According
to a report by International Social Services, Australia has the
highest per capita rate of international infant abductions in the
world. Add to that those newborn babies switched at birth and the
numbers begin to stack up.
Grisel
Ramirez, 48, recently impersonated a nurse in a Californian hospital
in an attempt to abduct a newborn baby. Ramirez, dressed in medical
scrubs, entered the mother's room and told her to take a shower while
she watched the baby. The mother complied and seconds later Ramirez
left the room with the baby in a tote bag.
Luckily,
the baby was wearing a Secure Care infant protection tag, alerting
staff when it passed the doorway. Ramirez was immediately detained
and is being held without bail.
Integrated Wireless are the Australian distributors of Secure Care products and
have deployments in some of Australia's busiest hospitals. The Infant
Protection System (IPS) prevents both theft and mistaken identity of
newborn babies using WiFi baby tags attached to the ankle. This tag
triggers an alarm when tampered with or when crossing a virtual WiFi
boundary.
