 207-822-2264.
Sincerely
Alicia Cummings LSW
