"Regarding the DCS workers involved in this case, I have a moral obligation to warn other parents who may fall victim to this Kangaroo court system. Those "threats" were real, they were not "erratic" and had full merit. Those workers will be held permanently accountable for what they have done to me and my family. I'm extremely curious as to how many other innocent parents were wronged in this charade veiled under the umbrella of justice and protecting children. I have a moral obligation to warn others, lest they fall into the same gambit I fell into.Do your work, Dean. God is with us, so then who is really against us when we have the moral high ground? " September 3, 2019, email from Michael Robertson to attorney, Dean O'Conner (cc: Alison Botta, Lisa Millett and Joelle Higby).
Arizona Department of Child Safety is a social services government agency assisting families in the protection of children and interventions to strentheng the family unit through parenting assistance.
The present Director of Arizona Department of Child Safety was elevated to that postion with no experience or background in child welfare delivery or family services in the United States.
The website for DCS boasts this wholly unqualified government official coming to Arizona Department of Child Safety with 15 years aerospace experience:
"Mike found working in child welfare to be extraordinarily rewarding. He officially joined the Child Safety team in December 2016 as Deputy Director where he continued to support strategic planning, projects and management system definition across state agencies."
"Before joining the state, Mike spent over 15 years in the aerospace manufacturing industry in various capacities including general management, value stream management, manufacturing engineering and continuous improvement. Mike's hands-on approach and ability to practically apply lean manufacturing concepts to human services delivery has made a lasting impact on Arizona's child welfare system. Key contributions include the elimination of the 16,000 inactive case backlog, safe reduction of Arizona's out-of-home care population by 25 percent, integration of behavioral and physical healthcare for children in care, increased financial supports for kinship, and replacement of the child welfare data management system."
To view the unqualifictions of this DCS govenment official, Mike Faust's official biograpy is listed on dcs.az.gov:
https://dcs.az.gov/about/administration/dcsdirector
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey appointed this unqualified individual to the directorship of Arizona DCS, who has been the main source of Complaints and lawsuits against the department since his tenure:
DCS boasts "aerospace manufacturing" experience, but his biography on dcs.az.gov does not list what airline companies the DCS Director had worked 15 years prior to becoming Director:
On Google, there is no past online presence with references to his past in the aeromspace industry, except for what Doug Ducey and Michael Robertson has posted on Google:
The Arizona DCS Complaints include Mike Faust's own employees giving him an "F" grade for his incompetent management at the department:

Now ABC15 has learned the seven children were left in Hobson’s care for years after they, and others, alerted the Arizona Department of Child Safety and the City of Maricopa Police Department to the horrors happening behind closed doors.
