Mission Statement

Our mission statement is clear:

1. DCF is, today, where the police were a century ago.

2. We believe in law and order and the need for a police force. But sometimes, the police go too far, and the rights of people must be protected. Much progress has been made in the past century.

3. Similarly, we believe in child protection and the need for DCF. But sometimes DCF goes too far, and the rights of families must be protected.

4. DCF is relatively new and most people are not aware of its powers. It will take many years to get the need for protection from DCF abuses understood, the way that protection from police abuses is taken for granted today. But we are committed to it.

5. Therefore, we believe in child protection, we believe in child welfare, and we believe in family rights and Constitutional rights.

6.  Our mission is to help protect children and families who are in difficulty with DCF.
