Never in America: Unmasking CPS’s Kidnapping Empire

A Ryan Matta Film

What if the very agency sworn to protect America’s most vulnerable children became the largest legally protected kidnapping network in the country?
For decades, Child Protective Services was sold to the public as a shield for abused and neglected kids. Today, it operates like a ruthless quota-driven machine: incentivized by federal funding under the Adoption and Safe Families Act, empowered by near-unlimited authority, and shielded by secrecy and immunity. Good intentions still exist in pockets, but those pockets have become the perfect camouflage for a system that now destroys far more families than it saves.
At the heart of Never in America is the infamous Case of Baby Cyrus and the gut-wrenching ordeal of the Anderson and Rodriguez family. Within hours of birth, their healthy newborn was seized by armed agents of the state—no warrant, no imminent danger, no due process. What followed was a years-long nightmare of fabricated reports, coerced confessions, and a family torn apart by a bureaucracy that profits from every child it takes.
Through never-before-seen court footage, whistleblower testimony from former CPS workers, and the raw, unfiltered stories of parents branded as criminals overnight, this explosive documentary rips the mask off the leviathan. We expose:
How federal “adoption bonuses” turned children into revenue streams  
The shocking rate of wrongful removals (over 80% in some studies)  
The foster care pipeline that feeds trafficking networks hiding in plain sight  
Judges, caseworkers, and adoption agencies working in lockstep to terminate parental rights at record speed
This is not a conspiracy theory. This is happening right now, in every state, to hundreds of thousands of American families.
Never in America is a battle cry. It’s time to end the era of legalized kidnapping and return child welfare to its original mission: protecting children, not harvesting them.
The mask is coming off. The truth will not stay buried.
This should have never happened in America… but it does, every single day.
