Two former employees of the city’s Administration for Children’s Services were busted for inputting false information into a state database that tracks child-abuse investigations, authorities said.
Rosana Caceda, 42, allegedly filed a report in September 2008 saying she had visited the home of a child and his mother and spoken with the mother.
However, the mother at the time was incarcerated, investigators found.
During her tenure, Caceda, of Riverdale, was also paid an extra $600 for logging work hours when she wasn’t on the job, the investigators learned.
Meanwhile, Lola Whidbee, 46, claimed in October 2011 that she spoke to an individual regarding an ongoing ACS case.
But investigators discovered the individual received no calls from Whidbee, of Yonkers, and didn’t even know her name, said the city’s Department of Investigation.
Both women were arrested Wednesday.
