Starting in October, social workers investigating possible child abuse or neglect for the state Department of Children and Families will have to give parents a written notice of their rights, roughly comparable to the famous Miranda warnings that police give to crime suspects.
“Even sophisticated people believe they must speak to DCF,” said Ellington lawyer Michael H. Agranoff, whose office drafted the new law and advocated it for a decade.
