The ACS worker uses the home visit as the first tool of intimidation. They will appear at your front door at any hour. Their goal is to catch the parent off guard. This allows them to move on to the next phase of the process. Once the ACS worker is allowed in, they will usually not show any identification nor will they give you a business card. The ACS worker's goal is to remain as anonymous as possible, while making demands of the parents. The first demand they will make is to claim that you MUST speak to them about your family. These conversations will not be recorded in any way, so as to allow the ACS worker to claim a parent has made certain admissions.
It is at this point that parents should be the most on guard. The most important thing to do is to RECORD, RECORD, RECORD. Cell phone cameras are perfect for this. Advise the ACS worker that they will be recorded and that the law allows you to do this. As soon as possible, contact an attorney for help and make no statements to the ACS worker.
