At risk of repeating myself, going into the Hospital is about the same as going into jail. And never underestimate the power trips that occur at the lower levels, in this instance, nurses and security guards.

Rules aren't laws. Keeping people against their will is considered kidnapping, even if they entered of their own free will.
And because she had a c-section, one could even make the case they they were there under duress.
There actually aren't "plenty of people" who steal babies, btw. The fact that you believe that there are only means the media has successfully brainwashed you to instinctively distrust your fellow humans, and instead look towards "authority" to keep you safe. Corporate America - protecting the children!
Not to say that it doesn't ever happen, only that it's actually very rare compared to every other evil the world has to offer a baby.

I don't think he did anything wrong. He was taking his newborn out for some fresh air and the medical staff were attempting to detain him and take his baby. They should have known that he was the father....

"plenty" and "rare" depend on your point of view I suppose. From people I know that work in those fields they claim it isn't all that rare to find strangers prowling such areas and they didn't institute these lock-down policies because they don't happen. You want to twist it into looking for authority or "Corporate America - protecting the children", pfft. It is more like them covering their own asses and with good reason. If I had my kid in a hospital and somebody kidnapped it, it would not be pretty and it would probably end up costly.
Most C-sections are planned. Most doctors do them because they fear lawsuits, there's more money to be made doing C-sections, and the patients are in and out, which free up more deliveries for the doctor.
"Today, nearly one-third of all babies born in the United States are delivered surgically via Cesarean section—a considerable increase over C-section rates in past years. In 1970, C-sections were performed in only one of 20 births."
http://www.babyzone.com/pregnancy/la...-sections-rise
"Doctors say mothers are demanding more frequently to have labor induced, which makes them twice as likely to have a C-section. Doctors who fear malpractice lawsuits also may turn to cesareans more."
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/201...rths-cesareans
"Reports and research studies have noted a steady climb in C-section rates in the last decade. Some reports claim doctors are at fault because they are more willing to perform C-sections despite the huge risks associated with major surgery during pregnancy. Other studies claims women are moving toward a comfortable, planned pregnancy that they can control. It seems the latter of the two just received a bit more support. A new study found women are more likely to have a C-section because they are scared of childbirth."

I started to see this trend back in the 1980's when I had my first child. We took Lamaze classes and there were 16 couples, and only two of us has vaginal births.

Out of every one hundred men they send us, ten should not even be here. Eighty will do nothing but serve as targets for the enemy. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, upon them depends our success in battle. But one, ah the one, he is a real warrior, and he will bring the others back from battle alive.
Duty is the most sublime word in the English language. Do your duty in all things. You can not do more than your duty. You should never wish to do less than your duty.
I think that the hospital was given the task of providing care for the child and mother. If the father wanted to take the child outside for air it seems that it would have been prudent to inform the staff responsible for the infants care of his desire to bring the child outside before just leaving with the infant.
Doesn't matter. Either you believe the doctor and the mother knew what's best for them and their individual situation and it's really none of your business, or your a condescending jerk who belittles and demonizes people who make different decisions than you did.
And for the record, I had one of each, and would happily tell you what you can do with your judgement calls on people you know nothing about, but I don't want to get banned.

But there's the brainwashing. Maybe I'm just older than you, but when I was young, the maternity ward wasn't locked down, and babies just didn't disappear with great frequency. Now, people actually believe there are strangers lurking on every corner waiting to snatch babies and children because the media tells them it happens all the time. Call it the Nancy Grace effect.
And your reaction - blaming the hospital for allowing it to happen, instead of blaming the criminal who actually took the baby is just another indicator that the American thought process is damaged beyond repair.
I believe the lock-down policies were instituted, largely in response to parental demand, as part of the mass hysteria the media creates at the behest of corporate America, happily scaring clients into buying their shiny new security systems. We're not safe anywhere, you know.
Excuse me? I wasn't making a judgment on your personal choices--a little defensive eh? Nevertheless, It most certainly matters the amount of c-sections that are being preformed! You can look up the statistics yourself and see the trend, in the last few decades how many c-sections have been made and not because of emergencies. So you can take you little attitude and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine--Have a nice day!

If the baby has not yet been discharged then the hospital would still have liability and responsibility. Hospitals, doctors, and nurses are big targets for lawsuits. I think that until the child is officially discharged or an official Leave of absence is completed the hospital is responsible for the child. There are many rules/regulations regarding the discharge of infants from hospitals. Healthcare providers that do not follow established rules are subject to lawsuits and could lose their license. The father should have expressed his desire to bring the child outside. If the facility disagreed, the family, father/mother could have had the child discharged into the fathers care.
It's all about control. It's not just a badge and a gun anymore. The government databanks tie into the medical community too. Wake up folks!!
Do you know after your baby is born in the hospital they tell you before you leave, your baby has to take a phenylketonuria (PKU) Test. Did you know they take that blood and put into a state (State laws vary) DNA database without my consent or knowledge?

Its HER body, Its HER choice, its HER kid. CLEARLY any MAN trying to leave the hospital with a fetus or baby, is UP TO NO GOOD!
there is truth in all those points.
especially in the .mil communities. tricare pays less than medicaid for OB care/labor & delivery and doctors, understandably have a business to run.
my son was a week "late"-- he was birthed at home. and i'll tell you what, my midwife made hour long appointments and i was there with her the whole hour (and her previous appointments were always leaving when i was getting there-- likewise with me leaving) talking and getting to know each other.
now, i fully understand that not all women can have vaginal births, but i'd reckon a thought that some of the inductions and c-sections going on are due to scheduling reasons, not medical reasons. in fact, i can vouch for that. my best friend just had her third child-- she was scheduled to go in to be induced before the baby's due date and not for medical reason, but naturally went into labor 3 days before her scheduled induction.
personally, i avoid hospitals because i do not like them, so having a baby "au naturale" in a hospital wasn't even on my radar screen.
but to each her own.
the control factors work all over the place. hospital, doctor, patient, state. i chose what i felt gave me the most control and it was the right choice for me.
this is a really unnerving story, however. free standing birth centers (i had my daughter in one) are fabulous.

Thanks for backing my point--some people need to refresh their reading skills before making baseless attack posts to forum members.
