Anna Sekota and Adoons Modupe with their daighter |
A mother is in shock after a woman, who pretended to be a nurse, took her baby from her arms and never returned.
The hospital also has a lot of questions, but no answers after someone was able to walk out of the hospital with a newborn baby, who was not hers, without being detected.
Anna Sekota and Adoons Modupe were the proud parents of twins, a baby a girl and a boy. However, on Friday, their happiness turned to sadness and anger after their baby boy went missing. Sekota gave birth to her twins at a hospital in Odendaalsrus, South Africa.
Sekota said that a woman dressed as a nurse entered her room, which she shared with another woman, who also gave birth to twins. The “nurse” introduced herself as a nursing student. The nurse, who was pregnant herself, asked the mothers some question about their twins.
When the other woman said that she gave birth to two daughters, the nurse then asked Sekota some questions about her twins.When the nurse learned that she had a baby boy, the nurse explained that the doctor asked her to bring the baby boy to him for some tests.
Sekota said that she had no reason to distrust the woman, who appeared to be a legitimate nurse, she believed that her children were safe in the hospital. "The woman had turned her face to the door and pretended to be speaking to another nurse in the hallway," the mother said.
Two hours later, when the mother came to check on her son, she realized that the baby was gone. He was nowhere to be found. "Please bring back my son alive. We won't prosecute," pleaded Sekota, the devastated mother.
The family spokesperson, John Sekota, believes that either the woman pretended to be pregnant and then stole the baby as if she gave birth to the boy or she was pregnant with a girl and the child's father wanted a boy.
The family said that the woman must have known exactly what she was doing. She must have been familiar with the hospital and their security system. The hospital’s security cameras were working, but it was in the opposite direction of the room where the baby was stolen. The couple reportedly also has a 7-year-old son named Sibusiso.
