Fighting for the Rights of Parents in CPS and ACS Cases
You’re a good parent, but you’re strict. You have rules and you expect them to be followed. Unfortunately, that can get you into a lot of trouble. Sometimes it’s a well-meaning adult who misconstrues something your child did or said. Sometimes it’s a personal vendetta against you or your child. The reality, based on numerous studies, is that the allegations of neglect and abuse are often unfounded. A number of recent studies have concluded that more than 20% of child sexual abuse claims were false and one study suggested the nearly half (44%) of such allegations made by children ages 4-6 were baseless.
When you have been accused of physical or sexual abuse or neglect of a child, the potential consequences can be devastating. You may lose your job and be disqualified from many occupations. If found guilty, you may have to register as a sex offender. In any case, you’ll have to live with the stigma of the accusations. That’s when you need the Law Offices of Schlissel DeCorpo.
At Schissel DeCorpo, we bring more than a century of combined legal experience to parents throughout the NYC metropolitan area who face allegations of child abuse or child neglect.
