ever hear of this? In Victorian times, well dressed children were lured away and had their clothes removed by female criminals. I'm sure it was shown in some period dramas

Too morbid?

Mary Wade stripped another little girl of her dress and petticoats and gave them to a pawn shop.

Yes, I've heard of that in several shows. Wasn't it mentioned on something recently, maybe Ripper Street or Copper ?
