I think this (to varying degrees) has been going on since circa 1850. Recall the Orphan trains which didn't end till 1929. In the 21st century it has become the money trains. Those that have the power & means to stop it do nothing except setup fund raisers and "Foundations" to harvest the young. Damn sickening.
