User:Auric/Rosebud Baby case

The Rosebud Baby case was a noted criminal case during the 1920s in Los Angeles. The owner of a nickelodeon was charged and convicted of fathering a baby on an underage patron.

During the case, Mabel Willebrandt, a reformer, exhorted police to "prevent owners of nickelodeons from taking little girls who came to the Saturday morning movies behind the silver screen and getting them with babies, rosebud or otherwise."

A special squad of police was charged with doing so.
