A grim landmark is made in public transportation. Also, apologies for the sound--we're working on a new location that hopefully won't have a refrigerator humming in the background for 40 minutes. You should see improvements soon!

Old Timey Crimey #117: Butterbox Babies - "Less Than Ideal"
Friday Jun 11, 2021
Friday Jun 11, 2021
The OTC gang is finally in person again! With mixed feelings about it. This week, discussing the Ideal Maternity Home and the Butterbox Babies. We drill down to talk about how this institution got away with, quite likely, literally murdering babies for years; the differences between a legit adoption and an Ideal adoption; and how society's treatment of single mothers has and hasn't changed over the decades.
Also, Hemingway yowls in the background.
