Hi I am a mother, whose life has been destroyed by an agency that was supposed to be there to provide services and protect family's but it is this very agency that has destroyed my family. My autistic son was placed in a home with a foster mother who was not trained or certified by the city or the state of New York. While in her custody his leg was broken. During a home visit when I undressed he for the first time I seen the scaring on his body that was hidden underneath his clothing. I immediately noticed when I turned on the water he began screaming which told me he had a fear of water. He seemed terrified I could only wonder what this woman had done to my child. This woman had not been arrested nor any action taken against her. However when I was two hours late from picking my son up from school I was placed under arrest and my child returned to the very system I just got him out of. Since then I have now had a newborn I still haven't got my first child back and now they wish to take my newborn. I don't know who to turn to for help. I want to sue ACS for what they have done to my family.
