Sadly, the methods used in Changeling are not uncommon...tactics like this have been used by others in varying combinations. (As a kid in Paterson, maybe ten, I'd gotten lost coming home from school, was walking around crying, and a car with two guys and a woman said that my dad had sent them to get me. The woman was trying to reassure me that it was okay to get in the car. I didn't. And no, my folks had never sent them.)
As for the script excerpt, I'd mentioned elsewhere in various interviews that I'd heard of the Collins case a number of years earlier, and had tried on several occasions to write the script but had never gotten past the first section and a rough outline for the rest. I just didn't have the skill set to write it properly until years later, when I tried one last time.
I still want to do the novelization, but there's been so much film work that it's been hard to peel away the time.
