This is the result of allowing a kid to roam at will around a hospital.     This was unheard of years ago.

 

A six-year-old boy allegedly killed a newborn baby after being left to roam around a hospital's maternity unit, despite complaints from parents.

Police have launched a criminal inquiry after the horror unfolded at the Jeanne-de-Flandre Children's Hospital in the northern city of Lille.

It was there that a baby identified as Zayneb-Cassandra – who was born premature, at 7.5 months, to a 23-year-old woman, earlier this month – was declared dead on Tuesday.

She suffered a traumatic brain injury last Friday after allegedly being dropped on the floor by the boy 'who treated her like a doll,' said an investigating source.

Despite being reported as a 'disruptive presence' in the hospital, the boy was found alone with the unconscious baby in a neonatal unit.

The baby was her mother's first child, and she was delivered by cesarean section, said the investigating source.

The 'disruptive six-year-old' – the son of another mother who was in a maternity ward – was meanwhile spotted wandering around the hospital unattended.

Zayneb-Cassandra's grandmother told the Voix du Nord newspaper: 'The boy would arrive at 7am and spend all day running up and down the hallways.

'All the mothers were complaining, and a nurse even warned the child's mother that there was a problem. He was entering the other rooms.

'He also entered Zayneb's room for the first time. He said she looked like a doll, and my husband, who was there, took him out.'

Last Friday, Zayneb's mother was signing discharge papers, when 'all of a sudden, the family received a call from a ward manager, saying they needed to come right away – a little boy had been playing with the baby, who had fallen.'

According to the family, who cite another mother in a neighboring room, 'a loud bang' was heard when the baby's head connected with the ground.

Zayneb was found unresponsive on the floor, next to the six-year-old, who was on a chair.

'It seems he tried to grab her by her nappy, and she fell on her head,' said Zayneb's grandmother.

The baby was rushed to intensive care, but she was declared dead on Tuesday, after suffering 'a serious a brain injury.'

A very tragic story.
I would hope that could never happen here, but some of the behaviour in public that parents allow their kids to get away with, and when the general public are so wary of speaking out...I suspect unless people get a grip, anything could happen.

 It is a tragedy. The parents must have been beyond devastated. The little boy should not have been running about corridors in a hospital, it shows how busy and rushed off their feet NHS staff are to not have two minutes to return the child to its Mother.

That being said, she was told he was running around the ward and could see for herself he was absent. He's only 6. Why wasn't she worried enough to make sure her own son was safe,? I can't fathom that part

The parents must feel like their world is broken, I can't even imagine their pain. .

FFS!   Why would any normal person do this?

Evil nurse Lucy Letby and Sara Sharif's killer stepmother are pals and spend hours playing Uno together behind bars, it has been reported. 

The child killers are said to while away the hours in their comfortable cells at Surrey's HMP Bronzefield with endless rounds of the popular card game.
