Teen accused of giving pills to minors at Farrall Park

By Howard B. Owens

UPDATED 11:20 p.m.

A Batavia High School student has been arrested, accused of giving an unknown type of pill to minors at Farrall Park on May 28, reportedly making the minors ill.

Charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child is Ryan F. DiMartino, 16, of 8821 Rollin Circle, Batavia.

DiMartino was arrested by Batavia PD Officer James DeFreze, who said in a news release that DiMartino was arrested following a  "lengthy investigation."

While police can't release the age of the alleged victims, DeFreze said in an interview that the minors were younger than DiMartino.

Though the alleged victims became ill, they did not require medical treatment, DeFreze said.

Following arraignment in Batavia City Court, DiMartino was released and scheduled to reappear on July 12.

How many times does this kid have to get in trouble before something is done? I feel bad for his parents, but it's time to take more drastic action.

I think maybe it is time for family services get involved and remove him from the home and get this menace off the street, It os clear his parents have not control and he needs to be stopped before he hurts someone
