NEW YORK CITY ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

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...

Boy, 3, Allergic to Dairy, Dies After Eating Grilled Cheese at Pre-K By  ELIZABETH A.

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....

As we have discussed, anyone with a phone can call ACS on anyone else. ACS does not investigate who calls. they simply go and attack the parent. One of the most common calls to ACS is that a parent is using "drugs". The ACS worker will then go to the home and demand that the parent take a drug test. This is a trap. The way ACS uses drug tests is as follows. If they are positive, even for marijuana, they will demand that the parent enter into a drug program. If they are negative, they will hide the results and harass the parent until the parent enters a drug program. For ACS , the accusation is the proof of the case. The ACS workers are very poorly trained, badly educated, and extremely arrogant. It is very difficult for parents to deal with them because they are so unprofessional and the parents are not prepared for this. Many ACS workers we have spoke to will not even give us their business cards or full names. In fact, letters that parents receive from ACS only have the wor...
