WHAT RIGHTS TO PARENTS HAVE AGAINST ACS

The first tools that an ACS worker learns to use against parents is threats and intimidation. This is a very effective strategy. ACS workers can remove a child from a home based on their opinion alone. It is with this threat, that parents are attacked with and demanded that they comply with ACS directives. There are two very important rights that ACS workers are most afraid of. First, in New York state, you , as an individual, have the right to record your conversations as long as you're part of the conversation. With the rise of cell phone cameras this is now easier then ever. As soon as an ACS worker begins to contact you, record all of the interactions. Let the ACS worker know you are recording all of the interactions. You will be threatened and attacked for doing so. Many of our clients have been told by ACS workers that it is illegal for them to be taped. This is simply not the law. State and federal police agencies record criminals on a daily basis.  Record, record, record!!

The second right that ACS workers are most affraid of is the parent obtaining an attorney for representation. Our clients are often asked, why they hired an attorney. The right to counsel in New York state is protected by the courts. Do not speak to the ACS worker before you speak to an attorney. QUEENSACSATTORNEY.COM
