A couple who were given the wrong baby by a hospital in El Salvador a year ago, have finally been allowed to travel home with the correct child. Rich Cushworth - who is British - and his wife, Mercedes - were only given a birth certificate for their son Moses a few days ago. They landed back home in Dallas, Texas this week where they have been speaking exclusively to our correspondent Matthew Price.

They better sue the shit out of that hospital. That’s all.
I would sue tf outta of them
Salina Asmelash Me too
@@christopheragenor4336 tbh them trying to prevent getting sued by denying the switch up just make shit even worse
OH you know a civil court will be compensate them. Hospital will settle out of court quietly with both families. My uncles 1st wife died during a surgery, it was their fault, he was awarded a huge settlement out of court. It doesn’t replace his wife though.
Salina Asmelash I would do it not because of the money just so they could listen. I can’t imagine giving birth to child and that child get switched up that’s terrible. Some of them think just because they’re doctors and nurses that they’re perfect
Those doctors gaslit her. If a mom says "this isn't my baby" a doctor's FIRST reaction should be to order a dna test, not try and convince her she is wrong.
Something tells me that was not the first time it happened and they just normalized "it's not my baby." Whoever was the nurse responsible for such a stupid mistake should have her/his license revoked permanently.
@@Mariet31 Yes, but no. No matter what, the first response to a woman saying for the first time, "this isn't my baby" needs to be hospital procedure to immediately order a test. If it's a "repeat" offender, you can stop testing. But a new mom? Test for her sake. In america, that's just another excuse to charge more money anyway. I agree though that the nurse and doctor who refused to order a DNA test need to have their licenses suspended.
@@Mariet31I hear you, but I'm sorry that's still no excuse. The mentality of the hippocratic oath should lead to the logic of first validating any medical concern by ordering the appropriate tests and THEN determining if that concern was legitimate or not, depending on the results of the test, not the opposite way around. That is lazy medical care, that is jaded medical care, and that is negligent medical care.
@@belladingdong3396 yes! Even when I was working in smaller facilities, we had to validate that something wasn’t right or that the patient wasn’t just having some type of episode. Which meant ok, let’s get some stat bloodwork etc it’s so simple and could’ve been prevented. That mother missed out on special moments that another mother had with her child, the other mother too.
Exactly!
It’s SO disgusting, unprofessional and irritating how often some medical “professionals” outright dismiss a mother’s questions and concerns.
Yes always acting like we don’t know our own stuff lol nerve wracking fr
I saw a nurse’s interview she said she did switches 1000 of kids in her profession and she did it just for fun
@@Mariaxblog She shpuld be hardly punished.
She was dying of cancer or any kind of severe disease so she confessed before dying
I HATE all medical "professionals".
Three things are exceptional in this video. 1. Mom is a great story teller. 2. Interviewer is a very good listener 3. Story is mesmerizing
She is so beautiful too
@@katybee2840 , Yes, she is. And baby too
I was thinking that too! What a great story teller!
And the dad?
She is soo interesting the way she talks I’m listening
I feel all babies should have a DNA test done when they leave hospital to avoid a huge mistake like this.
This is the best comment I have read! Thank you!!! A freaking possible solution!
Yeah and questions of paternity too
They put a security braclets on baby that matches the mom's immediately after birth. If the baby even comes within 10 feet or so of the exit doors an alarm goes off and lock down initiated. They dont mess around anymore. Its very hard for babys to be switched at birth now. Not all hospitals have this security but most do
It's the best
Imagine if the DNA test report is swapped as well?
Why don’t people listen to women?! Doctors, nurses and hospital staff,NOBODY listened to her! 😡
That is typical of doctors too.
Exactly!
Two years, four hospitalizations, doctors kept saying my symptoms were all in my head. The last doctor used the exact words 'your imagination'. Turns out I had a defective medical device. No question about misdiagnosis of a disease - it was a document-able, real physical malfunction. Who figured it out? A woman tech, of course, who believed what I was saying. Women are subject to so much medical abuse it's criminal.
I know it happens all the time!
Betsy Leifeste Only use female doctors, at least they won’t think ur being a hystericaI woman or something sexist
I hate when doctors don't listen to their patients' concerns and even try to label them as crazy or doped up instead trying to go out of their way and address/resolve patients concerns immediately. In this case all they needed to say was "ok if you think this is not your baby lets do DNA test". Instead they try to tell her we don't make mistakes like that you were on meds who knows what you saw. Unbelievable 🙄
Yeah exactly. Always believe your gut feelings.
Yes, they could’ve avoided the babies being separated from their bio family from three months to an hour if they would have checked within that 4 day hospital stay!
Medical gaslighting
Yes they think we are crazy but we are right!
I've had too many doctors & dentists ignore my concerns.
A mother's instinct should always prevail. What precious and dedicated parents
Not instinct. Only animals have instinct. It's a mother's intuition.
