 ACS workers are trained to obtain cooperation from parents. In this endeavor, they have what are called hard and soft tactics. One of the most effective soft tactics that they have is to tell the parent in the beginning of the investigation that they (the acs workers) doesn't even know why they are there and the investigation " should be closed soon."  This has the affect of putting the parent at ease. Then, the ACS worker will return to the home and state that their " supervisor" has told them they must take services from ACS or face a case being filed against them in family court. This scenario can vary a little but the outcome is always the same. The parent cannot understand how the case went from being closed to the parents having to do services. These tricks used by ACS workers are akin to the used car salesman using his "manager" as a higher authority. Unfortunatey, we are dealing with the safety of children and the rights of parents. The goal o...

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

ACS receives thousands of calls a day about child abuse. IN many cases, they will forward the case to the New York Office of Children and Family Services for a hearing. This is a two step process. First, there is a conference. At the conference an ACS attorney will tell the judge about the case against you and how they would like to proceed. The second step is an actual hearing. There are many jobs that you cannot hold if you have an ACS indication. Such as, nurse, child care, elderly care, nursing home. Thus, an indication can have a real impact on the future of any parent. It is imperative that you have an attorney present with you. Without legal help, the ACS lawyers will dictate the terms and may demand that you plead guilty. DO NOT plead guilty. These cases must be tried in the courtroom and you must confront the ACS allegations. When you receive a letter of indication, you must contact an attorney right away. You only have 90 days to prepare a defense. The Law Offices of Michae...

The ACS worker has a very powerful tool in her arsenal. In order to obtain secrets access to your children, they will pull your child out of class in their school. This happens most often at NYC public schools. The DOE has a policy that gives ACS free reign over your children. Thus, the ACS worker will interview your child in private and ask her or him all sorts of questions. This can be very upsetting to a child who has never met the worker and has no way to defend themselves. WHAT CAN YOU DO? Once you are aware that ACS has been called on you, realize that they will go to your school. The first thing is to advise your child, not to speak to strangers. Second, you must advise the school officials in writing that you do not want anyone speaking to your child without you present. NYC DOE will not help you.
