WHO DO YOU FILE A COMPLAINT TO ABOUT AN ACS WORKER?

 One of the most common questions about ACS is , how di file a complaint about my worker? Unfortunately, ACS has designed a system to protect its workers and themselves. The ACS website tells you to call their complaint number. When you call you will be directed to the worker's supervisor. The supervisor will then simply defend the worker. We suggest suing ACS if they have harmed your family. SUEACS.COM BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM NEWYORKACSLAWYER.COM

THE DANGER OF THE ACS HOME VISITS

 The bulk of the street level work that ACS does is the home visit. ACS workers take this opportunity to attack the parents in any ay that they can. Initially the ACS worker will demand that the parents not record them. They will actually give you orders in your own home. Do not allow them to do this. If you have been contacted by ACS, contact our hotline at      917-519-8417 Do not speak to an acs worker without an attorney!! brooklynacslawyer.com queensacslawyer.com bronxacslawyer.com statenislandacslawyer.com sueacs.com

  ACS Lawyer Announces Lawsuit Against ACS On Behalf of Innocent Mother The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC Announced Today A Lawsuit Filed Against ACS by The Firm On Behalf Of An Innocent Mother. By: LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL DISCIOARRO BRONX, N.Y.  -  June 8, 2022  -  PRLog  -- "These facts are so outrageous they need to be judged by a jury." Mr. Discioarro said. In  new lawsuit in the case of  X.J v ACS ,  ACS  filed a petition of neglect against and innocent mother, removed her child who had special needs, only to dismiss the case three days after it was filed. "this is an incredible abuse of power, the worst I have seen in a while." Mr. Discioarro said. The mother was completely blindsided by the removal of the child into foster care and fought every step of the way to get the child back. ACS and other child protective agencies receive state and federal funding for each child removed. Thus, the more children they remove, the more job security these agenc

THE TRAP OF COURT MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATIONS

 New York City's Family Court have an office in the building called Mental Health Services. Among other things, these services conduct mental health evaluations for parents accused by ACS. Their is no fee for the parents and ACS easily convinces parents to subject themselves to these evaluations. DO NOT DO IT. parents should obtain their own mental health evaluation done by a licensed private professional not connected to ACS. Parents should never accept any services by ACS. ACS funds these agencies to the tune of millions of dollars a year. Thus, they are beholden to ACS and do not have the parent's interest in mind.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS TEXT THE ACS WORKER

 ACS workers do not like to documents their actions The reason is simple. Not documenting allows them to deny facts in court. If you are dealing with an ACS worker, ALWAYS text or email them and save their responses. This allows you to have a record for court and denied them the opportunity to manufacture events that  did not occur. This is a way to protect yourself against an unscrupulous ACS worker.

HOW THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WEAPONIZES ACS

 The NYC Department of Education is responsible for 1 million children. It is a high bureucratic and dysfunctional agency. Much like ACS. The DOE has learned that they can use ACS to attack parents in order to block parents from criticizing the DOE. This is usually done when a parent inquires about the proper education of their child. The staff will call ACS and accuse the parent of abuse so as to blunt the parent's criticism of the agency. This can be devastating to parents who are only seeking the best education of their child. This practice needs to end and parents should be supported by the DOE not attacked. MANHATTANACSATTORNEY.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM NYCACSLAWYER.COM

WHY DRUG TESTS ARE SO IMPORTANT TO ACS

 ACS workers will demand that parents obtain drug tests at ACS facilities. These are contracted by ACS to give parents drug tests. Why are drug tests so important to ACS? These tests, even marijuana are used to push parents into useless drug programs funded by ACS. The two goals of ACS is to either remove the children if they can or if that is not possible, they want to place parents into useless programs and parenting classes. The reason is simple. FUNDING!. ACS has to justify its budget to the City Council and the Mayor. They must make it appear that they are "helping" New York City's families. In reality, they baselessly attack parents who have done nothing wrong. This is all done to protect their $2.9 billion budget.

THE REASON WHY SOME FAMILY COURT JUDGES FEAR ACS

 In the Family Court of New York, the Judge rules all. While criminal defendants and civil litigants received jury trial, parents who may lose their children have no such right. This is an injustice that must be corrected. In the interim, we will discuss why some Family Court judges are mere rubber stamps for ACS. ACS has a $3 billion dollar budget that must be fed. The ACS agenda includes intimidating judges who they can target. The tactic is simple. They make many baseless allegations against parents and prop up the implied threat to the Judge that if the Judge does not remove the children they will be harmed and the Judge will be on the front cover of The Post.  This is a powerful intimidation tool. Unfortunately, many judges throughout the city and state bow down to the demands of ACS. It is politically safer for a Judge to side with ACS than a parent in most cases. In addition, most parents in the ACS system cannot afford private attorney who can fight for them. They are left with

ACS WORKERS DEMAND THAT PARENTS TAKE CHILDREN TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEN STICK THE PARENTS WITH THE BILL

  ACS workers went into a parents Homs, demand that the parent take the child to the hospital to be " cleared" and then when the bill came. The ACS worker refused to call the parent back. This is what ACS workers do to parents.

HOW ACS WORKERS LIE TO PARENTS ABOUT DRUG TESTS

 One of the favorite tactics of ACS workers is to demand that parents take a drug test. This is done without a court order or any facts that support that the parent uses illegal drugs. All ACS workers require to demand a drug test is an anonymous accusation by anyone against the parent. If a parent passes the test the ACS worker will hide it and still demand that the parent enter into parenting classes. If the parent fails the test the ACS worker will threaten the parents with "court action" and demand to have a meeting to address all of the parents "needs". ACS workers are not here to protect the children. The cases of Nixmary Brown and Zyemere Perkins make that clear. They are simply here to attack parents and justify the $2.9 billion dollar budget the city gives them. If ACS does not have "customers" they lose funding.

