Once again, it becomes clear that we cannot leave
the safety of our newborn children to chance. Systems need to be put
in place to protect these infants who cannot protect themselves.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, 26
year-old Justin Groves walked from the Royal Hospital for Women
at11.40am on Monday with his four-week-old baby son in his arms. Both
parents attended the clinic together that morning, with Mr. Groves
absconding on foot with no access to a vehicle or baby supplies.
Police were alerted shortly after and the hunt
began with grave fears for the child's safety. The public were
notified of Mr Groves appearance and told to keep an eye out for a
tattooed man wearing blue jeans and a white T-shirt. This proved
successful, with the man taken into custody later that day in
Parramatta.
A happy ending to what could have been a tragic
scenario. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

| Infant Protection Tag |
Luckily there is a solution. Integrated Wireless (IW) provide Infant Protection Systems that are put in place to avoid
such harrowing scenarios. Tamper-proof baby tags are worn by the
infant, triggering an alarm when passing one of many security grade
RFID receivers distributed throughout the ward at every door. This
alarm is sent to appropriate personnel to deal with the situation at
hand.
IW deploy these systems in large-scale maternity
wards APAC wide. For more information including pricing and product
