On January 10, 1996 the Administration For Children’s Services (ACS) was created as the first agency devoted solely to serving children and their families. Childrens’ Services mission is to ensure the safety and well-being of New York City children.
The goals of ACS include:
- No child we come into contact with will be left to struggle alone with abuse or neglect
- No family who needs and wants help to keep their children safe will be left without the help it needs
- Every child we come into contact with will get the help (s)he needs to be healthy and achieve his/her full educational and developmental potential.
- No child in our care will leave us without a caring, committed, permanent family.
ACS is an agency in turmoil that fails thousands of children in New York City, many in Staten Island.
