This review is from: Hide in Plain Sight: The True Story of How the United States Government and Organized Crime Kept a Man From his Own Children (Paperback)

In 1976,long before governmental seizure of children from parents became Big Business, the US Justice department conspired to place Thomas Leonhard's children in a secret location with a violent step-father and a malicious and irresponsible mother. The father, responsible and loving was rebuffed by law enforcement and numerous federal judges. After putting the children in danger, they failed to monitor the apparent danger, then used "danger" as an excuse to prevent access.
The book sderves as an ideal complement to Stephen Baskerville's expose ("Taken Into Custody," 2007) of government corruption in present-day mass child abduction. A breezy, riveting read.
