Rockland County – Concerns over the safety of three Hispanic siblings have ignited a New York State investigation following a complaint by journalist Richard Luthmann.
On Friday, Luthmann emailed Rockland County Executive Ed Day, Sheriff Louis Falco III, and Rockland County Children’s Services to describe the plight of siblings Mia, 16, Matthew, 16, and Sawyer, 13, who fled to Rockland County for a safe haven from their father, Christopher Ambrose of Connecticut.
Matthew, 16, Sawyer, 13, and Mia, 16.
Luthmann wrote to Rockland officials, “I wanted to alert you to a serious situation involving three children currently residing in Congers, New York, whom I believe are at risk from their psychopath predator father. THE SITUATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE CPS INVESTIGATION.”
Addressing the matter within hours, Matthew Grieco, a Caseworker for Adolescent Services at the Rockland County Department of Social Services, confirmed New York’s Statewide Central Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment (SCR) has registered the complaint.
As of Saturday, October 7, the matter “is currently under review.”
Grecio advised Luthmann that the SCR registry sparks the Rockland County Department of Social Services investigation. Greico added that the “concerning” nature of the allegations seemingly assures a prompt and thorough investigation by state and county authorities to protect these vulnerable teens.
Journalist Richard Luthmann
Luthmann has been covering the Ambrose case in CT Family Court for about a year and alleges severe misconduct by the teens’ father, Christopher Ambrose, a former Hollywood writer.
Through his email, Luthmann painted a haunting picture of the Ambrose siblings and their repeated flights from their father.
The stakes heightened with Luthmann’s claim, where he stated in bold, “CHRISTOPHER AMBROSE MOLESTS HIS CHILDREN.”
Pedo Chris Ambrose
Luthmann claims Ambrose crossed state lines multiple times, attempting to bring his fleeing teens back to Connecticut. He draws a grim parallel, comparing the children’s desperate escape to “runaway slaves in antebellum times.”
In an incident last month, Ambrose brought the Mount Pleasant Police to the home of a family friend, where the teens sought refuge, to try to compel them back to his Madison, CT home.
Mia tells MT Pleasant Police she will not return to her father.
In a recording by the teens, Mia reveals her father’s alleged sexual abuse, telling police she’d “rather be anywhere but there” with her father, reinforcing allegations of her father’s abuse.
Sawyer, 13, reported to Mt. Pleasant Police that his father sexually molested him.
FR broke a story last year detailing a report from the Multi-Disciplinary Task Force at Yale New Haven Hospital containing details of potential sexual abuse.
Dr. Bandy X. Lee, a reputed psychiatrist, revealed recordings she’d obtained that allegedly contained threats from Ambrose to Mia, using sexually explicit language to control and intimidate her for seeking help.
The siblings now live in the hamlet of Congers in Clarkstown, Rockland County, with their mother’s maternal cousin – a respected businessman, wrestling coach, and martial arts instructor. The cousin reportedly is willing to provide a secure home environment.
Despite this potential safety net, Ambrose aggressively tried to regain custody, suggesting the siblings be placed in “brutal juvenile detention centers” rather than the haven of their maternal relative.
The teens’ mother, Karen Riordan, remains restrained from contacting them, courtesy of a one-year restraining order passed by CT Superior Court Judge Thomas J. O’Neill – a troubling development, as Judge O’Neill made this decision without hearing testimony from the teens or any other expert or fact witnesses concerning the alleged abuse.
As Rockland County awaits further developments, one thing remains evident: the fight for the safety and justice of the Ambrose siblings is far from over.
But now, a needed investigation where the voices of three teens, long silenced, frightened, and on the run from their father, may invite law enforcement to finally hear their allegations – something that Ambrose in Connecticut, with his wealth and connections, has successfully silenced.
FR awaits further word on the progress of the Rockland County investigation.

Here is the full text of the email I sent to Rockland County Child Protective Services and nearly everyone else in Rockland County government.
I believe a community has a right to know when a pedo is crossing state lines to “hunt” in your local area. All the Rockland County elected officials are on notice (none of these emails bounced back):

