ACS workers will often demand to speak to the children alone outside the presence of the parents. This is a common request by aggressive ACS workers. If a parent does not comply, the ACS worker will go to court and ask a judge for an order directing the parents to do so. Unfortunately, we are seeing this tactic more and more. It is also true that the vast majority of Family Court judges will rubber stamp most ACS requests. It is difficult to find a truly independent Family Court judge. Most live in fear of ACS, Thus granting any motion ACS brings before them. If you are a parent facing such an issues, contact an attorney immediately. You must address these issues in court and make the judge aware what ACS workers have been doing.
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
