Publisher's Synopsis
One would think that at least the youngest humans would be spared from the deeds of the people with twisted minds, but even they are not safe just like that. In this book, learn about the various cases where children were criminally taken away from their parents.
It has happened all over the world. A stranger appears at the bedside of a mother who has just given birth and plays upon the trust of the parents to trick them into handing over their child. Perhaps the person is dressed as a doctor, nurse, lab technician, or some other member of the medical staff, but whatever the case may be, their performance as an imposter is sufficient to spin a web of deception convincing enough to spring their trap. Other abductors eschew deception in favor of force or stealth. Some have pulled a gun on the mother and demanded their child; some have simply snatched up the infant when no one was looking.More often than not, the perpetrators of these crimes are women, although some claim that their demanding boyfriends or husbands put them up to it. Typically these women are either unable to have children of their own or have great difficulty in doing so. Some of them are depressed over recent miscarriages and wish to replace the baby they lost.Of course, this begs the question of why they don't simply use the proper channels to adopt a child who needs a home rather than stealing babies that don't belong to them. One answer is that many of them are unable to do so due to a criminal record, history of mental illness, or general instability. Anyone in any of those categories would most likely be denied conventional adoption. But as you will see from the cases in this book, even though the methodology is often similar, the reasons are legion when it comes to what motivates the hand that robs the cradle.
