The Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) in Georgia was established in 1937 as part of the state's efforts to provide social services to vulnerable populations, particularly children and families. It has evolved over the years to address various issues related to child welfare, family support, and protective services. DFCS's primary mission is to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to promote family stability.

It really depends on what specifically your family has been accused of and how old your children are.

What is a safety plan with dfacs?
A safety plan with the Division of Family and Children Services (DFACS) is a structured approach designed to ensure the well-being of children at risk of abuse or neglect.

Can the Division of Family and Child Services take your child if you already have 6 in DFACS custody?
You haven't provided any details. Generally, if the conditions that resulted in the loss of custody still exist the answer is yes. Especially if the prior findings involve abuse and/or neglect.
How can you find out who has called defacs and made false allegations against someone?
To find out who has made false allegations to child protective services (such as DFACS), you can start by contacting the agency directly to inquire about the process and any potential avenues for filing a complaint. However, due to confidentiality laws, they may not disclose the identity of the caller. If you suspect defamation or have been wrongfully accused, consider consulting with a legal professional who can guide you on how to address the allegations and protect your rights.
Does DFACS consider a 17 year old an adult in Georgia?
No, you're still a child until 18; however, Georgia allows you to go to jail at 17, so that creates a bit of a loophole. Parents cannot kick out a child until age 18, but the child can leave on his/her own at 17 and cannot be forced to return. Be aware that you cannot sign any Contracts or Leases until age 18.
Do we have legal rights to turn away dfac if they don't have a court order?
Maybe. DFACs or CPS or whichever agency is responsible for child protection in your state has some authority to investigate without court involvement. This means that they can access some information, interview witnesses, and investigate without your permission. They may not be able to enter your home without a warrant, depending on the state and the circumstances. If you refuse to cooperate, they will continue to investigate and will get whatever is necessary without you.
Can soldiers wear headgear in a dfac?
In general, soldiers are required to follow specific uniform regulations, which typically prohibit the wearing of headgear, such as hats or helmets, inside dining facilities (DFACs) unless otherwise directed. However, exceptions may apply in certain situations, such as during specific training exercises or if the soldier has a medical reason. It's always best to consult the unit's guidelines or the DFAC policies to ensure compliance with the rules.
How long after an initial investigation does the Department of Family and Children's Services DFACS have to open a case?
The case is considered "open" at the time an investigation to a complaint is initiated. Generally the case worker has 30 days in which to make a decision as to the status of the case. This means the case worker will decide if neglect or abuse has occurred or if the child or children are at risk for neglect or abuse. If evidence indicates either situation then the required action as designated by the laws of the state in which the incident occurred will be taken.
What is the Dfacs protocol in GA?
The DFCS (Department of Family and Children Services) protocol in Georgia refers to the procedures and guidelines followed by the agency in addressing child welfare and protective services. It encompasses the process for reporting, investigating, and addressing allegations of child abuse or neglect. The protocol emphasizes the safety and well-being of children, collaboration with families, and the provision of support services. DFCS aims to ensure that children are protected while also working to strengthen family units whenever possible.
