Author: Stephen Baskerville

'Taken into Custody' exposes the greatest and most destructive civil rights abuse in America today.

No parent, no child, no family in America is safe. The legal industry does not want you to hear this story. Radical feminists, bar associations, and social work bureaucracies have colluded to suppress this information. Even "pro-family" groups and civil libertarians look the other way. Yet it is a reality for tens of millions of Americans who are our neighbors.
