Hospitals are supposed to be the one place parents don’t have to worry about the safety of their children since a majority of the staff has taken an oath not to harm their patients in any way.
Which is why one exhausted mom thought it would be fine to rest for a little while after her baby girl finally went to sleep after being admitted to the hospital and undergoing hours of exams, bloodwork, and other tests. However, when she woke up an hour later to check on her little girl, baby Lorelai was gone.
Mom Lory Snyder frantically searched for her daughter, and ultimately found her in the arms of another patient along with six or seven nurses who were all laughing and playing with Lorelai. “I proceed to take Lorelai out of her arms. Even though she persisted that I return to my room, without Lorelai, she stated repeatedly that I needed to just go rest. I told her, no that I was fine and I would be taking my daughter back now,” Snyder said.
“I removed Lorelai from her arms, and the nurses who had been standing around gathered up her things, because along with taking Lorelai she also took my diaper bag( which had been emptied around her room), iv pole, and crib Lorelai was in sleeping in,” Snyder wrote in a post to Facebook after the terrifying incident.
The nurses insisted that her daughter was safe with the patient, who has been identified as Ms. Harris, but Snyder and her daughter were placed in a secure room in the ICU unit aft Harris followed them back to the room and insisted on taking back Lorelai.
“While I honestly don’t know if Ms. Harris intentions were noble, since she claims to of just been trying to care for Lorelai. I don’t know what she herself was ill with, something that could make my daughter sick. I don’t know anything! I don’t know what her actual intent with my child was. What she did with her. Or even how long she actually had her.”
“That hospital’s responsibility is to care for their patients and make sure that they are safe and they are well, and that doesn’t seem to be what’s going on,” Snyder said. “You do not enter a room and take a child that does not belong to you, especially from a person you don’t know. I want some answers, and I don’t feel like I’m getting them from that hospital.”
“I don’t want anyone else to go through what I did,” Snyder said.
