Forestdale Inc — Local services in New York

My grandbaby was taken from the hospital after birth, I was supposed to have visits with baby as of Monday, Today is Thursday, still no visit, Agency claimed that the baby will need a neck brace to move around..I have six other of my grandchildren, took care from birth, never had issues moving them around..One was a premature baby as well as the newborn now..I feel they hiding something from me..Very cheap n not professional, This is the worst agency to deal with, workers not professional. They covering up for most foster parents and their families, My granddaughter were very sick, treated very badly by foster parent,, when my granddaughter came to visit me, she complained how fostermom hit her, plus stopped her from drinking water in the night, knowing her throat were very dry n she was very hot and sweaty, her throat was hurting her, Her pajamas were wet due to sweating, Foster mom ignored her cry for help. Fostermom beat her because she had diarrhea and messed her underwear and hid it under the bed because she was so scared of cruel fostermom, when she came to visit me, she complained, she was actually looking for help, when confront foster parent, he wanted to fight with eldest sister, because of that the stop unsupervised visits with children in care, and me plus eldest siblings. My grandson were staying with same foster families snd little sisters, he was so tormented by foster families yelling and screaming at him, that his head were always hurting, bled through his nose many times. He even ran away from their home, he was in a park, he were beaten by two kids in park, he was scared, a stranger called me and said my grandson wanted to talk to me, he was a tractor trailer driver, he give the phone to my grandson to talk to me. I was so upset at foster families for treating him bad, he could have gotten kidnapped, Foster family neither Foster care agency workers did not call the police or try to make a report. All they did was remove him alone from said Foster home and leave 3 other siblings there. I feel i was treated very badly by cas planner, and her supervisors. They never get nothing done on time. They put all blame on Pandemic.. Very lazy case planner. There is so much to tell about my grandchildren in care and the bad treatment they've gotten from school bullying and more and foster care worker do not really care, they're covering up for cruel foster families. I been with Forestdale agency for two years and haven't completed my Foster Parent training, never gotten my certificate, everytime i asked case planner about classes, she would say, I will let you know..Upside down workers. I have so many to tell, i can write a book. They stopped me from seeing and talking to my grandchildren unless its supervised by case planner. Families you need to speak up.Fosterparents brainwashed our children into saying no to many abuse in their home. Plus forcing kids to say they don't want to go back home to their parents. Please fight for your rights. So my grandson was released from Fostercare on 12/02/2022 to me. His other 4 siblings remain in Fostercare. The only reason he was released, is because he sent emails to case workers, supervisors, his mom and me. He had to speak up for himself. Case workers scared so they rushed to court and file papers to release him, without a proper discharge from his Doctor Miss bloom until now. My grandson suffered a lot in Fostercare, he was bullied, beaten and choke by 15 year old foster brother, My grandson came home sick, without his tested eye glasses and with few clothing that can hardly fit him. My grandson said he has been complaining about being constipated for many days and over two years,the doctors did nothing to help him. He said last two or three weeks he went to see doctor Bloom and told her about being constipated again and she did nothing to help him again. My grandson said Jennifer Goldstein had told him to say he didn't want to go back home to his mom. So much more to say. So my smallest granddaughter who is 4 years old, are not being cared for as...

All these people do in there is lie and separated your family. 4 children all gone from my care because they lack the understanding of a happy relationship. They claim to be domestic violence in my home. My name is Candice Williams, and I, along with my partner Alyis Sledge, am the biological parent of four children, ages 8, 6, 5, and 4. In 2018, my first child was removed from my custody due to an allegation of panhandling while I was pregnant with my second child. Subsequently, my second, third, and fourth children were removed derivatively based on allegations of neglect and domestic violence. I would like to state clearly that I have never reported or experienced domestic violence in my home. I have never felt unsafe around my partner, and there has never been any substantiated claim of domestic violence presented in our home. Over the years, both my partner and I have complied with every service and program mandated by the court and child welfare agencies. Despite our compliance, we were only granted agency-supervised visits and were never given the opportunity to progress to unsupervised or home visits, even after completing required services. On August 4, 2025, Judge Shulman made the decision to terminate our parental rights to our 8-year-old, 6-year-old, and 5-year-old children. This decision was made without any fair or meaningful opportunity for us to demonstrate our growth and capability as parents. It felt as though the decision was pre-determined and lacked any consideration of the progress we made or the bond we continue to share with our children. Forestdale's decisions have caused us irreversible harm and separated our family despite our efforts to reunify and provide a stable home for our children. I hope that action will be taken to prevent other families from experiencing the same pain and...