ACS LIES AGAIN AND LOSES, JUDGE RULES AGAINST ACS

  Judge Rules Against ACS in Brooklyn, Returns Children to the Father The Hon. Hana Gruebel, Family Court Judge in Brooklyn, Rules that ACS Must Allow Father To See His Chidlren, By: michaeld500@hotmail.com BROOKLYN, N.Y. & MANHATTAN, N.Y.  -  April 21, 2022  -  PRLog  -- The Case of ACS v. P.H. docket # NA- 03931-22 could have been a sad ending. ACS alleged that the father abused his children by disciplining them and refused to allow the father of four to see his children. The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC filed a motion and a hearing was held before the Hon. Hana Gruebel on Brooklyn Family Court. The Court heard all of the testimony , ruled against ACS and allowed the father to see his four children who desperately wanted to see him. " We are thankful to the thoughtful Judge who saw my client as the loving father he is." Mr. Discioarro said. ACS routinely attacks parents in Court without any justification and the children suffer. Each day ACS workers begin i

THE UNTRUTH OF THE "PARENT ADVOCATE"

 ACS has a policy of not allowing parent's attorneys into child safety conferences. Instead , they use a ruse whereby ACS appoints a " parent advocate" to be in the conference to support the parents. This is a complete fiction. The advocate is not an attorney, cannot give legal advice and is paid by ACS. The sis merely another tactic where ACS tries to manipulate the parents into giving them information. Also, these conferences are not recorded in any way other than what the ACS worker wants to write. Demand an attorney. Stand up for your rights.

NEW ACS DEFENSE WEBSITE FOR PARENTS

The most important thing is not to speak to the ACS worker and contact an attorney as soon as poss

ACS WORKERS REMOVE PARENTS FROM THE HOME WITHOUT COURT ORDERS

 One of the most insidious acts of an ACS worker is to order a parent to leave the home without a Court order. The Family Court ACT gives that power only to judges. This does to stop an ACS worker from coming in and ordering that a parent leave the home. If you are facing an ACS vision, contact us at 917-519-8417 . Stand up for your parental rights.

CAN THE ACS WORKER GO TO SPEAK TO MY CHILD AT SCHOOL?

 One of the most shocking things that ACS workers subject parents to is going to the child's school and speaking to the child without the parents present. This is an end run around the Family Court Act and a way for ACS workers to skirt the law. The sad fact is that the NYC DOE is equally as dysfunctional and will side with ACS. NYC public schools allow the ACS worker to speak to any child at any time without the parent present. This is difficult to defend against because the parents are not present and the school will not notify the parents that ACS came. Advise your children not to speak to strangers in any context even in school setting without you present.  IF ACS CALLS YOU, YOU CALL US! 24 HOUR HOTLINE 917-519-8417 NYCACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM QUEENSACSLAWYER.COM BRONXACSLAWYER.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM

WHAT HAPPENS AT AN ACS CHILD SAFETY CONFERENCE

 Once ACS starts an investigation against parents, they often call the parents into a child safety conference. This isa process where ACS can deeply interrogate the parents and try and manufacture a case against them. ACS will have the ACS worker their with their supervisors and a person who will call themselves a "facilitator". They may also have a parent "advocate" present. Attorneys are NOT allowed to attend as per ACS policy. Even of the parents hire one before the conference. Once the conference starts, the ACS worker will begin by discussing the ACS "concerns". The parent will then be asked to give their side of the story. This is an opportunity for ACS to dig into the parents lives and try and manufacture charges against them. There is fair amount of "good cop, bad cop" with one ACS worker being the good cop and the supervisor usually plays a bad cop. the conferences usually last 2- 3 hours and this is the time ACS can put a lot of pressur

ACS ONCE AGAIN FAILS CHILDREN BY NOT STOPPING SEX TRAFFICKING IN FOSTER HOME THEY APPROVED

In an incredible story by The NY Times, ACS failed to protect kids in a foster home while they were being sex trafficked. This is another shocking example of how ACS fails to protect children. Read the article HERE.  The foster care agency called Little Flower makes millions of dollars through its ACS contract with no  supervision.

DO NOT SPEAK TO ACS WORKERS WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY

 A very common question is, do I have to speak with ACS workers. There is noting the Family Court Act that mandates that. ACS workers will demand that they speak to them without an attorney. Under New York Law, you have the right to an attorney. The reason are many. To begin with , ACS workers do not record any conversations, this allows them to lie about what the parents have said. Next, ACS workers do not inform parents of the allegations, they merely dig until they believe they found something to use against the parents. The goal of ACS is to remove children and place parents in useless services. Stand on your rights as a parent.

AT A HEARING BEFORE LEGISLATORS, ACS OBJECTS TO ACS WORKERS ADVISING PARENTS OF THEIR RIGHTS

  The Administration for Children’s Services has objected to the legislation requiring child protection investigators to read parents their rights during an initial home visit, similar to the Miranda rights police must inform people of when they’re arrested. City leaders have also objected to telling parents they have the right to refuse investigators entry into their homes without a court order, arguing that state social service law requires agencies to first confirm a child’s safety, before providing parents information about their rights.
