I had to google dyfs. Division of Youth and Family Services. A child protection agency.

When I lived in GA, it was called DFACS..
Every state has it's own name for it. The "mission" seems to get a little fuzzy (read predictable) sometimes..

We still refer to it as DFaCS... Dep.t of Family and Childrens Services.......
Like anything else, if used as originally intended, it is a useful tool..... but sadly, there are a lot of folks who use DFACS as a weapon (like ex husbands, family... and I've seen neighbors use it to get 'even' with neighbors during arguments)...... I actually heard a woman in Wal-mart talking about someone saying that "she was good minded to call DFACS on that bitch for calling animal control on her dogs."

Someone I know who works with DFACS once told me that over 75% of the investigations that are triggered by 'call-ins' are unwarranted.

I have a "No Soliciting" sign that I point to when solicitors ring my bell.

Now I've ordered one of these for this kind situation.

We had an incidental brush with DYFS years ago. They basically have Gestapo powers here in NJ. They can act on any complaint, any observation, any phone call, any fart in the wind. They can take your children and ask questions later. They can interrogate your children, take whatever stories they can develop, and lock you up. It's one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

Of course, our situation wasn't direct, just associated with something they were working on, but they wanted to get all up in our stuff to "interview" our kids about this other situation. We told them to go have anal sex with themselves and we got away with it.  Scary stuff though.
