BROOKLYN ACS DEFENSE LAWYER

HOW DOES THE PROCESS START?

The procees usually begins with ACS being alerted to alleged child abuse by a teacher, parent, doctor or other party. Once ACS receives a complaint they will follow up. They will contact the parents and attempt to interview the child and parent about the abuse. ACS will do multiple interviews of the parent and the child. If the ACS worker finds that the abuse is putting the child in danger they will file a petition with the Family Court and try to remove the child from the home. It is important to know that ACS does not record the interviews with the parents or the child. This allows them to change their position if the case goes to court.
