Department of Social Services

Read a random definition: poisonous-tree doctrine

A quick definition of Department of Social Services:

Department of Social Services (DSS) is a place where people go to get help with things like food, housing, and money. They also help protect children who may be in danger. Sometimes they are also called Child Protective Services.

A more thorough explanation:

The Department of Social Services, abbreviated as DSS, is a government agency responsible for providing social services to individuals and families in need. One of the services provided by DSS is Child Protective Services, which aims to protect children from abuse and neglect.

A family is reported to DSS for suspected child abuse. DSS investigates the situation and determines that the child is indeed being abused. DSS then takes action to remove the child from the abusive environment and provide necessary services to the family to prevent future abuse.

This example illustrates how DSS, specifically Child Protective Services, works to protect vulnerable children from harm and provide support to families in need.
