They have a right to interview the child without your permission or knowledge. You have the right to retain an attorney to protect you. For further information, visit http://www.ellifritzlaw.com

Child protective certainly do have the power to interview the child without a parent being present. The reason for this is so that the child may speak freely about his/her concerns. If you believe DCFS will take the matter further you should retain an attorney at the earliest opportunity to assist you.
