For Those Who Do Not Remember The Past….
One of my favorite sayings that applies in so many areas in our lives is “Those Who Do Not Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It.” I have seen the application of this saying many times over the years…and unfortunately Cayuga County, NY has failed to remember its past of the last 25 years. This year is the 25th anniversary of the death of Daniel Leubner – an autistic child who died on September 4, 1999. An Autism Memorial for Daniel Leubner can be found here: https://disability-memorial.org/daniel-leubner.
This is a very interesting case that is just applicable today to Cayuga County, NY as it was 25 years ago…because the same legal system that allowed this injustice to occur is working in full force today. Literally...a number of the same legal professionals involved in that case…using the same type of legal tactics…continues to be practiced within Cayuga County, NY...today. All you need to do is just read the Cayuga County News and other webpages and start putting the pieces together yourself.
Last year a former Wells College Campus Safety Sergeant – David A. Hewitt – was arrested by New York State Police after he allegedly sexually assaulted a teenager for the last four years. I am familiar with this story because I lived next door to David Hewitt on Poplar Ridge Road in Aurora, NY. I was home at the time when the New York State Troopers showed up at David’s house to arrest him. However, I was inside working in the basement and was not paying close attention...because there was always lots of activity and parties happening next door and across the street as the Southern Cayuga County Central School District practice fields are located there. David spent the rest of that year going about his business as usual, including hosting BBQs and parties in his backyard…especially when events were being held across the street in the practice fields. At the end of December 2023, David was found dead, however, to my knowledge, no further information has been released on the cause or circumstances around his death.
For any energetic and enthusiastic lawyers and investigative reporters out there…in addition to reviewing the David A. Hewitt story, you should also check out the website that Leroy Leubner set up for his son Daniel:

From that website…just keep following Cayuga County News, webpages, and other news sources related to these cases...and as always….follow the money…there is quite a Story there that has yet to be fully disclosed....
In addition to what you will find in those pieces of this puzzle, don’t forget to pay attention to some of the other groups and organizations who have been knowingly or unknowingly supporting this type of organized system. A number of those supporting groups and organizations have been informed of this very disturbing situation in Cayuga County, NY for years…but have chosen not to listen or simply just to ignore...and so the cycle continues and more pain and suffering results for many, many people and their families. I have been doing my part to get these groups and organizations to listen and take some ACTION regarding this situation…but so far…silence...no action...and further support to hide the truth of what is going on in Cayuga County, NY.
