Administrators at Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore issued an alert to parents advising of an ongoing investigation regarding Zev Steen, who apparently has a child enrolled in the school, was charged with possessing and distributing child pornography. They said that Steen was “terminated immediately."
Steen's LinkedIn profile says he's the CEO of MirageID, an identity tracking company. He is also heavily involved in TAG (Technology Awareness Group) Baltimore, which "provides free guidance on choosing devices, step-by-step filter installs, and live tech support 20 hours a day," its website says. TAG announced that they terminated Steen on Nov. 8 but did not provide a reason.
Educators addressed students in the 8th through 12th grades and discussed certain specific points, affirming that the administration is complying with the administration.
“We are horrified and saddened to have to write and share this letter,” school officials said. “It is important to recognize that this traumatic experience presents an opportunity to have a conversation with your child about personal safety.
“We will continue to communicate with you, our parents, and our partners, as necessary.” The investigation into Steen is ongoing.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact Baltimore Police Sgt. William Currie by calling (443) 938-0466.
There will also be a ZOOM meeting for parents at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10 with a “veteran traumatologist (who) has worked in the field for over two decades.”
“Mrs. Farbman will guide parents and staff members on how to communicate with our daughters and students about this confusing and difficult situation and how to support them during this challenging time.”