Hmm yes you're right.. You're such a smart type and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
@@nerissasandy _We are animals technically_
@@nerissasandy humans are mammals thooo and mammals have offspring. we just got the big brains. use it [logic and reasoning, critical thinking]
Yes. We know.
As a nurse - AS SOON - as a patient tells me something is 'off' I double & triple check... I have NEVER regretted the 'second guess' NEVER...
Because you are good at your job! Wish more doctors and nurses were like you
they were all definitely in on it and knew they messed up but were scared to lose their job so they were dumb enough to really think they could fool a mothers intuition by lying. I feel so bad for the mother I can’t imagine her pain
Kudos to you👍
Mashallah sis
👏❤️😇
They should sue the shit out of that hospital!!!
Christina Waters I was looking for a comment like this so I could immediately like it. Like how can a hospital do this? How disorganized could they be to switch up babies?
Nola Girl This may have been a human trafficking attempt. Remember the nurse said "you're child will be dark"
The babies are so different looking! They both have entirely different skin colors. Why would you not double check if you were unsure who's baby was who's if you were a nurse? Admit a mistake early before it spirals out of control.
From time to time the hospital's mix up the babies and put the wrong tags on their ankles, or another malfunction could occur. Remember no one's perfect, but it is understandable to be upset.
Katherine Fotopoulos typically.. skin color (melanomin?)darkens in time. The difference would not necessarily show up for a while. THE main problem here is that the Staff ignored the mother's concerns. A lesson for everyone here is... pay attention to your own gut feelings.
Never question a mother's intuition!
Question everything, mothers can be wrong
The gaslighting this woman experienced is unacceptable. It’s never acceptable but in this case, it’s criminal.
💯
💯 Supposing they never did the DNA test? She'd have swallowed the news she was fed and then YEARS later some medical situation brings it up Good Lord
Stupid hospital. Hope she sues.
This happened in Viet Nam too :-s poor babies
Joo-hyun Cha this happened in El Salvador and she did sue but I guess they settled off court it was a big deal in here they followed the case every day non stop until they found the baby.
Joo-hyun Cha ikr
Baby Bluelie yes.. actually it was here in my country el Salvador. .that was a big case
J Long I
Never underestimate the instincts of a mother people.
yes of course you are right.
Yes true I believe
If my mother's instincts were always right, I would have been kidnapped or killed at least a thousand times in my childhood. I can assure I wasn't kidnapped or killed even once.
So true! Never underestimate a mother’s instinct!! Thank God she was able to get her baby back and God bless her for loving and taking care of that baby even though she knew it really wasn’t hers! What an amazing story!!! It’s scary to think that this actually could happen and I’m so glad that everything worked out the way it should have. It’s definitely God’s work.
The baby being black may have been a clue?
These poor parents. Lost their initial bonding with their baby. I hope the hospital gets sued big time for such an emotional roller coaster
I had the same thing happen to me with my first child. However, I was relentless saying this was not my baby. They eventually gave me my real baby.
Hmm yes you're right.. You're such a smart type and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
That is horrible and I am glad everything worked out...and the comment from Paul under yours seems odd.
@@AhJodie if you look at his profile he’s left a few of these comments. Either a troll or just creepy
@@leocervidae I did, and so I reported him. I don't like to do that, but he seems like he is dangerous.
thank goodness Australia has that rule of not having nurseries in the hospitals. baby pops out and is required to a 20-30 Min skin bonding then they are placed in a crib next to you and they never leave the room. babies are not allowed to be held outside your room at all.
Sarah Joy that's a brilliant policy, so glad !
The hospital i delivered at had the same policy. The baby never left the room and mom or the other banded person had to be with them at all times. If you were sleeping, the baby was to be put on the side of the bed in the crib away from the door. And only released to a nurse or doctor with a pink badge.
Sarah Joy in Australia (where I birthed) if mum or bubs has undergone trauma during the birth, bubs is taken into the nursery away from mum, so although the chance of a Bub mix up is rare, it is possible.
The hospital I went to did not have a nursery. If a baby needed an incubator that was brought into the mothers room. This was a public hospital. other ladies I visited in other hospital did not have nurseries too. I asked why and they said they don't use those techniques anymore. Maybe bigger hospitals have a care room
it should be like that everywhere
That baby is living the most peaceful moments of his life.
In his mother's lap.
Debjyoti Haldar yes I can see that
cattleya z lol
I thought exactly the same thing once when my baby nephew was sleeping in his mum's lap.
Debjyoti Haldar unless the babies dead, OMG IM JK 😂😂
The hospital needs to pay damages to both parents, to help prevent the hospital from making the same mistake again. The babies received the wrong milk and wrong bacteria from the wrong mothers, not usually deadly, but not optimal for the baby's health.
I believe the hospital should be held to account. This must be heartbreaking for parents having to go through this. That couple were lucky but what about the ones lost forever, never knowing they were switched. Something needs to be put in place to prevent this from happening or massive compensation should be given to the families as a way to stop this from repeating. Good luck to the family.
