Hidden War

Who needs "reality TV", when America's most sordid drama is going on under our noses? The endless saga of parental kidnapping continues. Underground Watch is a small grassroots organization that tries to locate abductors. One of their targets is Atlanta activist Faye Yager, who runs (so it's said) a worldwide "underground railroad" (documented in soft-focus by photographer and Yager sympathizer Allan Detrich) which, critics say, helps women who've lost custody cases to abscond, with the children.

Reading the stories, and following the characters involved, summons equal parts righteous indignation, Jerry-Springer-style "what's gonna happen next", and revulsion.

More to come.
