More than 5,000 babies across the United States were abducted by a supposedly charitable organization between 1924 and 1950. The group targeted poor Southern families and developed a black market for white babies.

Child trafficking with a different face--but no less horrid, no less corrupt, and no less "connected." Finely tuned networks of corrupt judges, cops, mayors, doctors etc is how these wicked selfish slimeballs keep going without any comeuppance.

What's the word or phrase for the phenomenon of naming a thing the opposite of its purpose? Like here, "Children's Home Society" was really "Stealing Children From Homes Society". All these traffickers and wheelerdealers do this..setting up a front for their evildoings that draws in and dupes the well-meaning. So over it.

Lying?

It does seem to work like you say. And I have heard some bad things about "Child Protective Services" and what parts of it might really be.

So many dark rackets ongoing. Who are we as a culture? A species?

ETA: there was a woman who uncovered horrible scams like this where CPS would steal children. They went after her big time. She eventually did speaking tours about it. I'll have to see if I can find her again Nancy Shaeffer. SHe was murdered for her efforts:
