THE FRUSTRATION OF A PARENT TRYING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST AN ACS WORKER

The most amount of calls that our office receives is from parents who want to file a complaint against the ACS worker. The ACS Advocates Office website claims to help parents, they can be found here.

The website actually informs parents of what they will NOT do: Once a parent contacts the office, a recorded message tells them to contact the ACS worker's supervisor. Thus, all parents get from ACS is a recording telling them to call ACS. This is the dysfunction that permeates this entire agency.


Understand that the Office of Advocacy cannot

  • Challenge or attempt to influence a Judge’s decision in your case
  • Conduct our own investigation of an active Child Protective case
If the Office of Advocacy cannot help you directly, we will direct you to people who can help.  "

Thus, if you have an abusive and rude ACS worker, this office will not help you. In fact, this Office which is supposed to help parents tells them to go speak to an attorney.

What to do if you feel your rights are not being respected

You have the right to be heard! You can:
  • Talk to your ACS caseworker, your foster care caseworker or social worker.
  • You can also contact the ACS Office of Advocacy and make a complaint.
  • You have a right to your own lawyer and talk to your lawyer in private. Your lawyer can tell the judge what you think, feel and want.

This is simply ACS trying to pass the buck once more and not be held accountable. The truth of the matter, once an ACS worker makes a decision about your case, NO ONE in ACS will help the parent in any way. In ACS wold, parents are presumed bad and must be punished in some way.

The only way to hold an ACS worker responsible is to have your attorney make a legal motion to the Judge in your case and hope that the Judge will listen to your concerns. ACS workers and supervisors work hard to protect themselves against parents and they simply cannot police themselves. The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC is here to help, call our hotline at 917-519-8417 and fight back.

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
