Over 20,000 Babies a Year, in the United States, are Given to the Wrong Mothers.

(PRWEB) October 22, 2003

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Security That isn't There.

Prospective parents around the United States are, at this instant, waiting for their new babies to arrive. They're waiting in waiting rooms, in prep-rooms and in delivery rooms. They're all waiting and wishing and praying that their newborn angel is born healthy, with ten fingers and ten toes.

After the baby is born and shown to them, parents breathe a breath of relief because they believe their worries are over. Nothing could be further from the truth. According to Jeff Aldridge CEO of Security Assessments International, a nationally recognized security company, over 20,000-mother/baby mix-ups occur every year in the United States. In an interview with Shauna Lake of in KUTV, Mr. Aldridge went on to say that,

"The problem that we have with mother baby mix ups is the human element that's involved," Aldridge says human error is usually to blame, reading a baby's ID band incorrectly, putting a baby in the wrong bassinet or replacing an ID band with the wrong one.

New Security Measures are Called for.

A new bill was introduced to the 108th Congress this past January by Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson requiring hospital receiving Federal dollars to set up an identification system that links the baby to mom as soon as it is born.

A New Security System is Born.

A company in New York has a revolutionary answer to ensure that every baby goes home with the proper parent. First Impression's infant protection and baby switching prevention system protects the parents, the babies and the hospitals from human error, acts of malice or incompetence. As soon as the baby is born, and the security bracelet is in place, a one-of a-kind stamp is imprinted on the baby's inner wrist. The mother is imprinted immediately after the baby with the same stamp, imprinting the same one-of-a-kind image and same 3 digit number. The imprint has a distinctive image and a 3-digit code number. At once, by comparing the images and numbers, the mother or anyone else can distinguish her baby from any other. The imprinter is given to the mother and never used by hospital personnel again. The ink on the imprint is the same ink commonly used by surgeons to mark patients before surgery. It is completely safe, it will not rub off by mistake and lasts five to six days on the skin. At a glance the mother can see for herself that she's going home with her baby.    For more information visit http://www.thebabystamp.com , call First Impression at (212) 252-2312 or write to info@thebabystamp.com
