If I talk to a DCF Worker in Massachusetts, is that Confidential?

The answer is it is not confidential, meaning that the DCF worker can tell his/her supervisor, people in his/her office, can also tell a Judge everything that you say to him/her.  DCF will make written reports including dictation.  So, it is important that what you talked to DCF about in substance and in style are valid because they might be reported to the court or determination about what steps DCF would take.
