ACS has a website dedicated to what happens to parents in an ACS case. You can find it here. What ACS does not tell you is that you have legal rights that ACS cannot remove. We will discuss each one.
1. THE RIGHT TO A LAWYER- The New York and Federal constitution guarantee a right to a lawyer. ACS workers will often tell parents they do not need a lawyer because the case is not in court. This is incorrect. When dealing with a state authority, a parent should awls seek legal counsel. Most parents are not equipped to deal with ACS workers.
2. YOU MUST COOPERATE: Parents have the absolute right to ignore ACS workers demands and force ACS to speak to their attorney.
3. YOU CANNOT RECORD ACS WORKERS: ACS workers do not like to be identified or be held accountable. You have the right to record them in your home.
4.YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEEK A JUDGE'S DECISION: The only thing that stops ACS workers is a Judge's order. When an ACS worker is being abusive you can ask y our attorney to file a motion.
If you and your family have been targeted by ACS, contact THE LAW OFFICES OF MICHAEL S. DISCIOARRO, LLC AT 917-519-8417 and stand up for your family.
