NYC has what is known as the Child Advocacy Center. The most important things that are done there are child interviews that are video recorded. Present will be the ACS worker, a prosecutor, an ACS worker and an NYPD detective, These are usually done in cases where sexual abuse is suspected. As one can imagine, it is a very valuable piece of evidence. Because of this value, ACS will try to hide it or proceed to court without it. ACS lawyer would rather put an ACS worker on the stand then have the videotape played in court. The reason is simple. The ACS worker can claim that a child made statements they did not make and there is no ability for the judge to see the child's demeanor. If you are involved in a case where there was a Child Advocacy Center interview, you must obtain a copy of the tape.BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM
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
