Baby disappeared: Police starts big search in Clinic Favorites

On Thursday, the police were called for an alarming incident in the Favorites Clinic in Vienna when a newborn had disappeared from the neonatology station. The mother of the one week old had found that her baby had no longer returned after a short leave of the room. An attentive nurse immediately informed the mother, who immediately informed the police.

The immediate reaction of the police enabled a large contingent on site that were looking for the entire hospital and systematically looking for the missing child. Exciting vehicles were also undergoing a check to ensure that the baby was not smuggled out of the hospital. The situation remained tense by the afternoon, as there was no evidence of how the baby could disappear. A conclusion of the search measures was not in sight at the time of reporting.

Questions about security and access control

Although the possibility of kidnapping cannot be excluded, there is currently no valid evidence of this. The parents received support from psychologists within the hospital while the police conducted interviews with relatives. The exact method with which the baby could be slipped remains a mystery.

In an official statement by the Vienna Health Association (Wigev), it was emphasized that there is no open access to the neonatology station. To get in, visitors have to ring at a intercom and prove that they have an authorization to enter. These safety precautions should help to ensure that such an incident cannot be done lightly.

While the search for the newborn is now being extended to the entire city area, the police warn against entering the clinic. The security authorities explained that there are no acute dangers for people in the hospital. However, it remains to be seen how the case develops and which new information could contribute to clarifying the events.
