Mr. Discioarro said. ACS workers will go to a parent's home with only an anonymous phone call and demand to speak to the children alone and that parents comply with services. They may also demand a drug test. This is all done without court order. Parents are often intimidated and comply with these orders from the workers. The most important thing is not to speak to the ACS worker and contact an atto...

 A very common question is, do I have to speak with ACS workers. There is noting the Family Court Act that mandates that. ACS workers will demand that they speak to them without an attorney. Under New York Law, you have the right to an attorney. The reason are many. To begin with , ACS workers do not record any conversations, this allows them to lie about what the parents have said. Next, ACS workers do not inform parents of the allegations, they merely dig until they believe they found something to use against the parents. The goal of ACS is to remove children and place parents in useless services. Stand on your rights as a parent.

 One of the toughest tactics that an ACS worker will take with a family is to demand that parent leave the home without a court order. ACS workers routinely order parents out of the home simply based on allegations made by the worker. ACS workers do not have the legal power to remove a parent form the home yet they do so routinely. They must obtain a court order. If an ACS worker is trying to remove you from the home, contact us at our hotline at 918-519-8417.

  NYC ACS Lawyer Announces Winning Right to Counsel Motion ACS Tried to Stop Parents From Having Attorney Present at a Visit. The Court Sided With The Parents By: michael discioarro BROOKLYN, N.Y.  -  Sept. 21, 2021  -  PRLog  -- The Right to Counsel is a sacred right enjoyed by all Americans. It is guaranteed to us by the U.S. Constitution and the New York State Constitution. ACS filed a motion to prevent the parent's lawyer from appearing at home visits virtually. ACS alleged that it was not critical for the attorney to be present. In the case of Matter of K.D. N.A-05773-5/ 21, the Hon. Judge  Eelenor Cherry from Queens Family Court denied their motion. "At any one of these visits, the result can be an application for removal, and how the visit went. To say that these court visits are not critical, the Court disagrees." Judge Cherry held in her ruling after oral arguments. "We're very happy for the client, they have been wrongfully accused and now AC...

 Parents accused by ACS have only one forum to address the allegations. The Family Court judge.There are no juries to decide wether a parent is acting appropriate with their child. We desperately need a jury system in Family Court for ACS cases. Just like a jury decides if a person is guilty of a crime, the community, through a jury should decide if a parent is neglecting or abusing their child. In fact, while we force juries to hear a vast array of complicated cases, they would be uniquely suited to serve if they raised. a child. However, that is not the system we have. What we are left with is the singular and autocratic rule of a Family Court judge. The unfortunate reality, I that many Family Court judges are mere rubber stamps for ACS. Why is this so? It is very simple, when a judge disobeys ACS they run the risk of ACS attacking him/her publicly for their position. ACS routinely accuses judges of wrongdoing to cover up the incompetence of its own making. All a parent can do is...

 This is a common question and often never clearly answered by ACS. This is the official ACS statement on what ACS does during an investigation: During the investigation, ACS will: Contact the person who made the report within 24 hours, to gather more information. Make an unannounced visit to your home within 24 – 48 hours of the report. CPS must see and speak to all your biological children living with you or with other caretakers, as well as all children that are present in the home during the investigation. Speak to all adults or caretakers living in the home. Give you a letter called a Notice of Existence, informing you that you have an open investigation of abuse or maltreatment. If you are not home, CPS will leave a Notice of Home Visit letter informing you of the visit. Check to make sure your home is free of hazards, has adequate food, safe sleeping arrangements, etc. Go to your child’s school, talk to family members and other people who may know your child, like a neighbor...

  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 ...

he MTA’s safety campaign “If You See Something, Say Something” is a familiar message, one that urges New Yorkers to pay attention and report suspicious activity. But when a  child-welfare campaign adopted a similar tone, critics told WNYC they worried about potentially harmful  consequences for children and families.  The Administration for Children's Services is running ads on Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, in part to reach teenagers and prompt them to report their own abuse or call for a friend.

 This is probably the most important decision parents have to make when an investigation starts. Once ACS targets your family you must decide how to deal with them. Remember, ACS has the power of the law and the police behind them. If an ACS worker knocks on your door and you do not open, they will keep coming back until they make contact. If you keep refusing, ACS will go to Court, without notifying you, and obtain a court order tented your home. They will also seek the help of the NYPD to break down your door. This is all done without you being able to present your side to the judge. If ACS contacts you, contact us at our hotline at 917-519-8417 and lets us protect your parental rights!

NEW YORK  -  Nov. 30, 2020  -  PRLog  -- In New York, the Family Court Act gives the parents the right to demand the return of their children if they have been removed by ACS. The actual law is as  follows: Up the application of the parent or other person legally responsible for the care of a child temporarily removed under this part or upon the application of the child's attorney for an order returning the child, the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the child should be returned (i) unless there has been a hearing pursuant to section one thousand twenty-seven of this article on the removal of the child at which the parent or other person legally responsible for the child's care was present and had the opportunity to be represented by counsel, or (ii) upon good cause shown. Except for good cause shown, such hearing shall be held within three court days of the application and shall not be adjourned. Upon such hearing, the court shall grant the ...

