Massachusetts DCF (DSS) Law
In Massachusetts, the surge in abuse and neglect reports, particularly from mandated reporters like school administrators and healthcare professionals, has put many loving parents under scrutiny. Even well-intentioned actions can trigger a 51A report, leaving parents vulnerable to investigations by the powerful Department of Children and Families (DCF). These reports, often stemming from minor concerns or anonymous tips, can result in the removal of a child from their home before parents can challenge the decision in court. Ianiri Law LLC recognizes the gravity of these situations, especially in cases of alleged "medical child abuse," where parents advocating for their child’s health can face accusations simply for seeking second opinions on diagnoses, as exemplified in the widely-publicized Justina Pelletier case.
We have successfully handled complex cases involving conditions like mitochondrial disease, PANDAS, Ehler Danlos Syndrome (EDS), shaken baby syndrome, and suspected physical abuse, safeguarding both parental rights and the well-being of the children involved.
Ensuring Child Safety
If you find yourself facing an investigation by the Department of Children and Families, or worse, if your child has been removed from your home or is at risk of removal, immediate consultation with a specialized DCF attorney is imperative. Our expertise spans DCF Law and also extends to criminal law, given that many DCF interventions can lead to criminal prosecutions. With a profound understanding of DCF protocols, juvenile and probate courts, and the criminal justice system, we stand ready to protect your constitutional rights and, most importantly, secure the safety and stability of your children, sparing them the trauma of unnecessary foster care placements.
