Mr. Peabody and Sherman learn about the
Orphan Trains

Gee, Mr. Peabody, things are sure bad for kids now.  They don't know from day to day if they will be picked up, have some CPS pervert look at their private parts, take them to some strange place and dope them up and never see their mommy or daddy again.  Has it ever been this bad anytime in history?

Sherman, yes dear boy. In the late 1800's to early 1900's the ORPHAN TRAINS got so bad that people were BEATING UP SPCC (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) agents to keep them from SNATCHING THE KIDS.  In fact, only after a lawsuit did the entire farce collapse.  The first step was disbanding SPCC and reorganizing it into the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Gee, Mr. Peabody!  You mean these people are still around today?

OH YES, Sherman, Set the WABAC machine to 1879 and let's go see what the ORPHAN TRAINS were all about!
