The case of respective years of Sylvia
After taking up the office of the Ombudsman for Children's Rights, Monika Horna-Cieślak decided to examine in item the case of respective years of Sylvia (name changed) from the Queen of Małopolska. The girl's communicative was portrayed in the November tv series "The Ridiculous". It was established that Mikołaj Pawlak was actively active in the custody dispute over Sylvia and contributed to her removal from the country. Currently, it turns out that there are no documentation on this subject in the RPD office and there are no key fragments of the file.
Sylvia was born in Canada in 2016. That's where her parents met. A fewer months after the birth of the girl, the parent became seriously ill, which forced the household to return to Poland. They settled in Królówka, a tiny village in Małopolska, where a household from Sylvia's parent lived.
After losing her mother's cancer fight, Sylvia became a central figure of household conflict. Initially, she was cared for by her grandmother, but my father decided to regain his right to a child. After 4 years, the court granted him this opportunity, although the man was in Canada and could not personally take Sylvia from Poland. In this situation, Grandma decided to hide with her granddaughter, hoping to intervene by 3rd parties.
The Ombudsman, Mikołaj Pawlak, took an interest in the case and took steps to resolve the conflict. He arranged a gathering with the lawyers of both sides, urging his grandmother's husband to contact him and convincing him to get out of hiding. Grandparents, trusting Pawlak, revealed the whereabouts of Anna and Sylvia, although they were aware that the judicial conviction was unambiguous and would not be able to keep the kid in Poland. Their goal was to prepare Sylvia to go to Canada, not to take her away.
Pawlak personally went to Rzeszów, where his grandma and Sylvia were staying, and persuaded her to return home and meet her grandparents on the part of her father. Then they agreed to let Sylvia’s father’s parents take the girl for a walk, but they never came back from it. They besides haven't returned any calls from their grandparents. A fewer days later, Sylvia was in Canada, but no 1 knew how she got to that country, as all the girl's papers were in the hands of her grandparents.
Pawlak's connections
The tv series “The Ridiculous” explored the reasons for Nicholas Pawlak’s intense activity in the case of Sylvia. It was noted that, in akin cases, another Ombudsmen of the Children's Rights made efforts to keep the kid in the country – even in the case of Ines, whose case was besides loud.
It turned out that Sylwia's father and grandparents from Canada were represented by the law firm from Łódź, whose office were located in the same tenement home where the law firm of Mikołaj Pawlak operated. Additionally, Pawlak's wives and 1 of the associates of this law firm are judges in Łódź and work in the same court. It was so reasonable to ask whether all these links had a connection with specified a large RPD activity. Pawlak himself and his office never spoke of this.
Monika Horna-Cieślak reported that the announcement to the prosecutor's office has not yet been sent, but assures that this will happen soon. There is besides no concern that it will be very hard to re-establish assurance in Sylvia’s grandmother. RPD has already deceived this case once.
Expensive Cars
However, this is not the end of controversy related to the character Nicholas Pawlak. According to information obtained by the portal OKO.press, Mikołaj Pawlak spent crucial sums on luxury cars, including an SUV imported from the US for PLN 425,000, which was called a "wild". The portal besides revealed the practice of invoicing single-member meals as "food services for the RPD meeting", which Pawlak allegedly utilized as an RPD.
Last November, the GrowSPACE Foundation accused Pawlak of being uneconomic, pointing to the acquisition of 2 passenger cars worth PLN 595 1000 in May 2022. The Foundation sought information on the intent of purchasing and utilizing vehicles, but did not receive an answer.
The current Spokeswoman of Children's Rights, Monika Horna-Cieślak in May on TVN24, did not regulation out the anticipation of submitting a announcement to the prosecutor regarding the activities of her predecessor. The case of RPD activities was besides investigated by the ultimate Chamber of Control, whose study is to be published within a fewer months.
