The Family Court Act is the New York Law that governs Family Courts in New York state. A simple reading of this law, will show you how much power family court judges have in the state. They, and only they, decide what happens to your children. With that understanding, ACS workers and lawyers have a keen understanding of each judge and will craft their case accordingly. In criminal and civil courts, the juries have the ultimate say. There is no reason why parents do not deserve juries in Family Court to judge them if they have neglected their child We recently had one ACS lawyer tell us that Family Court is not " punitive'. This is simply an outrageous remark. What could be more punitive than losing your child? Family Court proceedings are hidden from the light of the public because no juries are allowed. Parents are abused by an ACS bureaucracy that is concerned only with its self-preservation. It is time for juries in Family Court ACS cases.
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
