The absolute worst. The will deliberately lie under oath and yet call the parent deceitful. Very sad how they keep families apart for a paycheck and not follow their own policies. They “have concerns” but will not tell you what they are. They will lie about your records even though their name is tied to the documents. Sad identical service plan from Family Core case in Peoria county was used in another state and I got my child back out of state, but caseworker used manipulation and lies to get my rights terminated to my children. They refused to get DNA test for my children’s father after he asked repeatedly for it so he could do services and see his girls. They all need psychological evaluations themselves as the caseworker I have liked to talk about she wished her baby daddy was locked up for child support. Do your job and help people not destroy what they are struggling to get back. I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy. They will lie on other caseworkers from different agencies with no actual proof of what is being said to be true. If you can prove they are lying in court seriously talk to the state’s attorney’s office and go after them for contempt. All they is criminals and take parents to court at a civil level. Fight for criminal charges and prosecution if you can prove your caseworker has lied. You fight for your kids, fight for the injustice of the criminal activity this agency does to your families.
I had an experience I was to ashamed to share around 7 years ago, with Sharon M as a counselor. I wound up losing my son at a time when I was most certainly fighting for my life on more than one front. She refused to testify in Dcfs court and I had to establish a new counselor, she was probably one of the first major failings that violated my right civilly and as a human and mother. Reading the comments just further solidifies the fact that she was a gateway for Dcfs to legally steal, sell, and use my child and my life as a means to an end. I hope you all feel what awful human beings you are when you look in the mirror, or look at your own family. People shouldn’t be abandoned by their counselors the second Dcfs gets involved, y’all should be ashamed.
I mean the reviews speak for themselves.. it’s sad that a place trusted to unite families together would still be able to operate after so many negative experiences. They should be investigated internally to see what’s really going on. It seems to me they don’t actually want to unite families back together and would rather put children into foster care with complete strangers. They should never be allowed to do this. Let alone around the holidays. Sick and cruel.
Family Core is twisted in the game of politics. They tear healthy, loving families apart and use the kids as pawns to get a paycheck from the State.
The absolute worst place. Everyone employed here should be ashamed. Disgusting people. Only working for a damn paycheck. If you were here and you’re reading this review, I hope you understand the pain you’ve put my family through.
They do NOT KNOW how to use a phone you call or text your caseworker and she never answers or texts you back .This is no way to treat children in care or foster parents who have opened their homes. The children did nothing to be in this situation and as a group we (foster parents and agency) are supposed to be here for the children! I only gave 1star because it made me. This is unacceptable
This place is horrible. They take children out of good homes for no reason at all. Not right at all.
This place is very unorganized and they will lie to you to the bitter end. My sons mother and her boyfriend were in a domestic dispute and I was contacted by the agency to get involved since I am his father and since then they have given me the hardest time about my child and I will be looking to file a law suit against this agency for they have violated so many of my rights and my child’s rights. If you can have your judge request a new agency I’d do so because this place does gaslight children and lie to there families.
They are very very professional,wonderful, and blessed at what they do from the supervisor, caseworker, caseaids, counseling, visits everything is so phenomenal. They make sure that parents and the child stay close together and they do everything in their power to make sure that kids are reunited with their parents. I love everyone down there at Family core they work their butts off to make sure everything is done right done right down to the last detail and always greet you with a beautiful smile. The kids and parents are their number 1 priority and they make sure of that. Im speaking from experience. Keep doing what u guys are doing you do a magnificent, wonderful job may God continue to bless each and everyone of you and your families many blessings to come. I will continue to say amazing things about u guys FAMILY CORE ROCKS😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
To the people who gave 5 stars on this, are you crazy? How much did Family Core pay you to say that? Family Core needs to be shut down. They are liars and deceivers. How can the case workers get away with filing false court documents is beyond me. They need to be held in contempt of court.
This place is a straight up JOKE and should be shut down they have no idea how to properly do their job and their copy and paste reports are a joke the mother of my child a convicted felon who had her SECOND COKE BORN BABY was put as low risk and when we get to court they have some ladys drug test results in their report its a waste of tax dollars and they let the addicts get away with everything because they dont wanna make a decent effort to do whats truly right its a place that wants to just push these addicts out the door not actually careing about the children even the supervisors dont have a clue and wanna give legal advise to people when they are completely wrong I found this out the hard way shut them down NOW!!! Not to mention how they didnt show up to cpurtdate I could go on all day about this waste of tax dollars
The counseling services can be good if you get the right therapist. Be very careful who you pick. Make sure that person won’t be prejudice against you.
Horrible place. Very unfriendly and unknowledgeable people working here. This place has staff who is good at lying and unconcerned about clients or kids. No one that works here has any kind of intelligence. These people only care about a paycheck.
Very polite staff and easy to find. The parking lot is a bit small but theres always street parking.
Great place for child welfare services and support.
Family Core has excellent counseling services.
Does nothing for the children except make matters to unbareable
They are always helpful and friendly.
The counseling is outstanding
Not sure what it is.
Horrible place.