The hospital was in El Salvador, I don't think much can be done.
I’m so glad that they both were switched with good parents. Imagine your baby being with parents who were neglectful and abusive.
Yh and you’d have to give that person their child that you’ve formed a connection with and know they are going to have a horrible life
My brain liked to blow up with that very thought. I was hated from birth so my heart was sick at the thought their baby, Moses, went to people like mine🤢
@@padebro2683 I'm sorry that was your experience. It is hard to heal from such a beginning. I wish you healing and peace. In this story, it does sound like both babies went to loving families, which is no doubt why the exchange went so smoothly. Makes all the difference in the world.
@@padebro2683 That is horrible. I can’t imagine being hated since birth. So sorry you had to go through this. I think this could make you an exceptionally loving parent given what you must have gone through. ❤
I was thinking the very same thing
I’d sue the *uck out of that hospital. The emotional trauma caused to the mothers especially and there’s no doubt to the baby boys. Yes even at 3 months. Incompetent staff
Know All this video was made 4 years ago..
El Salvador Man. They don't give a rats ass about your lawsuits
I’m sure they did or will. The last thing he said was the “financial damage” it’s caused us. She even mentioned giving all the clothes they bought away with the child. Trust me they’re going to make sure Moses gets a real nice settlement haha
Know All 😂😂😂 of course
You're right they should be sued. And there will be no judge that wouldn't give them millions of dollars either they deserve Millions
What a beautiful, tenderhearted couple. I hope and pray that their family stays together for their lifetimes.
Hmm yes you're right.. You're such a smart type and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
Meh..I sincerely beg to differ. The mom is indeed lovely, but dad is clearly an ass hat and if you can't see that, well... sad for us all that there are scant few parents and no class at any school that teaches discernment, which is a character trait you clearly lack.
Never underestimate how dumb people can be, including doctors, nurses and hospital staff.
They're hard working people They're only human
Dumb and uncaring.
True!!! I just came home from the hospital after my newborns spinal surgery. She had to be flat for several days. A nurse came in to PICK HER UP AND WEIGH HER. While she was still on complete bed rest / no movement orders. We questioned it and turned out she wasn’t supposed to do that so we prevented BAD DAMAGE to my baby by being alert and aware.
She's better at telling stories than people on the news usually are.
Arturo Stojanoff maybe because it was something she had gone through personally. And something she believed in so much that she had fought to do like getting them tested for
Arturo Stojanoff She told it with such gentleness! What a beautiful woman!!
Thats b’coz she spoke from her heart.
Arturo Stojanoff .... because she is speaking from the heart. What a sad, yet uplifting story.. xx
All I heard was a repeat over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over how something made them feel.
The fact that her first thought wasn’t her biological baby, but this baby that she has been raising and falling in love with... that’s a real mother right there. Mourning a baby that wasn’t hers ☹️
When she was talking about how they had to give her up, ugh 🥺
This couple have good hearts, they loved both children.
So very sad, but with a happy ending
True
Sign of a mother who has strong maternal instincts. Also she has a very big heart.
Thank God each child went to wonderful parents.
Even when you had doubts this precious one was your baby you still gave him a mother's love. You and your husband loved him. You both gave him such a sweet sweet start in life and I am sure your son was so loved as well by the other parents. God Bless you all!
How can you be quite sure?
It's so sad when doctors think they know more than a mother's instinct. Mother's instinct is stronger than science.
Lisalynn's World Inam not sure Mothers instinct in stronger than science. Doctors does not equate science. the science is the Dna test not the doctors word.
Lisalynn's World right, what told then the truth at the end? The DNA test, which is science. Even the mother went along for a while. Neglectful nurses are not science.
Lisalynn's World Yes it is, I agree! :) Though many mothers & other women throughout history have lied about things like this, stolen other women's babies, and such. Simply being a woman does NOT in any way automatically make one honest, sane, trustworthy, caring or loving. Sadly.
Lisalynn's World Had nothing to do with science. It is the nurses who were too stupid to bring her the right baby. If it wasn't for science ( DNA testing ) she would never get her baby back.
I completely agree. When my grandmother was giving birth, she told the doctor something was seriously wrong. He kept dismissing her, and she kept telling him something was wrong. It turned out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and it choked him to death. She grieved for that baby her entire life. I think doctors just get jaded and stop listening to their patients after a few years.
I'm not the 'suing' type but in this case, its justified. No parent should ever experience this.
I would sue the heck out of them, They were reckless and irresponsible to say the least.
Absolutely! Shame on hospital and all the doctors involved here. Never question a mother's intuition - it's a God's given gift. ❤️🙏
@@RahulSharma-bl8bg well said
Can you imagine as a first time mother nursing and loving a child but at the same time feeling something is not right? A mother's instincts are powerful and should never be ignored!
Suing them for money it's not going to do anything all it does is make you seem like a greedy person that money will make them punished.
