==Criticisim==
The DCFS agencies have been accused of several cases of corruption in the past in regards to the agency terminating [[parental rights]] for families of healthy children regardless of a lack of actual proof of child abuse occurring in households, with minors in DCF custody subsequently dying within assisted living facilities or suffering physical harm due to the poor condition of DCF housing facilities.
[[Conservatives]] have sometimes accused the agency of carrying out biased actions in the performance of their duties, with DCF having likely pressed criminal charges of child abuse against conservative [[Christian]] family homes in the past for often nonrealistic purposes.
One of the most bizarre cases of a child being removed from their home by DCF and [[police officer]]s in the past, for instance, included the [[New Jersey]] agency claiming a girl's parents violated state abuse laws by [[homeschool]]ing their daughter rather then enrolling her in a [[public school]].
