Re: Fighting lieing dss
Suing DSS is expensive and not likely to succeed. The Attorney General represents them and will tie you up in paperwork and time-consuming procedure, at no cost to DSS. A civil-rights case might be better, but you have to prove they are lying and know it. If the original accusations came from someone other than DSS and they reasonably found cause to believe them true, you probably do not have a case.
The best, cheapest and simplest way is to do what DSS wants, and stop fighting. Your attitude is part of the problem.
