Но, не знаю, имели ли они американский размах.
Отдельный нюанс. Можно ли утверждать, что эти дела фурыкали в годы Гражданской войны 1861—1865 годов? ))
"Например, о «сиротских поездах». Благодаря этой программе в конце 19 – начале 20 века больше двухсот тысяч детей были переправлены с перенаселённого востока США в приёмные семьи в центральных и западных штатах.
В основном это и в самом деле были сироты – но не все. Многих попросту отбирали у неблагополучных родителей, с городского дна Нью-Йорка и других крупных городов побережья. Программа «сиротских поездов» прекратилась только в двадцатых годах, когда и в западных штатах начались проблемы с собственными беспризорниками, и была создана централизованная система приёмных семей.

"The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported children from crowded Eastern cities of the United States to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest. The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating about 250,000 children. The co-founders of the Orphan Train movement claimed that these children were orphaned, abandoned, abused, or homeless, but this was not always true. They were mostly the children of new immigrants and the children of the poor and destitute families living in these cities.
Three charitable institutions, Children's Village (founded 1851 by 24 philanthropists),[1] the Children's Aid Society (established 1853 by Charles Loring Brace) and later, the New York Foundling Hospital, endeavored to help these children. The institutions were supported by wealthy donors and operated by professional staff. The three institutions developed a program that placed homeless, orphaned, and abandoned city children, who numbered an estimated 30,000 in New York City alone in the 1850s, in foster homes throughout the country. The children were transported to their new homes on trains that were labeled "orphan trains" or "baby trains". This relocation of children ended in the 1920s with the beginning of organized foster care in America.