They’re such an amazing couple . They way she describes everything is so beautiful and so soft spoken and then the dad saying he wants justice in the situation. Great people
I agree with Hailey Nicole they are amazing couple with so much patuence and behaving like goid human beings May God bless them .
This is scary as all my kids were preemies and taken away immediately without me even seeing them like that after birth.
This practice is barbaric, why take the baby away? This doesn't happen in England.
I had a preemie that was moved frequently within the NICU & his bracelet was too loose to stay on well. My son has a unique ear lobe that curls a little. I checked every day for the two months he was in the NICU to make sure I was taking the right baby home 🙂 I'm so glad this couple were reunited with their son.
@@sinatra7407 it depends on the situation, if it’s a preemie baby they probably have to be rushed to NICU, if they’re not they could die. Or it could be to prioritise the mother. She said she had a C-section, which is pretty hard going in itself, you need to be stitched up and cared for. But you also don’t know why she had a C-section there could have been complications that meant she needed extra care. Birth can be pretty messy and doctors/nurses are often just doing what they can. They should’ve taken her seriously and done a DNA test in the hospital tho
@@leocervidae what you say could all be true, but ensuring the right baby goes to the right family is absolutely crucial and there has to be fail safe systems in place which are all part of a reasonable standard of service.
@@sinatra7407 they have a NICU bed set up to take them back to the NICU right away and hook up all the things they’ll need.
Aww what a sweet mom? She was crying for the baby she gave away that isn't hers. Wow mom's love
Artime Silk she had him since birth what do you expect
LUCRETIA TEPES uhh and there are people who abandon their kids and people who give 0 shits about a kid when they find out they're not genetically related
Scarlett Whisperer that's why she called her a good mom. Because so many would immediately want to get the baby that wasn't theirs off of their hands to get their real baby. instead, she wanted to keep both (a tad selfish, but I understand where she was coming from).
Scarlett Whisperer Why shouldn't they be parents? Because they got emotionally attached to a baby they were repeatedly told were theirs? Nice logic.
Chinonye Ekwenchi lol
They couldn’t have checked? Why wouldn’t they listen to her? A mother always knows.
Women’s feelings perceived as crazy and being dismissed, as usual.
To a medical professional it would sound like she's just drowsy or suffering from post natal depression. Realistically, PND is much more common than accidental switches.
Absolutely! I am a midwife and in my previous job we checked the baby's ID band and cot card against the mother's wristband before baby left mother's side, checked the baby's ID against the cot card before leaving the nursery, and checked baby's ID against mother's wristband when baby is returned to mother. We did this EVERY TIME baby left mother's side. Babies had 2 types of ID one of which was a plain number which mother read and signed a form for on admission while she had all her wits about her. ALL BABIES had an ID band on all limbs! This story is insane!
Theola Marshall-Bernard Thank you for not making us think we’re crazy to think the hospital’s response was bizarre. And actionable.
Agree
Happened to me, if I hadn't been alert enough to know I'd had a boy, they'd have given me a baby girl. They insisted I was wrong. I kept insisting they were wrong. Long story short, they finally fixed it. Don't count on the hospital staff to know or admit. Fight for your right to your own baby, cause it happens, it does.
Yes, once your real baby goes home with someone else, chances are you’ll never see it again.
It happened to my mother. Although when the hospital stole her babygirl she was told she had a boy, and the boy had died. No body to bear, nothing. She was young and single. So, we have a sister somewhere.
Sadly, this was the norm for young mothers back in the day :(
She is such a sweet and loving mother. She still unconditionally loved the other baby like her own even after she found out the baby wasn't her's. 😢
Yeah. Thank God they found their real baby :)
Clorox..I think she's a loving mother...I did find her to be a little selfish to think she could keep both babies!!... saying she was hoping she could keep both babies..NOT giving the other mother a thought or any sympathy.. I realise she loved this little boy..I also know the other mother was loving the baby she had.. I honestly believe one of my first thoughts would have been the other mother as well.. for one she has my baby.. this is going to be heartbraking for both of us.. I can't believe until the solicitor said the other baby has to go back to his mother!! that this lady believed she was keeping both of these babies.this was a couple of hours before she had to hand over the baby to his mother!! and this lady was willing to keep both babies!! Two babies two mother's and each of these mother had the right to have their babies back!. NOT one mother keeps both...
ma wee chickadee WOW!!! Are you really that judgmental and lacking in compassion??? The woman was on an emotional rollercoaster. She had loved a child as her own unconditionally for several months. Even nursed that child. Then her real child is found. Sounds like she simply needed some time to adjust to that reality before having to face the reality that finding her own child meant losing the child that had been in her care. It wasn’t a matter of her “selfishly” desiring to keep both children. Seems like she simply hadn’t had time to absorb the fact that as she gained one child she was about to lose another. Have some compassion! After what she went through, I think she earned the benefit of a doubt.
@@ReneeDeborah couldn't have said it better
Yes she's a lovely Mom
This is crazy.. the baby should have been tagged immediately he was born.
