seeder Posted January 7, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Quote There must be a mistake? Grandma returns her newborn grandson to the clinic where he was born because she thinks he's too UGLY to be her relative The woman stormed into the clinic in the city of Santa Marta in Colombia She demanded staff swap the baby back saying staff had switched him a birth Staff said he had been the only baby boy delivered at the clinic on that day http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4095852/There-mistake-Grandma-returns-newborn-grandson-clinic-born-thinks-s-UGLY-relative.html Edited January 7, 2017 by seeder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acute Posted January 7, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 7, 2017 It's quite understandable. If I got an ugly grandson, I would do the same! Actually, I'm too lazy. I'd probably DHL the baby back to the clinic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell some B.S on this story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other news sites have picked it up since http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/grandma-took-grandson-back-clinic-9575201 It does sound far-fetched unless the grandma has some health issues, that would help explain her behaviour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted January 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I would like to see a picture of the grand-mother, to see if the baby resembles her. 15 minutes ago, Still Waters said: It does sound far-fetched unless the grandma has some health issues, that would help explain her behaviour. And mental issues, I feel for the grandson if she has and hope she is never left to babysit him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other news sites have picked it up since Just because other news sources report it doesn't make it any more real or true. However IF the story is true at all (and I use the term 'true' loosely) then yeah, granny does have mental issues but one would still have to question why the parents would leave their kid with her or let her near them without supervision if she has a pre-existing mental issue. Mental issues do not just pop-up from one day to the next. Still...gonna paste my "Nonsense Warning Flags" on this. (Actually on any report for that matter) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sees Posted January 7, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Although it was her mistake since it was the only boy delivered at the clinic that day, nevertheless she was probably wary of this recent news.... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/dec/15/babies-born-royal-london-hospital-could-leave-wrong-mother It wouldn't be the first time that babies were given to the wrong mother! Although the incidence is very low, it must be a worrying nightmare for expectant mothers in hospital. Imagine a lifetime of being with the wrong parents! That said, the grandma also hasn't taken account the gene factor, i.e. maybe the son looked like someone else in their family tree. I have to say I find babies are not exactly easy on the eye for the most part (I struggle to be complimentary when I see a new born baby!) To me they look a bit like wrinkly old men! Just saying....

Where were the parents in all this? (if the story were true, that is) Of course the recent concern over babies being switched is not an excuse. I wasn't presenting it as that but just understanding what her concern might have been. The mistake she made was declaring it as an established mistake! Yes it does seem odd that the parents are not mentioned. Edited January 7, 2017 by sees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
