NYC parents file class action suit against child services
Newsy
A Brooklyn mother, and eight other parents are represented in a new class action lawsuit in federal court by the Family Justice Law Center.
Shalonda Curtis-Hackett says her pain is still intact.
"I wake up sometimes from dreams about having to go get my children from a place or from a stranger," she said. "I'm never in a space of healing. This is not a 'healed thing.' I'm not over it."
The mother of three in Brooklyn says her family’s nightmare began in 2021 when she received a call from New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services Agency.
"I received a phone call from an ACS worker stating that there is an allegation against me pertaining to my children," she said.
Curtis-Hackett says the ACS caseworker bullied, deceived and coerced her way into her home.
