People are so heartless... what would you do if a HOSPITAL took your baby?!

I'm glad I'm canadian, since we don't really need to pay for our hospital bills. Sucks to hear about that though. Maybe the father and other people in the family could help them out. A baby NEEDS their mother... Where has the world gone wrong now? :P

Well you have to understand this is Serbia we are talking about. Im sure something like that cant happen in western countries, but this is a country which was in war few years ago so im sure their legal system is not at the level as somewhere else. I dont know how war and living in such country can affect human nature but im sure it does. People have seen so many horrible things that their compassion can get questionable some times. But saying that, Serbians are known as very hospitable nation in the past and also now...but the poverty and the situation in the past must have left some consequencies on people's behaviour.

I'm shocked! This would never happen in America. I don't think it would happen in a lot of countries. There are many things wrong with our world, but denying a mother her child because of money issues is at the top of the list of inhumane acts. I'm appalled. Hopefully this article will draw attention that will get enough people talking to demand a change.

I'm pretty sure in the US that would be against the law. It should be in Belgrade too!

OMGS! I thought this kind of thing had been abolished. What jerks and other stronger words one doesn't use in polite company. Years ago, in the USA, they used to do this too. My Grandpa had to drive up to Los Angelas and pay for me because my parents couldn't afford the bill. Then he was allowed to take me out of the hospital. Apparently they did allow my Mum to spend time with me though. Thinking about this, doesn't this equate to Third Degree Kidnapping? And...when I was studying law all those years ago...Extortion. Wow, a hospital involved in Extortion and Third Degree Kidnapping!
