Overview
- The 35-year-old was charged in Monmouth County with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child by a caretaker and two counts of simple assault.
- Investigators say the Nov. 9 incident at a Neptune City home was recorded, leading DCP&P to alert the county prosecutor on Nov. 20 before a police arrest the next day.
- Affidavits allege he pulled a resource child from bed, struck the child across the face multiple times, and shoved the child into a wall.
- Garden State Equality said it placed him on leave upon learning of the charge, then removed his bio as he resigned after nearly a decade in the role.
- Fuscarino and his attorney describe the episode as a private family matter and say everyone is safe, with a court appearance expected next month.
