Tangisode: Amelia Dyer, Baby Farming, Blood Money, and the Thames

Listener discretion advised: This tangisode discusses infant death, baby farming, murder, child neglect, and Victorian-era adoption abuses.
In this tangisode of Dressed for the Grave, we wade into the foggy, filthy waters of Victorian England to tell the story of Amelia Dyer, one of Britain's most infamous baby farmers. Behind the lace bonnets, newspaper ads, and polite promises of "care," Dyer built a business on desperation, shame, and blood money. For unmarried mothers, poor families, and women with nowhere safe to turn, baby farming was sold as a solution. In Dyer's hands, it became a graveyard with a receipt book.
