ACS workers have a very powerful tool against parents in child abuse investigations. When an ACS workers interviews a child and is not given the answers that will allow him to charge the parents with child abuse, they will conduct a Child Advocacy Center interview. The process is as follows. The child is taken to a CAC center, where an "expert" interviewer will browbeat the child into admitting that the parents did something. As soon as a child says anything negative about the parent, the interview stops and the parent will be charged with child abuse. This is done to children as young as four. The interviews are recorded and presented in court. The interviewer is usually a recent college grad who has been given clear instructions to try and get "something" on the parents. To view some of these interviews is truly shocking. If a child says nothing happened he is not believed. If a child lies about various issues its put down as kid talk. The only thing that matters is that a shill say something negative about the parents. The most asked question we receive is why? The simple reason is money. ACS is an agency that has to make it appear that they are working to protect children and the more cases they can file the more they can justify their $3.2 billion dollar budget.
This is all done behind closed doors where parents nor lawyers are allowed. Parents need to be aware of these tactics and object and call an attorney as soon as possible.