Milimo Sweta they do that. But, I guess this was just a "mistake"
In some countries they do an ink foot-print of the baby the moment it's born. This goes way back to before there were DNA tests.
C. L. Audio true they did when I delivered too. But this story is completely crazy
Its negligence
Yes note to self am gonna tag my baby quickly on my own next time
Good thing they made the change and got back the correct baby. I have seen awful stories with people not doing the correct flip and it never ends well.
Imagine all the babies that are out there that are with the wrong parents
I’m proud of her for standing up and following her gut and so disappointed that people around her wouldn’t listen.
Yes!!!! So true. Many new momz would have been upset with themselves for their disbelieveing. ....especially because it seemed EVERY PERSON SHE KNEW INCLUDING FAMILY TOLD HER SHE WAS WRONG . I THINK SHE GOT STRENGTH FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT . THEY ARE BELIEVERS.... ❤
I wish she would give me some of that calm. I am way to animated 🤪
People usually don’t listen to new mothers
That's the medical industry. Honestly, people would have lied to cover it up had they known. Bless this woman. I would want heads to roll.
@@kimgodwin29 still has a nightmare of the Nurse did not want me to breastfeed my baby, as she thinks, my baby should have botel in a hospital when I wish to feed her and later dr reminded me I was right when had to walk in pain of cesarean to watch she does not cry from hunger
This is why they don't have nurseries in Canada anymore, the baby stays in the room with the mother now.
Agreed, it doesn't make sense to send every baby to the nursery
+john 321 They do that to let the mother recuperate from just giving birth and they have to clean the baby and check to be sure nothing is wrong with the baby. But especially some women can be in labor for a long time then the energy it takes to push the baby out is very exhausting even more so if they had to have a C-section cause they are given medications for the pain and such. The nurses were just extremely negligent , they are supposed to put a band on the babies ankle with the room and mothers name. I dunno about all hospitals or what they do but the hospital I was at this was their standard protocol. They even put a security monitor on the babies ankle and if the child is taken within so many feet an alarm will go off.
In a lot of german hospitals you can decide, whether to give your child to the nursery or keep it in your room. But usually they immediately put a name tag on the baby (little bracelet or something like this). So maybe the nurses at this hospital were really stressed this day.
+Sarah R. That's true but they ALWAYS take the baby to the nursery at first so they can fully exam the baby and clean the amniotic fluid off the baby check for jaundice, things like that. They give your child a small check-up in the room with you and if he/she is breathing fine and not in a life or death situation they let you hold your child first and take some pictures before taking him/her to the nursery. But after they bring the baby back to the room it's up to you if you want to send the baby back, but if they have to put you on pain meds and no one is with you to help when needed, they take the baby to the nursery right after they give the meds to you just in case the meds make you drowsy .
when me and my sister were both born my dad literally did not let us out of his sight, as soon as we came out and got taken away he followed, he wasn't gettin his babies swapped lmao
I am so sorry this happened to these 2 babies and the parents..... How sad to go through this.
I'm so glad the babies adjusted to real parents peacefully. Also the love that continued to be expressed for the other baby is worth our public viewing of this story that I feel not too many people would have had the capacity to extend during this horrific hospital error. Í hope they can back track the steps of how it happened to prevent it from ever happening again. Such a happy ending. In that the hospital had an excellent recovery.🧸
Something about this woman. She has such a calm nature and is so in touch with her soul. She guided herself to her real baby with her mind alone.
@@DiabetesHerbalCure Whoah thanks
@@DiabetesHerbalCure so she’s calm because of this herb?
You can tell (or I personally feel that way) that their faith in Jesus is strong, and present.

@@A.Singularity -- Right? I wonder why? It's so emotional. I think they handled it really well together. They come across as good caring people. They really cared about that other child, too, & they're not angry & twisted up about what happened - no blaming, talk of vengeance, suing, or being victims. They were both able to really talk about their feelings in a heartfelt, open, & clear way as well -- the gentleman, especially. Maybe this is so rare we don't know what to say...
I know🥺🥺
Maritess Hoy You’re right, but I hope they do sue. To just tell the mother she is mistaken about her baby without investigating a possible switch is arrogant and unforgivable. And letting it go can mean this can happen to another set of parents.
I hope I find a partner who looks at me the same way he looks at her. This is true love and it seems very hard to come by theses days
They are such a lovely couple and their own baby highly resembles them.
Hmm yes you're right.. You're do smart and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend. I love your comments here so it got me attracted to you hope you don't mind us talking 💬 How are you doing today?.
As most people are aware this happens, and has happened many times. Security measures in hospitals has improved over the in order to prevent this from happening. This was a fantastic story. Thank you.
In my country there is a saying that a mother knows her child 9 months more than others.
Love that
S o True! Whitch country is this?

And that's a fact. 💯
your country's name is "Duh"
An interview should be done with the other parents.
Brian Nave right i was thinking the same thing

Yes

Maybe they don't want to go public, some people are more reserved.
