Dr George Hibbert knowingly misdiagnosed hundreds of parents as mentally ill, leading authorities to take their children away. He is currently being investigated by the General Medical Council, who have not yet made any charges against him.
Meanwhile, there has been little attention given to the story (although there is one story in the Daily Mail) and so far there is no discussion about what led local councils or social security to accept his diagnoses, there have been no changes to the system that allowed this to happen, and no steps have been taken to return these children to their parents.
These parents were grievoulsy wronged. Hibbert should be jailed, the children returned to their original families (and those families should be monetarily compensated as well for their grief) and the system that allowed this to occur should be scutinized and seriously reformed.
Demand justice for these families!
To Mr. Cameron and the Coalition Government:

This outrageous scandal is the modern equivalent of the forced child migration scandal of the 1970s - at least if something is not done to bring justicve to these wronged families.
Please make it a top priority to rectify this, reunite the families, and reform the system that allowed this to occur.
Signed,
