One of the problems that you see is that DCF is trying to investigate your life and having screening questions to ask for broad based questions about all types of abuse and neglect.  Even if the allegation is false about why DCF originally came in, they find that the child or children are still at risk and that DCF would still need to know.  There is a real advantage and disadvantage of answering the questions, again, having an attorney or an advocate to help either be present during the interview or to talk to you before hand about which types of questions are relevant to answer or not answer.
