Evelyn Nissirios — My Mandated Warning of Child Abuse to the Saddle River School District Superintendent
When the Saddle River School Board President Ignored My Mandated Warning Concerning Evelyn Nissirios’ Child Abuse, I Copied the Saddle River School District Superintendent
I am documenting the below at the request of Saddle River community members.
As a mandated reporter, I am legally required to continue reporting, warning, and protecting until the child abuse stops. Evelyn Nissirios has practiced multiple instances of child abduction, child abuse, and child torture with impunity, through abuse of her authority as “guardian ad litem.” By the third time I wrote to the Saddle River School Board president regarding my concerns about Nissirios’ endangerment of children and received no response, I copied the Saddle River School District superintendent, Gina Cinotti, and other Board members to the following letter:

Re: Concerns Regarding Board Member, Evelyn Nissirios
Dear Mr. Peros:
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if I could be of further assistance. This matter needs to be investigated, as the enabling of child abuse through lies and perjury, tampering of evidence, and interference with Child Protection Services investigations are serious offenses for a member on any School Board of Education.
Kind regards,
Bandy X. Lee, M.D., M.Div.

The letter went to: Gina Cinotti; Emily Kaufman; Yasmin Elshami; Elizabeth Salazer; Kaitlyn Lawler; and the Saddle River School District Business Office, along with medical evidence of Evelyn Nissirios’ abuse of children. As noted at the end of the New Jersey Statutes, any person who knowingly violates the statutes on child abuse, including the failure to report an act of child abuse, having reasonable cause to believe that an act of child abuse has been committed, is a chargeable offense. All of the above persons were given evidence of reasonable cause, and yet all failed to investigate or report.

*This is the fourth of a short series of weekly articles devoted to the information I am providing the Saddle River community about a member on its School Board, begun at the request of a local official. Despite the many articles, this is still the tip of the iceberg, and more will be revealed in the upcoming book, Judicial Violence: Anatomy of a Family Court Case. Those who have additional information to share can reach me here. Thank you.
