EXCLUSIVE: Oliver Arrindell said he had enough with SZV.

~ Claims Dennoui attacked him first while refusing to respond to his letters ~

oliverarrindell23112017PHILIPSBURG:--- Father of Baby Pilanco Oliver Vincent Arrindell told SMN News in an exclusive interview on Thursday that he has had enough with SZV and its employees whom he said is refusing to grant his disabled infant proper care.
Arrindell has been in this predicament since the birth of his son in April 2015. He said that his child is supposed to be undergoing therapy in order for him to live a normal life but since November 2016 his son has not gotten one therapy treatment.
Arrindell said that he was sent to the Netherlands earlier this year and his son did not receive any treatment. He said SZV left him with his wife and son in a hotel room for two long months without proper food for his infant son. “I had to walk very long distances to obtain food for me and my sick son. SZV refused to put me in an apartment, they wanted me to sign out of St. Maarten so the Dutch government would have to shoulder the medical expenses for my son. I am a civil servant working for the Government of St. Maarten and SZV including the Minister of VSA wanted me to sign out here I could lose my job. Can you imagine Minister Lee promised to send my son back to the Netherlands if I sign out of St. Maarten, the Minister told me he would ensure that I am paid two years of my salary and when I told the Minister to send the proposal to my lawyer Shaira Bommel he refused. When I contacted SMN News while in the Netherlands SZV put me in an apartment for one month after that I was brought back to St. Maarten since SZV claimed the child could receive the therapy on St. Maarten.”
Arrindell said that ever since he returned to St. Maarten SZV did not make arrangements for his child to obtain proper care, he explained that he went to every therapeutic clinic on the island and they all told him that they do not provide such care for infants or toddlers under the age of 5. The doctor at SMMC he said told him that SZV wants him to help them destroy the life of a young child by placing the child in the care of the White and Yellow Cross, but the doctor he said told him he will not do that to a young child who could live a normal life if given proper care. Arrindell further explained that his lawyer and doctors wrote several letters to SZV and to date he has not gotten a response from the Social Insurance Bank. Arrindell further explained that he has letters from the Netherlands, Colombia and the Dominican Republic, where they are calling for his child to be seen by the doctors there but SZV chose to ignore him and his child.
When asked about Thursday morning, Arrindell said he saw his child suffering and he decided to go to SZV since they are not responding to his lawyers, he said upon reaching SZV with his child the security guard told him that SZV will open their office at 10:30, Arrindell said he jumped over a counter at SZV and sat on a chair waiting for SZV personnel and it was while sitting there he heard Dennoui screaming and asking what he is doing inside SZV and who he was, he further claimed that when Dennoui approached him he did not hit him but instead tore his clothing up. He admitted that another SZV personnel was choking him and he hit that person who also chose to kick him several times while he was pinned to the ground by a security guard.
Arrindell further explained that the insurance company for SMMC “Bezoekadres” has been in contact with him and they were supposed to compensate him for the damages caused to his son while his wife was giving birth at SMMC but the insurance company he said was supposed to get back to his lawyer in August 2017, he said they asked for an extra month and to date his lawyer and him did not hear from SMMC insurance company.
Arrindell made clear that the only thing he wants is for his son to receive proper care so he could live a normal life like every other child.
