If Georgia Tann was good at anything, it was creating co-conspirators, unfailing supporters of her work and methods. She had her low level spotters. Folks who would deliver milk to poor areas and tell her about children they’d found that fit the description on her wishlist. Blonde, blue eyed baby girl. Check. Nurses who’d tell her about unwed pregnant women who might need her “help.” And then she would just go and take the children without any kind of consequence or repercussion. Today I’m telling you the story of her team of high level co-conspirators. This level of evil doesn’t happen in a vacuum. This level of evil required the consent of doctors, lawyers, judges and senators. And Georgia somehow had them all in her pocket.
