A Long Island grand jury report into the freezing death of Thomas Valva, the 8-year-old son for ex-NYPD cop Michael Valva, said the child protective system kept years of abuse under wraps.
Thomas Valva froze to death in his family's Long Island garage. His father Michael Valva was just sentenced after being found guilty of murder. Here's the case.
Brother Thomas and Anthony Valva spent 16 hours in a garage with no heat on a night when temperatures outside dropped to 19 degrees and defense said it was.
