ACS accuses parents in two different legal ways. One is in Family Court, where they can actually take away the child. The other is at OCFS.This is a state agency that does hearings on whether a parent should be indicated for child abuse and be placed on the state registry for maltreatment. The usual ACS tactic is if they cannot manufacture enough evidence against the parents in Family Court, they will file the case at OCFS. The hearings at OCFS are much more informal where hearsay is allowed. This is a very confusing process for parents. It is designed to give ACS workers another avenue to falsely accuse parents. If ACS has contacted you, do NOT speak to the ACS worker without an attorney.
