DYFSS stands for "Department of Youth and Family Support Services".  This
organization has been givne "carte blanc" in the state of New York to 
meddle in the affairs of anyone it want to bother.  It has even gon so 
fare as to try and force 12 Step organizations and Religeous leaders into 
becoming "informants".  Most licensed social workers are compelled to 
report even suspicions of domestic violence, drug abuse, alcholism, 
sexual misconduct, incest, or "other criminal activities or conspirisies"
directly to DYFSS.  If an incident occurrs, and it is later determined 
that the LSW had information that was not reported, they can lose their 
licenses.

This information is used to "intervene" in the family.  Children can be 
taken from either or both parents.  Women can be solicited into leaving 
their husbands.  Often "potential victims" are turned over to legal 
resources who will encourage the mother to divorce the father at his 
expense.

Finally, DYFSS is responsible for Child Support Enforcement.  They can 
force the mother to "turn in" the father if he ever tries to see his 
children after missing as little as 3 consecutive monthly payments.  They 
can "inspect" the mother's apartment at any time for signs of vermin, 
especially adult male companions.

For the social workers of DYFSS, it isn't about money, or the families.  
It's about power.  The visiting "councilor" can take almost any action 
she chooses.  If the children are healthy white infants (under 1 year old)
she can literally have the police officers pick up the baby for "trash on 
the floor".  Such children are worth over $100,000 in legal fees, 
evaluation fees, and councilling fees.

DYFSS would like to have the authority to do this.  In this country, 
taxation must be equally distributed.  In states with ERA amendments, the 
father cannot be disproportionally taxed.
