At a hearing Thursday, before the New York State Assembly Committee on Children and Families, impacted parents, defenders, and advocates testified in favor of legislation at the city and state levels that would ensure that all parents are informed of their right to consult an attorney and are made aware of their existing rights at stake at the start of an investigation, when critical decisions about their families are made. Similar to the well-established Miranda warnings provided to an individual when they are placed under arrest in a criminal case, Family Miranda Rights legislation would require family regulation workers to disclose essential information to parents and caretakers at the time an investigation begins.
