ACS workers like to bully parents into attending what they call a Family Safety Conference. Attorneys who represent these parents are not allowed as per ACS policy. So, in a society where the right to counsel is omnipresent, ACS is so fearful of being exposed that they try to hide what they do from as many people as possible. As an attorney I have met with the FBI, NYPD, DEA, DOI and dozens of other state, federal and city agencies on behalf of clients. However, ACS workers have devised a system where they want to abuse parents in private without the benefit of an attorney to guide them.
The Family Safety Conference is simply an ambush conducted by the ACS worker and their supervisors where they accuse the parents of wrongdoing and then demand that parents follow the ACS orders. This is all without any type of Court supervision. Lastly, many judges are surprised to learn that attorneys are not allowed to attend these conferences. It is a shameful tactic and the next ACS Commissioner should end this bullying practice.
