I can't believe what has happened in my city today. I live in a small city in Northern Ontario where not a lot of bad criminal things happen. But today a newborn baby was stolen out of the hospital. Here they allow women to keep their babies in the room with them but they have many strict policies for safety reasons. Well I guess the nurses were really slacking to say the least.

This women was wearing white scrubs but she kept changing putting on different colour zippered hoodies on. They have surveillance footage of her walking around the halls on the labor and delivery floor, and nobody even stopped her or thought of her as being suspicious....isn't that crazy.

They have a video of her holding the baby that was wrapped in a flannel blanket just walking calmly down the hall and there was a nurse who was walking behind her and you can see that she was wondering what the lady was doing but she never stopped her. I am in total shock because the hospital policy is that absolutely NOBODY can walk the halls with a baby in their arms, they have to be in there bed or cart thingy that makes a lot of noise so it catches peoples attention, but this nurse did nothing!!!

I heard that this women may be from the pyschiatric hospital and she left the hospital on foot. She took the baby like 6 hrs ago and it is cold here. That poor baby is probably cold and hungry. I am pretty sure that the baby girl was born today.

Things like this do not happen here, I am in total shock, actually the whole city is in total shock. I can't even imagine what the poor parents are going through, I really hope and pray that they find her!!!

For anyone interested you can go to ctv.ca and look at her pics where it says amber alert.......

The hospital where Jaylon and Brianna were born had a baby stolen out of there (she was my neighbor for a bit!) about 8 or 9 years ago. Now they put an anklet on the babies that sounds if you take the baby even close to an exit. If you try to take it off, or if by chance it falls off they shut the unit down.

It's still terrifying! That poor mother

They finally found the baby. She was about 3 hrs away. It turned out that she told her boyfriend that she was coming here to have their baby (she must have been pretending that she was pregnant) and so he called to check on her and the hospital must have thought that it was weird because they didn't have anyone admitted under that name so they started investigating. they ended up tracking down her car not far from where she lives. The baby is safe and sound. The girl who took her was only 19 yrs old.....like what the heck was she thinking!!!

She totally had it all planned out. She pretended that she was a nurse and she told the mom that she had to take the baby to have her weighed. I sure hope that she gets put away for life. If her boyfriend wouldn't have called it is very possible that she just may have gotten away with it...it is so scary.

They don't have that here. Before we used to have a nursery where all the babies were kept. Now they let you keep the baby in your room. The don't have any security system in place. The only thing is that you are not allowed to wander in the halls with your baby. That way if they see someone carrying a baby it is supposed to draw attention to the situation. But they actually have it on video that a nurse actually saw her and didn't even stop to question her because she had a nurses outfit on. You could see the nurses look on her face like she was wondering what the lady was doing but still didn,t go after her. She just let her walk away. We live in a small city and she should have noticed that that women didn't work here.

I really do hope that they step up the security measures here because something like this should have never happened. I was sick to my stomach all day and i couldn't stop thinking about it. I am just so happy that they caught her and that the baby is safe.
