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.

In the state of Georgia if DFACS opens an investigation into your home what do you have to do to get them to close it?
It really depends on what specifically your family has been accused of and how old your children are. Although DFACS has a statewide policy and procedures manual things often vary from county to county.

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. It typically outlines specific steps and resources for families to follow, including identifying safe caregivers, setting up support services, and addressing any immediate safety concerns. The plan is developed collaboratively with families and may involve social workers, community agencies, and other support systems to create a stable and protective environment for the child.

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 do you give anonymous tips to dfacs?
To give anonymous tips to the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), you can typically call their hotline or submit an online report through their official website. Many states have dedicated numbers for reporting suspected abuse or neglect, which allow you to remain anonymous. You can also contact local law enforcement if immediate action is needed. Always ensure that you provide as much detail as possible to assist in the investigation.
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.
