What is difus? Or is it Dyfus?

What is DIFUS? Or is it DYFUS?

My mom is always threatening to put me in DIFUS (or DYFUS; I’m not sure how to spell it), and I’m trying to look it up to understand what it’s like so that I’ll have an idea of what to expect if I end up there. However, when I searched for it, I only found negative information, like "my children were taken away by DIFUS" and similar stories. Is it real? Is there a website for it? (If the offices are state-wide, I live in New Jersey.) My mom often threatens to call them to take me away, but when I read about it, it seems like DIFUS is more about taking children from parents. Anyway, thanks in advance for your help!

That NJ DIVISION OF YOUTH AND FAMILY SERVICES DYFS

a child is removed only of they are in danger of their parents. A child goes to foster care or a shelter becuase their lives were in danger, not because you misbehave. If you the child is doing something illegeal than the place you go is jail… DYFS is not for bad kids, but children that were hurt severly by their parents….
