THE ACS SCRIPT IN FAMILY COURT

Once a case has been filed against a parent in Family Court, ACS follows a usual script to get the parents to admit to some wrong-doing. First, they will charge the parents with any "fact" they can get any one to accuse the parents of. To ACS, the accusation is the evidence. Then, ACS will demand that parents complete "services" while the case is pending. In the vast majority of cases, the parents are not advised that these "services" are voluntary and need not be done in order for the case to go forward. However, due to the shock of being dragged before a judge and accused of child abuse, parents will usually do ANYTHING in order to prove to everyone that they are good parents.
At no point is ACS ever challenged to prove their case in point. In one recent victory, the ACS worker admitted under oath that she "never" reviewed the parents medical records in a case where they would be very important.
After about a year of court proceedings, ACS counts on the parent to be worn down and willing to accept any "deal" that ACS puts forth. ACS will usually state that the parents have been doing services thus they should be give this "deal". Having discussed how dysfunctional ACS is, it is important to challenge them at every step. Make them prove their case in court with evidence. Many court appointed lawyers simply tell their clients to comply, thus never challenging any ACS allegations.brooklynacslawyer.com

HOW TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST ACS

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

THE ACS DRUG TEST GAME

As we have discussed, anyone with a phone can call ACS on anyone else. ACS does not investigate who calls. they simply go and attack the parent. One of the most common calls to ACS is that a parent is using "drugs". The ACS worker will then go to the home and demand that the parent take a drug test. This is a trap. The way ACS uses drug tests is as follows. If they are positive, even for marijuana, they will demand that the parent enter into a drug program. If they are negative, they will hide the results and harass the parent until the parent enters a drug program. For ACS , the accusation is the proof of the case. The ACS workers are very poorly trained, badly educated, and extremely arrogant. It is very difficult for parents to deal with them because they are so unprofessional and the parents are not prepared for this. Many ACS workers we have spoke to will not even give us their business cards or full names. In fact, letters that parents receive from ACS only have the wor

THE STEPS OF AN ACS CASE

 In this post we will discuss in depth all of the steps of an ACS case. 1. INVESTIGATION - The case starts with a call being made to ACS or the child abuse hotline that a child is being abused or neglected. It is important to remember that anyone can call on anyone for anything. This will result in an ACS worker coming to your doorstep. This may happen at any time of the day or night. Once they arrive ACS workers look for any reason to create a case against the parents. Even if the case is baseless, the ACS worker will dig into your family until they find something they feel they can use to file charges against your family. This investigation can go on for months. DO NOT SPEAK TO ACS WORKERS WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY. 2. CHILD SAFETY CONFERENCE: This is the legal equivalent of being attacked by a gang The parents are ordered to come to an ACS office where they will be facing ACS workers and supervisors. The ACS workers will be attacking them and not listening to anything that the parents ma
