What if the people sworn to protect your child were the ones you had to fear most?

This is the terrifying true account of a family trapped inside what one relative described as a horror film. It begins with a father's reckless act in a hospital room, a tragedy that should have been the end of their ordeal. But for a mother and her family—including Evelyn Harper, a publicist from an affluent community whose own past revealed a history of shocking DCF overreach—it was just the beginning of a nightmare so profound they would wonder if they were still living in America.

They experienced an authoritarian apparatus with unchecked power and chilling procedures reminiscent of authoritarian regimes. This bureaucratic monster ignored the very incident it was called in to investigate, fabricated claims, and defied all logic. And yet, in Fairfield County, Connecticut—the most educated county in the United States—this case should have been an example of compassion and democratic integrity. Instead, it became the shocking illustration of a system that is a menace and destructive force to the very families it claims to serve.

Torn Apart at Birth is a gut-wrenching exposé that reads like a true crime thriller. It's a chilling true account of how, in America, a government agency can wield unchecked power and act without accountability—and why this landmark case proves the system must be defunded and torn down. Fueled by the agency's vengeance, the conclusion delivers a haunting twist of poetic justice—and a shocking turn in the mother's life, revealed only in these pages.

If you think this story cannot happen to you, think again.
