Contesting Coerced DCFS Safety Plans
Now Playing: Hope for the Kids and Families

It's appalling how these social workers operate...one of the sickest things is taking fearful parents and forcing them to sign up to a "safety plan" that they know parents won't be able to complete...because it will mean too much time of work or something.

Looks like they're doing something about it in Illinois!

Judge: DCFS Threats To Families Violated Rights
State Accused Of 'Destroying Families, Hurting Children'

POSTED: 7:15 am CST March 15, 2005
UPDATED: 7:23 am CST March 15, 2005

CHICAGO -- A federal judge has ruled that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services violated families' constitutional rights when the agency threatened to separate parents from their children during abuse investigations.

etc....

"When an investigator expressly or implicitly conveys that failure to accept a plan will result in the removal of the children for more than a brief or temporary period of time, it constitutes a threat sufficient to deem the family's agreement coerced, and to implicate due process rights," Pallmeyer wrote in her 59-page opinion.

"The judge gave DCFS 60 days to develop a plan for families to contest the safety plans."
