They took the kids. They are making me look like a bad guy. Everything is blamed on me. Just want to know why.
A:
In Arizona, the Department of Child Safety (DCS) typically intervenes in family situations when there are concerns about the safety and well-being of children. This can include allegations of neglect, abuse, or other harmful environments. If DCS has removed your children from the home, it's likely because they believe the children could be at risk.
To understand specifically why you're being portrayed negatively or why certain actions were taken, you should first review all communications and documentation provided by DCS. It's crucial to get a clear understanding of the specific concerns or allegations made against you.
Additionally, it would be wise to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law or child welfare law. A lawyer can help you navigate the system, advocate on your behalf, and advise you on the best steps to address the allegations and work towards reunification with your children. Engaging with legal counsel can also help ensure that your rights are protected throughout the process.
