NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

During child safety conferences, ACS workers will assign a parent an "advocate". This is a person who works for ACS who's job it is to advocate for the parent. In reality, this person will advise the parent to simply cooperate with ACS and the case will beaver soon. They are there to "soften up" the parent so ACS workers can extract more information from the parent and attack them as much as they can. If you are being taken to a child safety conference by ACS, contact an attorney as soon as possible. our hotline is 917-519-8417. FIGHTACS.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM

The young father was arrested after his 6-week-old son was found lifeless in his crib in the Bronx one morning last week. Investigators had found undated video on a baby monitor of him pressing down on a pillow over the tiny boy’s head and charged him with murder. But it was not the first time the authorities had heard about the father, Teshawn Watkins. Not only had the police arrested him twice on charges he had assaulted the baby’s mother, but the authorities investigated him four times over allegations of child abuse in the family, including once when another son had a broken leg, law enforcement officials told The New York Times. Now, nearly a week after Mr. Watkins, 27, was charged in his son Kaseem’s death, questions have begun to arise over how so many warning signs went unheeded and whether the city could have done more to protect Mr. Watkins’s three sons. The city’s Administration for Children’s Services, which handles child abuse allegations, and the New York Polic...

According to this article , the NY Times reports that ACS will add 400 ACS workers in June. If true, this will simply be chaos. The article, which is a PR stunt by ACS also states that ACS is tearing away children from their parents at a higher rate than before. This is of little concern to the ACS Commissioner who simply sees it as the way ACS does business.ACS workers are very poorly trained, or not rained at al. Recently, we asked an ACS worker if she knew what the Family Court Act was and she had no idea. To add 400 new ACS workers with the power to remove children from their homes is irresponsible and will lead to more broken families. This new Commissioner is of the opinion that all you have to do is take children away from their parents and they will be fine. This is a very bad sign of things to come.

Why did ACS indicate me at OCFS? This is a common question. The first reason is that the ACS did not have enough evidence to actually file a case against you in Family Court. This is a way of the ACS worker making pretend that they are actually doing something. Then the parents dmustattend an OCFS hearing. The parents must at risk are those who have jobs in the medical, education or child care. Once you have been indicated, it will negatively impact you ability to work in these fields. The hearings are conducted at the OCFS in Harlem and can last a few hours. A judge will then issue a written decision. ACSATTORNEYS.COM QUEENSACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM NYCACSLAWYER.COM

If there is a marital dispute between parents and ACS becomes aware of it, they will use this opportunity to attack the parents and force them into unnecessary "services" and will demand that one parent file for an order of protection against the other. This is especially true if a parent calls 911 because they are having a dispute. Parents who cooperate with ACS run the risk of losing their children. ACS will claim that the parent is doing nothing to stop he abuse. This is especially true of the woman calls 911. They will demand that she move into a shelter for abused women and that she never see her " abuser" again. This is all designed to keep the funding flowing to ACS. Each time a mother is placed in a domestic violence shelter, ACS receives tens of thousands of dollars from state and federal agencies. This adds up to hundreds of millions of dollars a year for this very incompetent agency. QUEENSDOMESTICVIOLENCELAWYER.COM QUEENSDOMESTICVIOLENCEATTORNEY...

This is a common question we receive from parents. The answer is simple, NO. You as the parent must advise the ACS worker that you will not allow them to speak with your child alone. You must also contact the child's school and advise them that they are not to allow the ACS worker to speak to your child. ACS workers will manipulate a child's statement or simply lie about them. If ACS workers want to speak to your child, they can go get a court order and then the matter can be dealt with in court. As soon as an ACS worker wants to speak to your child, contact an ACS lawyer to protect your rights. BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM FIGHTACS.COM
