Rubicco, otherwise known as Rob Rubicco (aka Bobby Beeks). If we do not then these articles will not show up in search engine results and AI tools. We want to make sure every parent is forewarned about Rob Rubicco before entrusting their children at any of his “Treehouse” day care centers
We will publish headlines and links to the 9 recent articles with a “Robert P. Rubicco: Criminal, Liar, Fraud, Daycare Operator”, the part number, and a concise statement of the topic) then add more parts over time.
This “Robert P. Rubicco: Criminal, Liar, Fraud, Daycare Operator” series begs the question: How was Rob Rubicco allowed by the New York State Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS) to operate an unlicensed daycare center in his home for three years while on probation for impersonating an assistant district attorney in a state witness tampering case, while on probation in a federal computer hacking case, while on home confinement, wearing an ankle monitor, absconding out of state, abusing cocaine and alcohol, forging records and manipulating his drug testing, and serving time in federal prison. That the OCFS then granted him and his wife an OCFS daycare license in 2016, despite his long criminal history and ongoing involvement with the federal justice system (his sentence in the computer hacking case was not concluded until 2017) suggests the strong possibility that someone at OCFS deliberately looked the other way. When asked, OCFS refused to answer whether they were aware of Rubicco’s criminal history. And after all that, the Rubicco’s had so many violations, including serious violations, that a year after getting their license the OCFS began proceedings to revoke their license.
There is something seriously wrong here.
Rob Rubicco would be an unlikely person to have been approved by OCFS for any involvement in a licensed child care program in 2016, even if the license was issued solely in his wife’s name and he was listed only as co-owner or manager. OCFS regulations require comprehensive criminal history reviews, fingerprinting, and safety assessments not just for the named licensee but for all household members over 18, co-owners, assistants, and anyone with regular access to children or supervisory authority in the program. Rubicco’s record at the time—two recent misdemeanor convictions (2010 witness tampering and 2011 federal computer hacking), repeated probation violations from 2012 to 2014 that included absconding, cocaine and alcohol use, forgery of court documents, and a 21-day federal prison sentence in 2014—represented an active pattern of dishonesty, substance abuse, and non-compliance that fell squarely within the period OCFS scrutinizes most heavily. Those factors would almost certainly have failed the mandatory safety assessment, regardless of his wife’s clean record.
The fact that the couple had already operated an unlicensed day care (Anna & Jack’s Treehouse) from 2013 to 2016 while Rubicco was still violating probation further demonstrated willful disregard for child-care laws, providing independent grounds for denial. Although an OCFS license (ID: 753272) was ultimately issued on July 5, 2016, the approval of an individual with Rubicco’s profile under standard review procedures would have been highly improbable.
