    Hospital didn’t alert cops

    Hospital didn’t alert cops in case of baby ripped from slain mom’s womb, authorities allege


    Police and Illinois’ child welfare agency say staff at a Chicago-area hospital didn’t alert them after determining that a bloodied woman who arrived with a gravely ill newborn had not just given birth to the baby boy, as she claimed.
    The woman, Clarisa Figueroa, was charged more than three weeks later with killing the baby’s mother, Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, after police found her body outside Figueoa’s home. Chicago police say she cut Ochoa-Lopez’s baby out of her womb on April 23, then called 911 to report she had given birth to a baby who wasn’t breathing. Paramedics took Figueroa and the baby to Advocate Christ Medical Center in suburban Oak Lawn.






    Ochoa-Lopez’s family spent those weeks searching for her and holding press conferences pleading for help finding her, unaware the child was in a neonatal intensive care unit on life support.


    The baby remained hospitalized on life support on Saturday, according to authorities.


    Prosecutors say that when Figueroa was brought with the baby to the hospital, she had blood on her upper body and her face, which a hospital employee cleaned off. They also say Figueroa, 46, was examined at the hospital and showed no physical signs of childbirth.

    OK. So I'm not sure I understand the meaning of this post. Are we blaming the hospital for this woman's actions? The woman was arrested so at some point the hospital did indeed report it's findings. Are we saying we want hospitals to be an enforcement agency for the government whether that be State or Federal?

    In the case of abuse (child, senior, spouse) certain people are legally obligated to report it. That includes health care workers (even therapists).

    Gotcha. But she was arrested so at some point the hospital did actually divulge that information. Are we talking time frame?

    I saw that on the news. Horrible.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
