PARENTS BEWARE: Social media can be used in DCF investigations to support child abuse allegations.
Video captured the mother pulling the child’s hair, causing him to cry out in pain.
Her social media video contradicted her denial of abuse, showing her harming her child.
Tony (name changed) denied drinking to DCF, but social media photos proved otherwise.
While these photos were not proof of intoxication, they damaged his credibility.
Lola (not her real name) lost credibility when her Instagram profile picture showed her smoking a blunt, contradicting her claim of not smoking marijuana. While legal in Massachusetts, her photos undermined her credibility.
These stories serve as a warning about the dangers of social media. Anyone, including DCF during their investigations, can see what we post online.
