Everyone at Medical City should be alert to any unusual behavior from individuals relating to infants or children. Be alert to:
- Any individual who does not have children being cared for within the facility or who you believe does not have a legitimate reason to ask questions or get information relating to procedures or the layout of an office or floor where infants or children are seen or cared for. Such questions might relate to infant feeding times, when newborns are taken to their mothers, security cameras or other questions about security on the campus.
- Missing uniforms or other Medical City identification.
- Anyone physically carrying an infant in a stairwell or a child who it appears is being physically restrained or removed from an area against his/her will.
- Any individual cradling a package or bag near the maternity unit or out of an infant care area.
If an abduction occurs or is suspected to have occurred:
- A Code Pink will be paged overhead with the location from where the abduction occurred with the suspect description if known.
- In you suspect an individual has abducted a child do not do anything that will compromise the safety of the infant/child.
- If the person in question refuses to stop, call for help and if all else fails let them go and get as much information as possible, such as physical and vehicle description and direction of travel.
