      Someone hateful has targeted my children tonight. The lowest moment of my life as a leader. Pray for us. We’re safe, but deeply humiliated.

      Tonight my daughter was scheduled to star in a lead role in a musical here in NYC. We're all dressed & ready & excited. 20 minutes before the musical began, I got a phone call from the doorman of the building we live in that someone was there to provide childcare for our kids.

      We don't hire and have never hired outside childcare for our kids. I knew immediately that something was very wrong. I asked my doorman again who was there. He said "a woman is here and she wants to talk to you about childcare for your kids."

      Right away, I thought that either a stalker had come to our apartment or that someone was there to play a cruel joke of some kind on my family. We worked very hard to hide the address of our home. I asked our doorman to put the person on the phone.

      The woman on the other end then DEMANDED to see three of my children. She called them by name. And said that she had to see them immediately. At this point, I literally tell her "Yeah the fuck right you are about to see my kids." What she said next got me.

      She said she worked for New York Child Services (ACS) and that a formal complaint had been filed that my wife and I had abandoned our children and allowed them to do drugs. I kid you not. Still I didn't believe she was who she said she was.

      I asked her if she knew who I was at all. She said she didn't. But that she needed to see me and my children immediately. And that she needed to come wherever I was to see them I was not home because she believed my children were in danger. I kid you not.

          I told her I needed to speak to her supervisor at ACS. She then put me in touch with her supervisor, who then said if I did not allow New York Child Services to interview my children that they were going to call the police.

          I then told the supervisor again at New York Children's Services that somebody had played a cruel prank on my family and on them. She didn't care. She didn't understand. And just couldn't believe that such a thing happened.

          I asked the supervisor, "Who made this report?" And she literally said it was an anonymous report and that they had no information on the person who filed it. Let me make something very clear in my next tweet. Just as I said to them on the phone.

          Under no circumstances will anybody from the NYPD or New York Children's Services be speaking to anybody in my family. I'm going to have to be in violation of New York law, but you will not force my children to participate in a single interview over a false complaint. PERIOD.

          I wrote to you awhile back about similar issues I was having DCS! I hope that you can start a movement with this... the abuse of power needs to be stopped! Dealing with them is a NIGHTMARE!!!

          Ikr. "No more wire hangers!" DCS has to investigate . It would appear that Mr. King doesn't like rules. 😩

          Why did you ask her if she knew who you were? So, you think the DCS should only investigate people who are nobody's. You really think you're something. It is their job to investigate all reports. You should cooperate even if it's a lie.
