Amelia Dyer was born and raised as a caregiver to her ailing mother, her older husband, and foster children. In her formal years, she also became a nurse and a midwife. Ultimately, Amelia was a trusted member of her community. However, the 1834 "Poor Law Amendment Act" changed everything, at least for Amelia. Between the combination of her upbringing and her need to survive, Amelia took a turn that changed how today's adoption system is perceived. Join Deb and Beth as we take a trip to England to settle the score on a Victorian predator whom no one would suspect was among them until it was too late.
