Mr. Sussman also commented on rumors that “documents and files are being shredded and destroyed” at the Department of Family Services. “We have heard the rumors but I have not yet substantiated them.” However, he called on DFS employees to “not be a party to any destruction of files. If you are being directed to destroy ‘stale files,’ document the direction you were given and the person who gave you the direction. Report it. Those ‘stale files’ are now evidence.”