So happy the babies were both in good hands
She wanted both babies she said “ idc idc I’ll love & take care of both these babies like they are my own, but find my real baby”
My wife had me follow the nurses where ever they took our son .
☺️☺️
So smart 😭
I refused to go to a hospital that requires the baby to go to the nursery.
Exactly.
Same
they both seem to be so sweet people.
This happen to a Polish couple. The hospital in Ohio gave them a dead baby. They went to Poland and buried the wrong baby. Later, they found out their baby was a live and that baby belong to someone else. I also felt for the other couple. DOUBLE LAW SUIT!!!

I love how even though she knew that wasn’t her baby, she still loved that baby regardless. I’m sure the other mom felt that way

You are describing willful blindness and applauding it.

These guys need to sue BIG
dloverise Sue a hospital which can't afford to give money for a mistake because it's busy saving people lives
dloverise No not everything is about money. Id just be glad the baby is safe
nazmul hoque What planet are you on, the nurses working in maternity are not saving people's lives on a regular basis. What makes you think the hospital is poor?
dloverise They did sue but settled off court and during the investigation they couldnt found a responsable because the nurses were playing back and fot saying it was the doctor and then saying it was the pedriatician.
dloverise The medical feilds have one of the largest monopolies out there. Nonetheless all medical personnel are important. Sue the hospital and your suing everyone who works for it. Pretty selfish if you ask me.
Mothers know their babies! I remembered my babies faces when they were born!
I was completely convinced my baby was “that Chinese lady’s baby” because I was on medication after the C-section. Embarrassing the heck out of my family. My mother said “Nikki stop! That’s your baby! I saw her come out of the room!” So because of people like me they didn’t take her seriously
🤣
That’s hilarious and you do make a good point.
Hello Nicole, How’re you doing?
You did nothing wrong. Remember, you were on medication! I had medication after my C-section and it can mess up a person's thinking.
Lmao 💀
The way her husband listened to her looking at her eyes and believing her is so much amazing...that's the love and trust between them....
They look so in love with each other.
Men do not love women, they love porn
I agree with you he really seems a very caring husband
I seen that too. His deep interest is so sweet.
That was my first thought. The way he looks at her so beautiful. So sad they went through this but so happy that they found their son.
NEVER IGNORE MAMA INSTINCT. Ignore those who don't take you seriously.
Yes!
West Side Story
That was supposed to say what a sad story! Speak text!
I love that the mother did not let it go. She did not have peace and would not until she did that DNA test. Good for her because she really saved the day in this story. But you can also see they both genuinely fell in love with the other child and it's heartwarming to see that they still want to stay in touch with him as he grows up. I think they have handled this as best as anyone in their position could!
just like all the women who refuse vaccines and end up getting forced into it by their doctors and then their children end up with autism. It’s crazy.
Happens more than you think! They brought me the wrong baby, and I put up a fit. I was right! Then the photographer sent me pics of the (same) wrong baby! I got my baby. But, man...the nurses did the same thing to me...told me I was wrong. Listen to the mothers!!!
Hmm yes you're right.. You're do smart and you seem to be a nice woman as well too, God bless you friend How are you doing today?.
When she shared this in a lecture once I cried!! Love this story and it’s such a miracle!!🥺
Hello how are you doing?
This mother has such a beautiful spirit about her. Truly amazing woman.
She is "mother Teresa". The father does not speak much. When he speak, he talks about "justice" in term of " financial damages".
This lady is beautiful. But too old to HAVE a baby...not fair to yr baby....
B Anderson at the same time she wanted to keep the other baby. That’s very selfish, she wasn’t thinking that the other family would also want their real baby? 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Thats why every husband should be with his wife in labour room
true! to follow the nurse with the baby!
That's not possible in El Salvador where this happened. 😔
@@unmillondeamigos1075 I had a baby in a foreign country and searched until I found a doc (couldn't find any midwives) willing to let me call ALL the shots, which included the baby staying with me and me leaving early.
agreed!
Kristy Bharti in Canada yes. They hand the baby right away to the father if csection or birth to mom. Baby is with the parents the whole entire time. But in case they baby needs medical attention the father can follow the baby.
The dad falling so in love with the child so much that he couldn’t see that it wasn’t really his own child … There’s something really wholesome about that. Could you imagine the awkward feeling of realizing that you have been physically nourishing and emotionally bonding with a child that isn’t yours biologically?? I feel for this mother and father so much … I really can’t imagine the whirlwind of emotions they must have went through. This video is 6 years old now and I can’t help but to wonder if they have continued a relationship with the other family after all these years.
I love how the baby is just sleeping through this
XD
Hes a total mood😆
Zaed zain oh my gosh I’m calling the father-
Zaed zain it was just a joke dude😂 don’t think you would ever sexually harass him. Lol 😂 and how am a revealing my “dirty mind” to you? It was a joke because you said you wanted to kiss his chick lol 😂
Zaed zain well now you know it’s not..?
