ACS workers who demand entry to parent's homes are often ask the worker wether they should have an attorney. ACS workers are trained to advise parents not to seek an attorney because the case "is not in court". What the ACS worker does not tell the parents is that anything the parents say or are alleged to have said can be used in court against them and justify removing their children. Even when parents hire an attorney, it is ACS policy for workers not to speak to the parent's attorney. The right to counsel in New York is a fundamental right that is jealously guarded by the courts. Parents has a right to a lawyer as soon as an ACS investigation begins.
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.
