There are many abuses created by Child Protection Services (CPS) and Administration for Children Services (ACS). To start with the workers are often overwhelmed. Agencies tend to be underfunded and there are significant abuses created by these agencies. They often refuse to tell the parents who are being investigated why they are being investigated, what the allegations against them are and they never tell them what their rights are. They demand entrance to people’s homes, even though they don’t have a warrant. They are not entitled to go into homeowner’s homes The Fourth Amendment to the United State Constitution prevents investigations and entry into homes without an emergency situation or a search warrant. They sometimes listen to the responses to the answers to questions they ask parents and write instead in their notes what they feel the parents should have said.
Nature of Allegations Against Parents
CPS and ACS workers have a tendency to blow allegations that have been made out of proportion. They do not properly investigate cases. They only seek to get information against the individuals they are investigating. They don’t seek to follow-up on any leads that would show that the allegations against these individuals are not true. They virtually almost always go to the children’s schools and have them pulled out of class. They interview the child in a room that scares the child and intimidates the child. They subject the child to an interview, by an investigator, even if the child is 5 or 6 years old. If there as no real abuse by the parents, there is NOW by CPS or ACS.
