3 day old baby stolen from Magee

I pray they find this baby & he is ok.  Unbelievable that this could happen with all the security they have

Re: 3 day old baby stolen from Magee

  • Ugh, I've been so upset about this all afternoon! So very many prayers for that family... I can't even think about it.

  • This is so scary.  They tell you when you get to your room to pay attention to name tags and look for the stork sticker (to verify employee).  I'll be honest, I was so preoccupied with just giving birth and a new baby, I didn't always check the name tag.  I can't even imagine the total fear those parents must have had. 

    I read the baby's security band was cut off in the room.  I thought they were supposed to do that as you are about to walk out the door.  I really hope they get to the bottom of this; it should never happen. 

     
  • They did say on news yesterday that the lo's bracelet was cut off 90 minutes beforehand!!! Now I know it's crazy as you are getting ready to leave,but I know where I delivered both kids they didn't cut the bracelet off till I had the carrier! Plus if it's cut off that means you are discharged, bel they won't come for more testing! The thing that really irritates me is ther was NO AMBER alert for this baby ever officially made!! And I think Magee is going to have a huge lawsuit because of this and be way more strict!! But I also think it shows that UPC scrubs are way too easy to buy in the area and they may have to have a new way to regulate them somehow....I'm glad he was safe though!

    I said the same thing last night. I think it is going to come out that the family and kidnapper are some how associated. How would you know what room to go to and that they were being discharged/

    I agree and I was thinking maybe that's why there was no AMBER alert.  They possibly knew where they baby was from early on.

    I agree.

    But I have heard varying reports about the bracelets. I've read that they were cut off by the woman who took the baby and that they had already been cut off by the hospital. The first seems more probable to me. With both of my kids, they didn't cut off the bracelets until baby and I were in the wheelchair waiting to be pushed down to the entrance...

    You can't regulate scrubs.  There's 4 different scrub colors for the OR among the UPMC hospitals I know.  You can buy scrubs online without a problem.  On the floors, you supply your own scrubs as long as they conform to the dress code.  Then, nurses are blues/whites, nursing assistants are purple, environmental services are green.  So as you can see, that's about impossible to regulate scrubs.

    The more that comes out leads me to believe there's something else that needs to be uncovered.  Who actually gave the baby to this lady?  Surely, if this woman claimed to be the "daughter's sister" then who had the baby during this time after they were discharged and where were they?

    That's how it was for me too.  I was in the wheelchair literally on our way to leave with the boys already in their car seat, and we went to the nurse's station to have the bracelet deactivated and removed - I assumed that was the protocol for everyone.  It has to be more than a coincidence that she just happened to kidnap the one baby who had his bracelet removed in the room. I don't think she just picked this baby randomly.

  • The other thing that gave me the "something is off" feeling is that her family was all over the news.   Her mom and sister were talking to Brenda Waters last night, and they seemed so composed.  I know everyone handles stress/tragedy differently, but I don't know how talking to Brenda Waters could even cross your mind when your 3 day old grandbaby was just kidnapped.  
  • Also, the fact that the suspect said "You'll find out the rest later." really was unsettling.
  • I was reading the updated report last night from the Trib & reading it to John and we were like "huh?".  It will be interesting if we ever find out the real story.

  • I just saw on the news that, the state police said it didn't fit te criteria for an amber

    Alert, so they never issued it...and I understand not bing able to regulate scrubs 100%,but I know with other professions(where you need to purchase similar looking items) most places ask for an I'd of some form.  But I also find all of Magee's released statements very broad themselves on any information of how it was able to happen! That is what disturbs me besides the girls statements to the news media..it will be interesting once we get all the details.
