There are so many reasons to not speak to a DCF worker. In all my life I have never heard one good thing about this agency. It is all based on reputation, and they have a bad one. Do you ever turn on the news and hear anything good about them? No, they prey on the weak, they bully parents, but they do it in a way that when they speak to you they are telling you how “all they want to do is help” Then they want you to start signing papers, asking questions and while writing things down, it’s not what your saying it’s what they want to hear. As parent’s we do everything to protect our children, and these “social workers” do everything they can to make a functional family dis functional.

They have a job to do, and that is to protect children. The way they do the job is by lying. We all know that having a job you have job duties, so when DCF get’s a call they have to go and investigate. But what they don’t do is listen. They want to be able to go back to the boss and say we have a case. And then it begins, the start to no end, they are state workers, they get paid very well, by our tax paying citizens, so they make work, by making problems that don’t exist, if they don’t have work they don’t have a job. Yes, real abuse and problems do exist, but clearly it shows that the children who do need help is just to much work. I have had this department in my life, and they are nothing but trouble, they twist and turn words, they pick and choose what they want to hear, they pressure you, harass, threaten, they do everything they can to make you do everything you don’t want to, but in fear, the mistakes are made. Then slowly you realize they have you, the paper here you signed, that one, all the ones that they smile as they tell you it’s just routine. It’s all just bullshit. They are supposed to give you an informational booklet the first time you see them. They don’t, and if you do receive one, it is then after they are gone for that day you realize they just got you. Violated you and your rights. So now they have you, and if you don’t do exactly what they say they will file neglect charges against you and take your child or children. Over a simple form you signed which meant you agreed to work with them.

So your family starts falling apart, your child or children are now being questioned by the school, then more visits, you find your child or children in distress because the school is asking more questions more freequently. Your being harrased and so aren’t innocent children. And it just gets worse, and they just don’t stop, and all you can think about is ” why the hell did I let them in my home”

I started my homework, reading, contacting people, advocacy groups, going through laws, my rights. And realized all the wrong they did. That they continue to do, and that is why corruptct exsists. Because as a parent I felt compelled to help educate parents, because DCF can cause a lot of heart ache, and do more damage to your children than you can imagine. The people I have spoken to, the stories I have heard, it breaks my heart to know that a child has a price tag, yes, a price tag. If the department of children and families takes your child they make money. And that is why so many children are removed from fully functional homes, and put in foster care. And to know that all you had to do to prevent it was to shut the door and tell them to come back with a warrant.

We need to step up, stand together and fight them. They have no feelings, they could care less, as long as they go back to the boss with something to work on then they had a great day. Let’s stop this, these children are our future. These are our children PROTECT them. Educate yourself.

I have spent months doing so, and it is my safety net to the webs they weave. There are class action suits being worked on, but in the meantime families are still being ripped apart.
