Yeah. It was pretty far out there. I mean, sad as that is, I usually don't even take much notice of stereotypes about Romani, because they are so omnipresent and they almost never appear in either fiction or news as anything *but* thieves and such, or as some sort of "social blight" that needs fixing. (Or sometimes as some kind of folk art cliche, I guess.) But this was so extreme I couldn't believe the series went there.

Also this has extra horrible irony in that in reality the children being stolen from their families all too often were (and still are) Romani children by various authorities.
