The usual methods of investigation by ACS is by making home visits and speaking with the parents. The ACS workers do not record the interviews in any way. This allows them to allege that parents have made certain statements and lie in court if the need arises. If the conversation is not recorded, there is no way to challenge their lies.
ACS will also obtain medical records and school records of the child in question. They will also go to the child's school to interview the child outside th presence of the parent. This happens in cases where the children are as young as five years old. ACS claims that this is done to protect the chidlren, in reality it is done to give the ACS case worker the ability to manfacture a case against the parents.
If you have been contacted by an ACS worker regarding alleged child abuse, do NOT under any circumstances speak to them. They will use your words, twist them, and use them against you in court. Call The Law Office of Michael S. Discioarro, LLC at 917-519-8417 and let us get between you and ACS.
