Teen charged with hospital kidnapping
Healthcare Security Weekly, February 13, 2006
Macon, GA, police charged a 16-year-old with kidnapping an infant from The Medical Center of Central Georgia last week, according to the Macon Telegraph.
The teen allegedly took the baby boy from his mother's room after posing as a hospital employee. The girl took the infant for five hours before authorities received a tip where they were and located both in the teen's home.
The theft occurred after the teen told the mother there was a problem with the pictures the hospital took of the baby.
Alarms sounded moments after the teen took the baby from the third floor, but the teen managed to escape.
Police issued an Amber Alert, but security cameras did not capture the car's license plate she used to escape. Police are still searching for a woman they believe helped the teen with the kidnapping.
