[[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 [[social worker]]s 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]].

In early 2014, another similarly bizarre case saw the [[California]] DCFS and police officers remove a newly born infant from the home of a young couple after the child's parents asked doctors for a second opinion in order to avoid a life-threatening surgical procedure on their son. The charges were eventually dropped and their son was returned to the couple after it was ruled that the beliefs of the two did not amount to abuse of their child.