There’s something so pure about the mother’s energy. Just loving and radiating good energy.
Vivian Lee what asian upbringing ?
She’s my teacher, she’s from El Salvador and did have a rough childhood. Today she’s such a huge blessing and Moses runs around in her office all day He’s funny
She looks like a Latina
I sorta thought that too until she wanted to keep both babies then I said to myself this chick is nuts
Ya'll mean Latuna upbringing cause she's a Latina obviously.
Never let your baby out of your sight when you are in the hospital. When you sleep, have a family member watch the baby. Then go home asap.
She had a c-section. She is not allowed to go home before 4 days. She had to be checked on for that many days before being released by the doctor.
Props to you lady, Evan with doubts you still took care of the baby with them thoughts some women can end up rejecting the child but you still gave all your love throughout trying to figure things out well done ❤️🌺
I’m glad it took 3 months not 3 years or more 🎉 God bless them 🙏🏼
Should Never have been
3 months seem short but it is loss to the parents and child. Loss of time for bonding, for watching your child grow and progress.
@@lynjones9339 v
Exacly ! 3 years ? More heart crashing !
This kind of thing happens all the time. That's why I had my babies at home. Trust everyone... but cut the cards. 😎
The interviewer in this is such a great listener. He does not probe with unnecessary questions but gives the parents the space to tell their story. Some time that can be so healing. Someone holding space for you to tell your story without interruptions.
I agree. He appears very calm & considerate. Silence is so important in these situations. It gives the interviewees an opportunity to process & reflect. It also shows respect for them- they are being listened to rather than talked at....
Yes true
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼so true
You are right, he is doing his job the right way.
_Shro, you are correct, and you put it very well. I do not like it either when the interviewer tells the interviewee that it is okay to cry when they see them crying, and as a viewer at home, I am like, of course it is okay to cry, you do not have to tell them that. This interviewer did not tell her it was okay to cry, so with this and especially what you said in mind, the interviewer gets a mark of ten out of ten
I feel bad when one tells the doctor how they feel. But they can't listen . Thank God u got ur baby congratulations ❤️
She is speaking from her heart. There is no better storytelling than that!
So glad the babies are with the right families now. Moses is a sleeping champ. He was knocked out the whole time 😄
Dymond Kitty that's Moses. Jacob is the baby they gave back
Whichever.... you knew which one I was talking about 😂
Dymond Kitty
Dymond Kitty yup
Dymond Kitty 😂😂😂He was just... gone.
ok, but why don't people listen to women she told everyone that he is not her child
Nurses and doctors rarely listen to the mother unfortunately
post partum they say
If she was my friend I’d believe her
Because some women do have some delusional phase after birth
kzhead.info/sun/eaiTgNN5pqeebIU/bejne.html
My grandmother had this happen to her also - my mother became ill after birth - she was several months old at the time and ended up in a country hospital , back in 1940, she was there for a week or two and when they picked her up Gran said ‘this is not my baby’, was told ‘yes, yes, this is, she’s grown and changed some while here’, they started to head home - several hours away but Gran said she knew it wasn’t her ‘Maxi’, she could bring herself to even like this baby. So they went back - thankfully the other family had arrived and were stating the same to the staff so it was sorted quickly. What if mother’s instinct wasn’t so strong?
I hope the person responsible for mixing up the babie’s identities have been held accountable.
I hope they sued hospital!
Same here.
Same
I hope not. It is a hospital for helping people. If they make mistakes taking money from them will not help them to not make mistakes.
+Jamie Clumpas What you just said is really dumb.
yep
This happened to my brother. He was switched with another baby. Good thing my older sister noticed the birth mark on my brother's armpit and said that it's not the same baby.
Wtf???? I don't want to have a baby at a hospital ever now.
Omg!
@@lark3414 yeah it was 49 years ago. Good thing my older sister was very observant at a young age. My mom wasn’t even aware she was holding a different baby.
I will be having someone take pictures too. Inspection type. Ty.
Wow! Smart kid! Good thing your parents listened to her. Some parents would not believe their child. Amazing!
Wow, heartbreaking story. Glad everything turned out okay. The parents must have had to deal with quite a stressful adjustment period having to relearn who the baby is, their sensitivities, nursing, bonding, schedules...every baby is unique.
People judging them for saying they thought maybe they could keep both babies need to understand that the mind goes all over the place even to irrational hopes when trying to process something so crazy and horrible as this
These people should really adopt a child or maybe even two. You can tell she loves being a mother and is possibly quite good at it.
that's what i was thinking
Don't judge a book by its cover. You don't know her. Joke ........... Lightening up the mood. I'm sure she will be great mother to all her children.
Fatima Aziz in sure the commenter was just saying that she loves so much that she would be a great person to adopt babies, since she loved a baby who wasn't her own.
+Yaisha Diaz You really shouldn't hang out with the female wife. Learn to be a man and keep all the women happy not one female low second class female person.
