In Victorian Britain, behind the lace curtains and polite manners, something monstrous was happening.  In crowded rented rooms and shadowed alleyways, infants were disappearing.  They were not being placed in the loving arms of new parents, but into filthy cribs and shallow graves.  

So, turn up the volume, my spooky friends.  You are about to hear the tale of one of Britain’s biggest sins - the business of baby farming.  But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up.  Today, we will be talking about the abuse and murder of children.  Listener discretion is advised.
