The Child Stealers: Phantom Social Workers – an American Mystery

If someone accused you of violently abusing your child, how would you react?

If strangers came to your home and insisted that you had mistreated or starved your toddler, would you maintain your composure?

What if the accusers told you – falsely – that they worked for the government?

What if they showed you badges, a court order and other documentation? What if they seemed to know everything about everyone in your household?

What if they demanded to take your child away?

When the “phantom social workers” (as they came to be called) swarmed over the U.K. in the 1990s, politicians and the public cried out for an investigation. Unfortunately, the British authorities pretended that these strange imposters do not exist.

But they do. This book offers conclusive proof.

The mystery began in the United States more than a hundred years ago. Some of these bizarre criminals have, in fact, abducted children. Some have even killed the parents. 

Over the decades, these “phantoms” have terrorized hundreds of families. Between the years 2010 and 2020, the United States experienced an extraordinary wave of phantom social worker encounters. You probably didn’t learn about these crimes because the national press won’t discuss the history and scope of this phenomenon. Journalists treat each new case as if it were the first. 

The phantom social workers have done truly disturbing things – nearly unspeakable things. Some theorists have posited a supernatural origin. 

This book demonstrates that these criminals are quite human. And for the first time, you’ll discover their true motive. 

A full year of investigation went into The Child Stealers, a magisterial overview containing 93,000 words and over four hundred endnotes. The research is truly original and groundbreaking. The stories are fascinating; the writing is both detailed and engaging. Everything is documented with exquisite care. 

In these pages, you’ll explore some of the most bizarre crimes in the nation’s history – and you’ll gather all the data you need to help solve one of the world’s most perplexing mysteries.
