WHO DO YOU FILE A COMPLAINT TO ABOUT AN ACS WORKER?

 One of the most common questions about ACS is , how di file a complaint about my worker? Unfortunately, ACS has designed a system to protect its workers and themselves.

This theory would apply to almost any agency, but not ACS. There is a structural reason for this and after 17 years of handling hundreds of cases and dealing intimately with ACS workers and lawyers, we have some answers. BLAME THE PARENT AT ALL COSTS The major reason that ACS fails and children die is that the focus is not on protecting the child. Once a report of child abuse comes in, the ACS worker will go to the home and immediately star t attacking the parent. The agenda of ACS workers is to make every parent a bad parent and demand that they enroll in services. This does not leave any time to actually focus on the children that are in true need.
