Josh Sabey and Sarah Perkins say their civil rights were violated after DCF workers and Waltham police officers showed up without a warrant to remove their two…

A couple whose children were removed from their home in the middle of the night has cleared a legal hurdle in their federal lawsuit against a handful of Massachusetts Department of Children and Families employees and Waltham police officers for violating their civil rights.

"It's a big victory to get past this hurdle and try to protect people from government overreach," Sabey told us. Health care workers who specialize in child abuse told NBC10 Boston that certain injuries in babies — including broken ribs — immediately raise suspicion and can trigger an in-depth evaluation. Doctors are required by law to report suspicions of child abuse or neglect to DCF.

The family thought the nightmare was over — until unexpected visitors arrived at their front door at 1 a.m.Police and DCF workers were there to make an emergency removal of the two children. They did not provide any paperwork to the parents that justified the drastic decision.
