HOW ACS USES CHILD ADVOCACY CENTERS (CAC)

  ACS has access to Child Advocacy Centers in every borough. The goal of these centers is to interview the child just one and record the interview for use in court or other proceedings. 

A child forensic interview is a process where a child is given the opportunity to make a statement about what happened in a private, safe, supportive environment. The child is questioned in a legally-sound, developmentally appropriate, and trauma-informed manner by a specially trained child interviewer. Members of the multidisciplinary team that have jurisdiction over the case observe the interview as it is taking place. Interviews are recorded, reducing the number of times children need to be interviewed, therefore reducing trauma to the child. Information gathered in the forensic interview is used to help make decisions about protection, prosecution and treatment. Conducting forensic interviews with child crime victims in a child advocacy center is considered best practice.


ACS Worker will demand that a parent bring the child to a center and be interviewed outside the presence of the parents. The sad reality is that many of the interviewers are woefully trained and poorly educated in how to actually interview a child. The goal of the CAC interview is to try and find something that the child says so ACS can attack the parents. While SVU detectives are also present, in the vast majority of cases there are no criminal charges filed. This however, does not stop ACS by using any minor thing that the child has said against the parent. While the interview is videotaped, the ACS worker will often deny that a video tape exists.


If an ACS worker demands that you take your children to the CAC, contact an ACS attorney immediately.

THE DANGER OF THE ACS HOME VISITS

 The bulk of the street level work that ACS does is the home visit. ACS workers take this opportunity to attack the parents in any ay that they can. Initially the ACS worker will demand that the parents not record them. They will actually give you orders in your own home. Do not allow them to do this. If you have been contacted by ACS, contact our hotline at      917-519-8417 Do not speak to an acs worker without an attorney!! brooklynacslawyer.com queensacslawyer.com bronxacslawyer.com statenislandacslawyer.com sueacs.com