 One of the most common ACS tactics is to roam a building where the target family is and ask the people in the building and the neighborhood if they have any complaints about the target family. If anyone says anything negative, it will be placed in the ACS report and taken as truth by ACS. This is a complete violation of a parent's rights. It is something that we have brought to the attention of the ACS Commissioner and have been ignored. The goal of ACS is to attack families. If your family has been targeted by ACS, don't speak to the ACS worker.  Contact our hotline at 917-519-8417. FIGHTACS.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM

 As we have previously discussed, the goal of ACS is not to protect children but to maintain their funding. A large budget crisis is unfolding in NYC. Layoffs by the Mayor have already started. In recent weeks we have seen a disturbing trend by ACS workers. Workers are more aggressive and are removing more children from their parents even during Covid-19. This is a way to try to protect their budget and jobs. Parents must be very aware of this. FIGHTACS.COM NYCCPSLAWYER.COM STATENISLANDACSLAWYER.COM

 The ACS worker will inform parents that they must attend a Child Safety Conference.(CSC) They are also told that no lawyers are allowed at this conference and it cannot be recorded in any way. The CSC is a vehicle designed to obtain more information from the parent and give ACS a stronger case in court. Nothing will be recorded, thus the ACS workers can tell the Court anything they wish about statements that the parents made. IN the vast majority of cases, after the CSC a court case is filed against the parents. IN order to increase stress on the parents it usually happens the same day. The goal of the ACS worker is to place as much pressure on the parents so that they comply. You will also be provided a "parent advocate" in the CSC. This person is used by ACS to give the parent the feeling that someone is on their side. In reality, this is a person who works with ACS every day and must follow the ACS policy of attacking the parent as much as possible. Often the person works...

 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...

ACS workers have two options if they file a case against a parent. They can either file a petition in Family Court or an indicated case at the Offices of Children and Family Services. If there is little evidence against the parents they will only file at OCFS. This can be real trouble for parents that work with children or in the healthcare field. The first thing you must do is respond to the allegations right away. The law limits the amount of time that you have to appeal. Once an appeal is granted you may have to actually go to a hearing. The Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC  will review all of the evidence in your case. We will contact OCFS and demand that the case be dismissed or in the alternative demand a hearing. We will discuss the case with you and appear with you at the hearing is necessary. At each step of the way the goal is to have the case dismissed and you removed from the registry. We will seek all legal avenues to make sure your rights are protected....

We are asked every day how to sue ACS. The biggest challenge is that ACS holds certain state given immunities. Thus suing ACS and winning is very difficult. Many attorneys will not take an ACS lawsuit case in most instances. We only defend parents and do not bring suit in court. An effective way to hold ACS accountable is to file suit in federal court. The courts have offices that a assist pro-se litigants. ACS has much less power in federal court. They must adhere to the judges schedule or face punishment. If you believe you have a lawsuit against ACS, but no attorney will take your case, consider filing pro-se. You will have to pay all of the associated fees and costs of a lawsuit which can run into the thousands of dollars. Contact federal court today.

To falsely report a crime or event to a public entity is a crime in New York State. See Penal law 240.50(4). ACS receives thousands of calls a day about suspected child abuse in New York City. Many of them are demonstrably false. In fact in once case, our client's accuser told the ACS worker that she lied and would continue to make false calls. So what does ACS do about these false reports? The answer is absolutely nothing. ACS has one agenda- to accuse as many parents of child abuse and keep their funding and make it appear as they are protecting children. They fail at every step. The children who are in real need are ignored and good parents are attacked in order to  pad the ACS statistics. The names of the dead children still haunt us today. If ACS contacts you, do not speak to them. Contact an attorney as soon as possible. WWW.NYCACSLAWYER.COM WWW.BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM WWW.BROOKLYNACSATTORNEY.COM

This is a common question from frustrated parents. The truth is that, in the hierarchy of courts, Family Court is seen as the lowest one nu prospective judges. Judges would much rather have the prestige of Supreme Court in Civil and Criminal cases. Another reason is that the legislature has ignored the needs of family court for a long time. There are simply not enough judges and the caseload is crushing. Just receiving a trial date can take months. Also, in every ACS case, every adjournment has to meet the schedules of three different attorneys, the can be very difficult. It is in this environment that ACS dysfunction thrives. ACS workers do not want an open and fair trial They prefer to accuse parents of abuse and then drag it out through the court system. In the interim, they demand that parents do useless "services" in order to help them become better parents. It is a completely corrupt system that needs to be addressed. As we have said many times. We need juries in Fami...