Fatima Aziz lmao are you Muslim?
Why do people not trust a mother’s instinct?!! The urge to be ‘right’ & the fear of following ‘process & protocol’ is disturbing.
This is happening rn in the world
Unsurprisingly, it’s often wrong.
My wife and I were so lucky that our children received brackets before leaving the delivery room, why can't this be standard protocol. Now I'm wondering if a mix-up occurred in the hospital my children were born at.
Nurses are followers . They take orders . Not allowed to think
Is not her baby
What a marvelous story! So happy you got your baby back and will be able to stay in contact with the baby you nursed for those few months. God Bless both families. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
SO GLAD YOU FOLLOWED YOUR GUT. GLAD YOUR CHILD WAS SAFELY GIVEN BACK.💜😊
You sound so beautiful and interesting permit me to acknowledge the beauty in all you’ve just said….. I hope you don’t mind me sending in some compliments??
Thank you. God is good 😊
All the time, where are you from my friend, hope you’re having an amazing day?
Don’t question a mother’s intuition, if a mom thinks something is wrong, there’s probably something wrong. Especially with their children.
EXACTLY!!
What about the mothers who leave New born in a bin outside, what intuition is that
Very odd couple.
@@garrieg3485 yeh we use bin
@@anwarabegum4299 thought so, I just wanted to make sure👍 you also had a very good question.
Stop blaming the mom. She trusted her drs and nurses, like most of us would.
She was also almost likely out of it because she just gave birth. Her body was just pumped with drugs and the powerful hormones that are a part of the birthing process. When I gave birth I found it hard to even engage with anybody in the room for the first day. Every woman reacts differently to birth.
Nobody was blamming her..lol I never saw a single comment blamming her for what happened.
Lol Nobody blamed her except the interviewer kinda
Aww, this made me cry! Im so glad that they were reunited with their baby and still got to spend some time with Jacob.
I suspect that some of these "wrong baby" incidents are done deliberately by disgruntled and envious staff. This level of incompetence is unforgivable.
That was a total negligence of the staff's part, they should pay the damage that they brought to the family. The saddest part of this is giving up the baby that she took care for 3 months and I understand where she's coming from. Lesson learned is you should trust your motherly instinct because mom knows best.
you'd be surprised how common mixups like these are. happened to me with my parents. thankfully my dad discovered it before they took me home. we were born the same day, in the same delivery room, and were given the same first name. the nurse didn't even bother to double-check our last names on our wristbands to ensure each baby was with the right parents, it was just, "here you go".
I'm sure whoever was responsible was found and paid the price.
a mother always knows, that's for sure.
@@nichegoseberazdvatri staff in hospitals work unsocial hours under stress all the time and cannot remember vividly what happened 5months earlier. So in practice its buck passing and the weakest link gets the blame. The ones REALLY responsible rarely gets punished, on the contrary they get moved to or promoted to new jobs in similar environment (sometimes overseas with juicy expat packages)
I doubt it.
They need to sue those nurses who told her the baby she was holding was hers
What a sweet couple ❤️
They better sue them
Um, this unfortunately happens more than you think out of 4 million births 28,000 get switched every year, overall this translates to about 1 mistake per every 1,000 baby transfers.
Yven Saint Lauren where do these figures come from please . I am intrigued
Quick google search no need to do alot of research
the best part is this baby sleeping peacefully in his mom's lap while this traumatic scary story about him is being told
That almost happened to mine, they took him for hours to give him a bath, I got pissed and went looking for him when they couldn't produce him. I found him, they had mixed him up with another baby and he was about to be circumcized not bathed. I know most parents wouldn't storm the building but I worked there in another department so I knew where to look, they were pissed but 3 hrs for a bath? My regret was not looking sooner. My second born wasn't allowed to leave the room!
Typical that the mother would be ignored as being "hysterical," "under the influence of medication," etc. This is the type of misogyny that women experience constantly in the USA.
The birth was in EL Salvador.
Still typical in the US
Not only in US it’s all over
I can't roll my eyes more at you.
@@laurenattard8460 I know from personal experience.
The moment she started crying I felt like to sue hospital myself.
Both parents would have gone through the angush, grief confusement and happiness at the same time
How traumatizing. The rollercoaster of emotions she went through, just after her delivery, the dismissal of her intuition, the guilt and validation at the same time, the loss. Devastating 😢
Mothers instinct is very strong we need to stop letting people tell us different. I still have strong instinctive feelings even for my grandkids.
booo huuu
Not much instinct is needed when you are given two different babies in less than 24 hours.
instinct is not always right.There's this mother who never treated her son as hers claiming he was switched at birth turned out he is indeed her son whom she abused verbally and emotionally throughout his existence.
@@horrormovielover6725 To that I would say that she probably didnt even have motherly instincts. Some women just do not. It seems that drugs (no excuse) seems to have a dehumanizing effect on people as well. A lot of people get on drugs and just dont care about anything else anymore
There are always exceptions to every rule.
