THE MARSHALL PROJECT EXPOSES ACS AND THE FOSTER CARE AGENCIES WHO STEAL CHILDREN FOR PROFIT

He Didn’t Abuse His Daughter. The State Took Her Anyway. An unwed father hopes his case will change the way courts decide what it means to be a parent. For the first five years of his daughter Amanda’s life , Ping N., a restaurant manager in Manhattan, lived with his little girl and her mother. He tucked her into bed at night and enjoyed spoiling her with her favorite snacks, like fish balls, egg tarts and ramen noodles. This story was produced in partnership with  The New York Times . But when child welfare officials found that Amanda’s mother had inflicted excessive corporal punishment on her in 2013, they removed the girl from the home. Even though court records show that Ping had never committed abuse and was not present when it took place, a judge later decided that he would lose his daughter, too. Ping could not have custody or any say in her life anymore. The reason was a quirk of New York State law: He and Amanda’s mother were not married when she was born, ...

FALSE ACS CHARGES CAN RUIN LIVES AND RELATIONSHIPS

It is important to note that anyone can call ACS on anyone at anytime. The hotline is always open and there is absolutely no screening done by ACS.  Once an ACS call is made, the ACS worker will appear at your door. Once an ACS worker appears, the damage can be immediate. The tress ACS puts on families is immense and profound. Parents, often confused, will attack each other and family relationships start to break down. The ACS worker will not stop until the parents agree to unseless classes which allow ACS to receive more funding. If your family has been targeted by ACS, contact the Law Offices of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC. at 917-519-8417 , don't face ACS alone. FALSEACSCHARGES.COM

YOU CAN'T HAVE A LAWYER IN THIS CASE  ACS workers who visit parents at the home will often advise parents that they are not allowed a lawyer because the case is not in court. They may also use language like "you don''t need a lawyer". This is simply untrue. The right to counsel in New York is heavily protected by the courts. ACS workers despise dealing with attorneys and in fact ACS policy is that ACS workers do not speak to attorneys. ACS workers will only speak to parents. What is the reason for this policy? Government agents of all types speak to attorneys on a regular basis to resolve cases. ACS workers are very poorly trained and the vast majority have not been on the job very long. Turnover at ACS is rampant and many people quit after realizing the true dysfunction of the agency. BROOKLYNACSLAWYER.COM NYCACSLAWYER.COM FIGHTACS.COM

THE FREE ACS LAWYER MAY BE TOO LATE

ACS divides their cases into two very separate groups. The first group is the ACS investigation cases. These are cases where no court action has been taken yet and ACS is simply "investigating" the parents. This is where true lawlessness occurs. The ACS workers are fond of telling parents " you don't need a lawyer, this is not a court case". What the workers skillfully avoid telling parents is that everything that has occurred during this phase will be used against them in court. It is the equivalent of the detective who tells a suspect he doesn't need an lawyer, then walks into court and claims the suspect confessed to him to the crime. At this point, the lawyer is not very effective. Despite state law, ACS workers do not believe parents have a right to an attorney at every stage. The power differential is too great. A parent vs. an ACS worker is not en even match. The next group of cases are the ones where a petition is actually filed in court against th...

ACS FAILS AGAIN-ANOTHER DEAD CHILD

Boy, 3, Allergic to Dairy, Dies After Eating Grilled Cheese at Pre-K By  ELIZABETH A. HARRIS NOV. 9, 2017 Continue reading the main story Share This Page Share Tweet Email More Save Photo Elijah Silvera   Credit Silvera Family  A 3-year-old boy died last week after having a severe allergic reaction at his Manhattan preschool, his family said. The boy, Elijah Silvera, was allergic to dairy and had been given a grilled cheese sandwich. Elijah was a student at the Seventh Avenue Center for Family Services in Harlem, a program overseen by the city’s Administration for Children’s Services and the Health Department. The Health Department said it has closed the school on Wednesday for inadequate supervision of a child and for failing to follow its own written safety plan. The site also houses a Universal pre-K program, part of Mayor de Blasio’s effort to provide free prekindergarten to all New York City 4 year olds, but Elijah was not a UPK student....

MY COURT APPOINTED LAWYER IS NOT HELPING ME

This is a common complaint we hear from parents when they call us for help. They do not believe that the free court appointed lawyer is helping them. Indeed there are some structural problems with the attorneys that the court appoints to represent parents for free. First, these lawyers are often good lawyers but are overwhelmed by the amount of cases that they have to handle. Second. since they appear in front of the same judge every day and that judge signs their pay slip (18b lawyers only) they try not to "rock the boat". This can leave parents feeling like their interests are not being protected. We advise parents that they must retain a private attorney that only represents their interests. These attorneys are paid only by the client and are not influenced by the judge or opposing counsel. In cases where ACS attacks your family, always hire a private attorney to defend your rights.

ACS REMOVES CHILDREN BECAUSE PARENTS ARE DISABLED

THE SHOCKING NY TIMES STORY IS BELOW: Shantell lifted her 11-month-old daughter onto her right hip and looked into her eyes until she smiled. Then, she locked her long arms as if to make a swing and swayed the toddler back and forth. It was the kind of daily interaction that her lawyers say was unfairly stripped away from Shantell, who is intellectually disabled and a mother to two other daughters, ages 2 and 3, and parents like her. Child welfare workers have removed Shantell’s three children from her care at various times, beginning in July 2016, following reports from hospital staff and social workers that her “developmental delays” and “mental delays” could hinder her ability to parent. With the help of lawyers, Shantell’s children were returned to her by November 2016, but the ordeal spurred her to join a class-action lawsuit filed last week against New York City for violating the rights of parents who have intellectual disabilities. Shantell, ...

HOW ACS AND FAMILY COURT JUDGES PERPETUATE INEQUALITY IN NYC

New York City has made an incredible transformation in the last 20 years. NYC is now a wealthy thriving metropolis that is the envy of the world. The top talents of any field are here.  As a result, many families are struggling financially because of skyrocketing rents. This is especially true in the black community. This is where ACS is most aggressive. ACS workers target single black mothers at an alarming rate. It has been called the new family Jim Crow. ACS workers are quick to tear apart black mothers from their children and place them into foster care and place the mother into a shelter. Many single black mothers are told, "quite your job, you can go to a shelter." This adds to the ACS statistics and allows millions of dollars to flow to ACS and the foster care system. Where are the courts in all of this? Largely, the vast majority of Family Court judges are intimidated by ACS. It is politically easier for them to rubber stamp an ACS request then it is to actually h...

ACS DOES NOT ALLOW ATTORNEYS AT FAMILY SAFETY CONFERENCES. WHY?

ACS workers like to bully parents into attending what they call a Family Safety Conference. Attorneys who represent these parents are not allowed as per ACS policy. So, in a society where the right to counsel is omnipresent, ACS is so fearful of being exposed that they try to hide what they do from as many people as possible. As an attorney I have met with the FBI, NYPD, DEA, DOI and dozens of other state, federal and city agencies on behalf of clients. However, ACS workers have devised a system where they want to abuse parents in private without the benefit of an attorney to guide them. The Family Safety Conference is simply an ambush conducted by the A CS worker and their supervisors where they accuse the parents of wrongdoing and then demand that parents follow the ACS orders. This is all without any type of Court supervision. Lastly, many judges are surprised to learn that attorneys are not allowed to attend these conferences. It is  a shameful tactic and the next ACS Commi...