Dear Sirs and Madams:
I wanted to alert you to a serious situation involving three children currently residing in Congers, New York whom I believe are at risk from their psychopath predator father. THE SITUATION REQUIRES IMMEDIATE CPS INVESTIGATION.
The children are Mia Ambrose, 16, Matthew Ambrose, 16, and Sawyer Ambrose, 13. They are all adopted and of Hispanic descent.
The children are now with relatives, but there is fear that they are not safe because their Psychopath and Child Molester father, Christopher Ambrose, is coming for them with no legal authority to do so, and against the laws of God and man, and all common decency. If he takes these children, I believe it is a 100% certainty that they will be sexually abused.
I am a reporter who has been following the story for my outlet (TIFR) and the Frank Report (FR). The children are in imminent harm because Christopher Ambrose has crossed state lines into Rockland County, New York, and attempted to remove the teenagers against their wills back to CT. Ambrose is a pedophile.
I would like to know, journalistically, whether Rockland CPS is aware of the situation and whether a case has been opened and is actively being investigated concerning the Ambrose teenagers. Also, are there measures in place to protect Rockland County children, particularly "Latin Boys" (see below) from Christopher Ambrose?
The story is national news since Robbie Harvey reported on how Christopher Ambrose hoodwinked the Mount Pleasant Police Department into threatening the teenagers that they would be arrested, committed to, and beaten and raped in a New York State Facility (“You will be beaten, raped, and abused on a daily basis.”):
Their father, disgraced Hollywood writer Christopher Ambrose, has crossed state lines and lied to law enforcement, attempting to retrieve the children who first fled from Connecticut to their grandfather's house in Rhode Island for safety. From Rhode Island, they are now residing with relatives in Congers, New York (Rockland County). Like runaway slaves in antebellum times, these CHILDREN flee jurisdiction to jurisdiction in search of safety and hope.
CHRISTOPHER AMBROSE MOLESTS HIS CHILDREN. HE COMES TO ROCKLAND COUNTY, NEW YORK FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF MOLESTING CHILDREN.
Ambrose admits the Multi-Disciplinary Task Force at Yale New Haven Hospital made a report with disturbing sexual sexual abuse disclosures. Ambrose does not deny the information. Frank Parlato initially broke the story about the Yale Report in his investigative reporting.
Since then, overwhelming evidence from filed court documents and credible third parties has emerged regarding Ambrose’s pattern of child molestation.
In a recent recording of an interaction with the Mount Pleasant Police Department, Mia’s voice was firm: “I won’t return to [Christopher Ambrose]. I’d rather be anywhere but there.”
Her trauma is well-documented. Her father abused and molested her, threatening vaginal penetration for so-called “behavioral infractions,” including reporting his abuse to counselors and mental health professionals.
Mia’s statements are corroborated by many law enforcement, legal, and medical professionals.
TIFR obtained and published a June 6, 2023, e-mail from Mia’s attorney, Michael G. Curley, Esq., asking Connecticut DCF officials to release reports that” included allegations against Mia’s father, including a new accusation of penetration.”
TIFR previously published a Connecticut Court Risk Assessment from December 2020, wherein Court Attorney Allison Kass, Esq., determined Christopher Ambrose was HIGH RISK for potential danger to his children.
TIFR published an August 8, 2023, letter to Connecticut Superior Court Judge Thomas J. O’Neill from Dr. Bandy Lee, MD, M.Div., a clinical psychiatrist with over twenty-five years of experience. Not only did Dr. Lee come to the medical conclusion that Christopher Ambrose is a psychopath, but she also reported serious allegations of child molestation to the Connecticut Courts.
Dr. Lee also filed a Report of Suspected Child Abuse or Neglect for each of the Ambrose children. Her statements are unequivocal:
I have heard recordings of Mr. Ambrose’s threatening the daughter with vaginal penetration as punishment for minor misbehavior. All three children have reliably reported sexual abuse, and no one has believed them, frankly, because the father is so threatening, he has intimidated all witnesses (he has already been threatening to me, which I had to report to local police). The 12 (now 13)-year-old recently reported anal penetration.
We previously published statements from NYC Private Investigator Manuel Gomez.
He minces no words: “Mr. Ambrose molests his children,” and he told this to the FBI and US Attorney for the Western District of New York in a letter dated May 29, 2023.
All Ambrose children have filed Juvenile Court complaints in Connecticut alleging abuse, including sexual molestation, by their adoptive father, Christopher Ambrose.
The statements of professionals overwhelmingly corroborate the serious allegations of Christopher Ambrose’s child molestation. They have filed court documents and the statements and credible reports of the Ambrose teenagers.
Ambrose has travelled to Rockland County and told the children he will bring them back to his den of iniquity in Madison, Connecticut, where underage drinking, drugs use, and sex (statutory rape) regularly occurs. Or else, he said, the will go to foster care where they will be abused and raped.
Ambrose is a SUSPENDED New York Attorney. On September 20, 2023, in addition to instigating the baseless threats by the Mount Pleasant, NY Police, he also ensured a home in Rockland, New York, was “raided” by an inter-jurisdictional task force of local police, State Police, and FBI Agents, based on false information. No Order has been signed by a New York State Supreme Court Justice or Family Court Judge.
There is evidence Ambrose is involved with child pornography and has a sick fetish for underage Latin boys:
Below are the entries of sites he was on acquired in a journalistic/newsgathering capacity. The words indicate "boys" bois boyz boi etc.
I have enclosed some materials showing Christopher Ambrose's dangerousness:
December 15, 2020 - CT Court Report showing Ambrose as "HIGH RISK" for dangerousness.
Email dated June 6, 2023 between Attorney Michael G. Curley of Murtha Cullina, LLP, and Nancy Stewart, Kelly Burke, and Michelle Peterson of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF). In this email, there is a reference to “a new allegation of penetration.”
Report dated May 29, 2023, from Private Investigator Manuel Gomez to WDNY US Attorney Trini Ross’s Office and the FBI Office-Buffalo detailing molestation by Christopher Ambrose. PI Gomez describes the video evidence he transmitted to the authorities and has in his possession. Report dated May 3, 2023, from Bandy Lee, MD, MDiv, warning of Christopher Ambrose’s dangerousness where his children are involved.
Signed statement dated May 29, 2023, of Mia Ambrose detailing Christopher Ambrose’s physically and emotionally abusive activity and improper touching. The statement corroborates the presence of men over the age of 18 (some in their 20s) with children aged 14 and 15 for “overnight” stays where there is underage drug, alcohol use, and sex.
Plenty of additional information is in the public record showing Ambrose's danger. Particularly, investigative journalist Frank Parlato has covered this case for years. Damning information about Ambrose is contained in the Frank Report coverage.
Here are recent pictures of the children:
Let me know if I can be of any further help.
Please help these children. Christopher Ambrose is a monster.

The news media is a critical check on the powerful, serving as a watchdog to hold elected officials and other public figures accountable for their actions. The media was first called the Fourth Estate in 1821 by Edmund Burke, who wanted to point out the power of the press. The press plays a crucial role in providing citizens with access to information about what is happening in government and by shining a light on corruption, abuse of power, and other forms of wrongdoing.
This dark underground sexual cult where they don’t care about any child not even their own stems from the Probate Court System . It’s used as an instrument to silence and perpetuate the abuse .
