Family attorney Gregory Hession blows the whistle on state child
protective services agencies

Hession’s articles in The New American magazine confirms engagement of
CPS agencies in deliberate, dirty tricks motivated by federal funding.

Appleton, Wis.—Every year thousands of families are forcibly separated
from their children based on unsubstantiated or outright false
allegations of child abuse. Gregory Hession, a practicing constitutional
and family law attorney in Mass., says that for these families, the
nightmare has only begun. Children in child protective services (CPS)
have been abused, wounded, brain washed, drugged, adopted out and some
have even died. Hession has represented scores of these families and has
dedicated himself to exposing CPS abuses and reuniting loving, deserving
families. He documents CPS abuses in the July 23, 2007, issue of The New
American magazine.

Hession’s articles highlight true stories of families who have been
targeted by CPS agencies. All the families discussed are Hession’s clients.

Hession writes that state CPS agencies continually yank children out of
good, loving homes based on flimsy allegations of child abuse. He
asserts that the child protection business generates so much money, and
employs so many social workers, therapists, lawyers and other
professionals, that it needs a steady flow of cases to keep all of these
workers employed. In Mass., the cost of these state services totals into
the billions of dollars, which the state can leverage to obtain
prodigious quantities of federal reimbursement.

In 2005, more than 3.3 million reports involving 6 million children were
made to state child-abuse hot lines. The vast majority of these
eventually proved to be untrue. Statistics from the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services show 40 percent of allegations are initially
screened out. Of the remaining 60 percent, nearly two-thirds of
child-abuse investigations are unsubstantiated. Yet, more than 500,000
children are currently in foster care and another 300,000 or so are
forcibly removed from their homes by the system every year.

Hession states that genuine child abuse obviously does exist and those
involved in its practice need to be persecuted to the full extent of the
law. However, he writes that most people would likely disagree with CPS
in how it defines abuse or neglect. Families are attacked for
home-schooling or spanking their children, for not overseeing all play
activities, or for when a child as an accident. Only a small percentage
of the 3.3 million reported cases annually prove to be genuine abuse,
and the system does a bad job of sorting it out.

The articles conclude that millions of children are imperiled by this
imperious, abusive CPS system, which works quietly without much public
scrutiny. Change will likely come only when the cruelties have been
exposed, and the public reaffirms that raising children is the
responsibility of families, not the state.

Hession describes his law office as being set up to fight for people who
are battling government tyranny and political correctness. He focuses on
cases fighting restraining orders and Department of Social Services
kidnappings of children from families, as well as defending property
rights against conservation commissions, defending the right to home
school, and to bear arms, as well as criminal defense in all these
matters. He is particularly concerned with the right to life and
religious free speech matters. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in
music, and earned a law degree from Western New England College of Law
in 1993. His law office is in Springfield, Mass. He has experience in
federal and state courts, and with many kinds of litigation, from civil
rights to criminal defense. He is president of Family Legal Services,
Inc., which provides legal services on a sliding scale fee basis, and
Constitutional Legal Institute of New England, Inc., both non-profit
Mass. corporations.
