The chapter delves into the appalling crimes of Georgia Tann, a woman in social work who kidnapped babies and sold children from poor families to wealthy individuals. It explores the historical context of orphan care post-industrialization, the orphan train initiative, and the societal view of adoption. The narrative also follows the tragic case of Rose Harvey and her son Onyx, who fell victim to Tann's exploitative practices amidst a backdrop of corruption and vulnerability.
Georgia Tann was a bad human. We feel safe in saying that because she kidnapped babies from poor families to sell to wealthy ones. Listen in if you can stomach it.
