HOW ACS WORKERS USE "SUPERVISOR" AUTHORITY

ACS workers will use an old tactic against parents that has been used in many different fields. The "my supervisors" said he wants this. This is used against parents to take the blame off the ACS worker and put it on an amorphous supervisor who is in the background controlling events. The is simply a ruse and should not be followed. The acs agenda is two fold. One, if possible it is to remove children and place them in foster care and if that is not legally possible, ACS wants parents to take useless services. The ACS commissioner recently said to the city council that parents should not have lawyers because they may mis out on "all that ACS has to offer". Be mindful this is a highly dysfunctional agency that attacks thousands of parents each year. They do this to ensure that their $3.1 billion budget keeps increasing.

DO NOT SPEAK TO ACS WORKERS

 The most important thing a parent can do is not speak to an ACS worker without an attorney.Every day in our practice parents, tell us the nightmare stories that they have suffered at the hands of ACS workers. It all begins with the parent talking to an ACS worker about their family. Let us remember the two a main goals of ACS: 1. To remove children to foster care 2. To register parents in useless services that help no one. The goal of all ACS workers is to attack the parents and create a court case against them. Ironically, ACS workers only attack good parents. WHY? because they know that these parents will never harm their children. Thus, after ACS has them enrolled in useless classes and services, they can claim that they have "fixed" a family.  Now  children in crisis are very difficult to help that is why so many children who need real help die while they are under ACS supervision. The dysfunction of ACS harms good parents and does not help children in need. ...

ACS IS AFRAID OF PARENTS HAVING LAWYERS

Child abuse investigation? DON’T send in the lawyers By Post Editorial Board November 1, 2019  |  8:43pm Enlarge Image Stephen Levin, chairman of the City Council Committee on General Welfare. William Farrington MORE ON: EDITORIAL Carranza keeps treating his minority critics like they're un-persons Cuomo needs to call out subway union's blackmail bid Sondland's 'bombshell' turns out to be merely his 'presumption' Macron to Europe — unite or die and other commentary Of all the many situations that aren’t improved by bringing in lawyers, the early stages of an Administration for Children’s Services investigation has to lead the list. But City Councilman Stephen Levin (D-Brooklyn), whose committee oversees ACS,   wants lawyers involved  as soon as ACS opens a case. He thinks kids’ safety is ensured by “fully respecting the rights of parents to not have the state unduly infringe on their relationship with their ch...

THE ACS WORKER WENT TO MY CHILD'S SCHOOL

Parents are often shocked to hear that an ACS worker went to their child's school, pulled them out of class and interviewed them without the parents consent. This is an every day tactic that ACS workers employ. Even after they have visited the home, the ACS workers will go to the school in hopes of having the children make statements that they can use against the parents. The goal of the ACS worker is to manufacture as much damaging information against the parents in order to force the parents to enter useless ACS programs. Thus ensuring that ACS keeps being funded.

CAN ACS TAKE MY CHILD?

This is the ultimate question we receive from parents. ACS has the power to remove a child in an " emergency" under the Family Court Act. ACS can also ask a judge to remove a child from a parent during the pendency of a case. Some of the major reasons that ACS would remove a child are: - sexual abuse - excessive corporal punishment - alcohol or drug abuse by parent - disobeying court order Once a child has been removed from a parent they can either go into the care of a relative, known as kinship care, or into the foster care system. The foster care system in New York City is rife with abuse and neglect and is expressly poorly managed. It is one of the major failures of ACS. While their are many well-meaning foster care parents, ACS is highly dysfunctional in supporting them. This has been a problem for decades and ACS refuses to fix the issues in the foster care system.

THE MARSHALL PROJECT EXPOSES ACS AND THE FOSTER CARE AGENCIES WHO STEAL CHILDREN FOR PROFIT

He Didn’t Abuse His Daughter. The State Took Her Anyway. An unwed father hopes his case will change the way courts decide what it means to be a parent. For the first five years of his daughter Amanda’s life , Ping N., a restaurant manager in Manhattan, lived with his little girl and her mother. He tucked her into bed at night and enjoyed spoiling her with her favorite snacks, like fish balls, egg tarts and ramen noodles. This story was produced in partnership with  The New York Times . But when child welfare officials found that Amanda’s mother had inflicted excessive corporal punishment on her in 2013, they removed the girl from the home. Even though court records show that Ping had never committed abuse and was not present when it took place, a judge later decided that he would lose his daughter, too. Ping could not have custody or any say in her life anymore. The reason was a quirk of New York State law: He and Amanda’s mother were not married when she was born, ...

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO AN ACS WORKER?

This is probably the number one question parents have. We must be mindful that ACS is a highly untrained and unprofessional organization. Once a parent has either refused to open the door or refused ACS access, the ACS worker will call the police. Once the NYPD arrives, the police officers will usually try to convince the parent to open the door to make things "easier" for them. Without a court order, the police will usually not use force to enter the home, however in a recent case the police officer inserted his baton in the door preventing the parents from closing it. The ACS worker will then go to court, without telling the parent and obtain a court order that the parents produce the children at the ACS office. This will keep escalating until the parent complies. The vast majority of judged will do as ACS requests and never question their motives. If you have been contact by ACS, contact us, THE LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL S. DISCIOARRO, LLC .

