Under New York Law parent can go to court and obtain a Persons In Need Of Supervision warrant from a judge. This is usually done by parents who have an out of control teenager and want help from the police in locating them. Once this is filed, this is fertile ground for ACS to attack parents. ACS worker will interview the child and most of the time the child will say horrible things about the parent. ACS will then take this information and accuse the parent of abuse. This is a way to build up the ACS case load and keep the ACS money train moving. So a parent who goes to the courts seeking help, will often find themselves the target of ACS attacks. This is a very dangerous situation for the parent because the child will quickly recognize that they have power over the parent, and will be emboldened to act out even more.
We are often asked by parents; how do I file a complaint against the abusive ACS worker. The first thing we advise is not to file an complaints with anyone at ACS. ACS supervisors are there to protect their paychecks and their jobs. They will usually stone wall the parent into giving up. The goal of the ACS supervisors is to ensure that the parents follow the demands of ACS. Also, we do not suggest filing a complaint with any local political office. ACS is so dysfunctional that they are immune to any political pressure of any kind. Mayor Deblasio has failed to correct the problems at ACS and the agency is simply on cruise control with no one in control. The most effective way to file a complaint against an ACS worker is to file suit in federal court. This will get the workers attention and take them out of their comfort zone. We urge parents to obtain an attorney as fast as possible and begin the process of a lawsuit. The federal courts are a neutral place for parents to bring
