Poor Mom ;(

That is why here in America, babies have this thing around their wrist or ankle that only the hospital can remove. I don't know if they have digital ones today, but when I had my son 10 years ago, information was on the bracelet, I had one and my son had one, with my name, gender of the baby, date of birth and probably other info..This method also made sure the mother got her baby and not another baby. I can't imagine what it would be like to have my baby stolen, that is very heartbreaking... Oh, and I am sure you were in a rush to type this, but the average amount of time a woman carries a baby is 9 months, not 12...

12 months of pregnancy is a world record. Trading babies is s lucrative business. When I got my two girls I paid a substantial amount of money to the middleman. When there is demand there is supply but unfortunately the supplier resort to stealing to meet the demand which shouldn't have happened at all.

hi letran how dreadful she gives birth and her baby is just stlen out of the hospital.Was no one watching the new borns?How could such a thing happen?She of course will blame the hospital and she is' rigth, they are supposed to watch their charges there.Yes one must know that their hospital and doctor cam be trusted too. nine months letran,only elephants take 12 months.lol lol.

dear LK, Wait dear brother, 12 months? Wow, is that a new record for pregnancy? hehehee- just kidding. Well, I will sue the hospital staffs and will turn the whole world upside down to locate my missing baby

i have watched this on tv patrol that's why the heartaches and sadness of the mother was obviously seen on her face. What hurts more , the investigator of the case has seen an angle that probably the mother just making this abduct scene to be cleared from high hospital bills. Ooh. It's irritating to hear that if I were the mother LK.

thats terrible. i mean i would feel desperate i guess. about when you go to hospital choose a doctor that you trust isnt easy. at least in my country is almost impossible. cause when you go to hospital you cant choose the doctor. they choose one to take care of you. unless you have a lot of money to go to a private hospital. what isnt to all pockets^^

Yes it is indeed tragic that a mother lose her child inside a hospital and the hospital does not have the proper security to protect the safety of their patients. I just hope that the hospital be given proper penalty for failing to ensure this and should be penalized for this mishap. PS I think it is only 9 months or less for you to give birth not 12 months.

That was terrible for the mom in the Philippines and I feel ever so sorry for her. A normal pregnancy lasts for 40 weeks which is 9 months. In hospitals in my home country babies have a band on their leg which says their parents name, the date of birth and their hospital number. It can only be removed by the hospital. The rooms where the babies are kept are locked. Pregnant ladies can't choose who their doctor or midwife is. I have had a home birth each time.

I would be heartbroken for sure... I don't think I would feel angry against the hospital because the only thing I would concern would be looking for my child! We hear news sometimes about babies and children being stolen, it is sad... I try my very very best always keeping an eye on my kids, I would not able to take this risk and I'm sure all moms feel the same!

I gotta say, the poise that the woman had achieved when she was interviewed by the media is quite a feat for someone who just lost their kid. I salute her for that. The hospital is right to just let the woman go but not the part where the woman is still liable to their services. I mean, why would she pay a hospital where her baby was just carried off?

It's all in the news and was really saddened about what happened. I know how hard it is for the mom for I am a mom too. I can't imagine why some people are really heartless to do such thing. How could they gain such courage to stole a child who knows nothing at all and to hurt a mother who is still in pain. The world is ruthless and truly the morality of it's dwellers has turned out so badly.

is this true to life story you heard from a news? well if it is, really sad to be in a mom's shoe. but you know, mothers do have a child in their tummy in just 9 months, right? If I am in such situation, i would really be mad at those people in the hospital, why did they do such thing. all of them might be a suspect for such kidnapping and they have no right to do that to anyone either. well, unless they have to do that for the sake of other's life as well. even so, we have to do things the right way.

hi LK, It's only 9 months This is not the first case it happened already in some hospital way back before it just alarming that authority can't solve it. happy mylotting

I saw it in the news, it's been circulated in all media. The incident is really a sad thing. I think, the hospital administration needs to upgrade their system for safety and security. I feel bad for that mom.

in big cities in North America, you have no control over your baby after it is born, it goes into the nursery with all the other babies and they give you your baby when it is time to feed him or her.

aw that is sad.. but then i also saw in the news that it might be some plot as the woman who gave birth went thru ceasarian and cannot pay as their hospital bill was that high..

that incident is really unacceptable for mothers like me. You would risk even your own life for your child and then here is someone who for greed of money and total lack of conscience would simply took one's child that way. it is not only depriving the child of a mother's care and love but tantamount to killing the mother too.

Taking a baby inside your belly is just 9 months because 12 months is 1 year already. The lesson learned here for all the couples out there especially who are about to give birth just make sure that they should know who will be their doctor assigned to them and make sure they are licensed. Though I think the one who kidnapped was a licensed doctor. Another idea that it came to my mind although I don't really know if this will be a good idea for some cases, make sure you have companion especially husband who will guide you in hospital and that person should never leave the newly gave birth mother. If he needs something else then there should be another companion. Because in other sense in case that there will be a doctor who will ask for the baby to get it first because they want to check on something then at least someone will follow the doctor to see if they are really reliable to do something for the baby. As much as possible if they can ask for the doctor's id for some security reason.

Hi, I think she could file damage suit against the hospital for losing the baby. However, one angle the police is looking at is the possibility of having the baby spirited away by an accomplice to avoid the payment in the hospital. The hospital should be careful with this, being on the brink of losing their operating license. The management should take extra effort to track down the baby and see the real issue or else they would suffer the double threat of damages and losing their license.

How Sad??? I really can feel the pain the mother is having toward her lost newly born child. God will punish them soon to those bad people who did it. I know the money they got from if ever they sell the child will not get them rich. Warning to all hospitals public and private and security guards they should keep watch on these so that no more incident will happened like this in the future. I hope the baby will be recovered soon by authorities and be back to her family.
