On of the tactics that ACS workers use is in every case, no matter what the allegations, the ACS worker will demand the parent take a drug test. This is simply part of the ACS check list. Often they will ask for a hair follicle test, which can go back as far as a year. If a test is positive for anything, the ACS worker will demand that the parent enter a ACS funded drug program. These highly ineffective programs are contracted by ACS to a third party and are a large part of the ACS budget. This year's ACS budget is $2.7 billion and it must be spent on making "better parents" through questionable services that have no proven effect. If an ACS worker asked you to take a drug test, contact our hotline at 917-519-8417.
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
