In this Episode 41 - recorded on January 19, 2024, Marjie, Barry and Kevin sit down with former prosecutor ('Assistant State's Attorney') Igor Bozic to talk about Juvenile Court -- and the RISKS that parents face in not maintaining a calm, steady atmosphere around their children at home.
How does the Illinois child-protection agency (DCFS) begin focusing on you and your family?
Screaming, yelling, throwing things in the house.
Being overheard by neighbors.
Having your kids witness arguments between the adults.
Teachers, social workers, counselors as 'mandated reporters' to DCFS.
Police and their duty to contact DCFS when kids are involved.
How can DCFS take custody of your newborn baby even when you've never abused or neglected her? (Yes, it can happen.)
What happens when DCFS knocks on your door for an unannounced home inspection?
Is there any good news in all this? (Yes!)