FALSE ACS CHARGES CAN RUIN LIVES AND RELATIONSHIPS

It is important to note that anyone can call ACS on anyone at anytime. The hotline is always open and there is absolutely no screening done by ACS.  Once an ACS call is made, the ACS worker will appear at your door. Once an ACS worker appears, the damage can be immediate. The tress ACS puts on families is immense and profound. Parents, often confused, will attack each other and family relationships start to break down. The ACS worker will not stop until the parents agree to unseless classes which allow ACS to receive more funding. If your family has been targeted by ACS, contact the Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC. at 917-519-8417 , don't face ACS alone. FALSEACSCHARGES.COM

ACS IS GIVING TEACHERS IN NYC SCHOOLS INACCURATE INFORMATION

This is being given to teachers in NYC schools to explain the ACS process. What the teachers are not being told is that with one phone call the child can be removed.

CAN I SUE ACS?

 We need to revisit this topic because it comes up so often in our practice and by desperate parents who are involved in ACS cases. To begin with, what is meant by suing ACS is filing a lawsuit against the agency, the worker, and the City of New York. In order to file a lawsuit, you should obtain an attorney. While you can file a lawsuit pro se ( without a lawyer), the laws regarding suing the City and the legal procedures are simply too complicated for a non-lawyer to be effective. Thus the first obstacle is retaining a lawyer who will take your case. This is a major hurdle. Cities and states have whats called, qualified immunity. This makes them more difficult to sue. The kind of lawyer you would need is a personal injury lawyer. This may sound strange, but these are the lawyers that routinely sue NYC in court for violating the rights of citizens. There is also another major obstacle. Because these lawyers are used to suing the NYPD and various public agencies, they have very l...

ACS IS ACCUSING ME OF EDUCATIONAL NEGLECT

With the new school year upon us, ACS workers will be looking for parents to accuse of educational neglect. This comes in two forms. One form is pretty simple. The child misses too much school. How much is too much? Well to an ACS worker a few days will have them demanding that parents take parenting classes. Another type of neglect is when ACS accuses parents of not getting their child the services that are needed in the School. Often, the ACS worker an the DOE will gang up on the parents to attack them and absolve the DOE of responsibility. Here are some cases. If you have been accused of educational neglect by ACS, contact us at 917-519-8417 and lets us fight for you. The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC.

ACS SUED BY 19 PLAINTIFFS OVER ITS FOSTER CARE SYSTEM

Elisa W. v. City of New York Plaintiffs:  19 foster children, aged 3 through 16, representing the class of over 11,000 New York City foster children Public Advocate:  Letitia James About the NYC Foster Care System New York City’s foster children are more likely to be harmed while in foster care than children almost anywhere else in the country. Each year, approximately 1,000 New York City children leave the foster care system without a permanent family or connection to an adult upon whom they can depend. Many of them wind up homeless. In New York City, children in foster care spend twice as much time in state custody as children in the rest of New York State and over double the amount of time in state custody as children in the rest of the nation. It takes longer to return New York City children in foster care to their parents than in the rest of New York State and the rest of the nation. Federal data shows that New York City performs worse on this measure th...

THE ACS WORKER WANTS ME TO SIGN A HIPPA FORM FOR MY CHILD'S MEDICAL RECORDS

ACS workers routinely will ask parents to sign HIPPA forms so they may obtain a child's medical records. This even after the investigation has revealed that there is nothing wrong with the child. The ACS worker will states that their supervisor wants it and they are just following "protocol". The reason for the form is so ACS can dig through the child's medical records and find something to attack the parents with. A missed doctor's appointment or disagreeing with a doctor about a child's treatment are all reasons for ACS to possibly file a petition against the parents in family court. Before signing a HIPPA form, speak to an attorney. FIGHTACS.COM BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM

ACS WORKERS HAVE NO IDEA WHERE CHILD IN THEIR CARE IS AND DID NOT LOOK FOR HER

The New York City agency assigned to protect children from neglect is being accused of neglect by attorneys for the Legal Aid Society. Heather Saslovsky represents a 17-year-old girl in ACS care who has been missing since December of 2018 after running away from an emergency children’s housing center. “ACS has no idea where she is and hasn’t looked for her,” Saslovsky said. Saslovsky said ACS case workers repeatedly failed to show up in court or provide any documentation of efforts to try and find the teen over a period of months. . Laquana Clotter told the I-Team, “No one from ACS ever came to my door.” She says that last fall, she told an ACS case worker she would take in the girl and provide whatever background was requested. Clotter claims no one followed up and that the case worker dissuaded her from getting involved. “She said that if my friend’s daughter messed up in some way, they could remove my kids from my home.” Top Tri-State News Photos ASSOCIATED...

DO I TAKE AN ACS DRUG TEST

The average parent receives a knock on his door and an ACS worker is there based on an anonymous complaint. Most parents will panic. The ACS worker will then demand that the parent tale a drug test based on an anonymous tip that the parents use drugs. ACS uses drug tests as intimidation tools. If the drug test is negative, ACS workers will disregard it and keep asking the parent to take more tests. If it is positive, they will use that to attack the parents. We have seen cases where acs workers intentionally hide negative drug test.ACS is deigned to attack the parents not help children. If ACS wanted to actually help children, 32 would not be dead under their supervision. This is a highly dysfunctional agency that must be held accountable. FIGHTACS.COM QUEENSACSLAWYER.COM

APPELLATE COURT SLAMS ACS AND REVERSE JUDGE MICHAEL MILSAP OF THE BRONX FAMILY COURT

Our clients were deathly afraid of their foster son who had attacked and savagely beaten his father. ACS demanded that the parents meet with the son to plant for his future. As the attorneys, we contacted ACS and advised that we would represent the parents. ACS refused to have any contact with our office and filed a neglect petition against the parents. At trial, Judge Michael Milsap wrongly agreed with ACS. The unanimous court overturned his decision. Real below.
