These unfortunate parents grew frustrated in their efforts to fight the powerful Tann. Complaints were filed, and lawsuits were carried out, but Glad says all of them “would just be dismissed by these local judges. The political machine was so entrenched and so powerful.” These people simply couldn’t fight the machine. It was something Glad could reconcile with.
