Infant Abductions from 1950s-1990s

Published

Specializes in Emergency.

I'm doing a project for a class I'm taking, and I would like to compare Hospital Infant Abductions from the past to how they are handled now. I have a present day example from my own community where the baby was located & returned safely to her family because of the use of security video cameras, Province-wide amber alerts, media awareness, and co-operation between organizations/agencies. However, I am struggling to find a specific example from the past, which is why I turn to you all....

If anyone can think back (before 1990 preferrably) to when a baby was abducted from a hospital, the baby may have been found or not.......any info you could give me would be helpful in directing my search for resources: year/date, hospital info, baby/family name, city/state/province, etc.

PLEASE help me for this project!
