I would find in favor of this wonderful, loving and concerned couple, and award them sixteen dollars and fifty cents.

Milk happens....

[MediaMole]

This is worth a lawsuit? It was a mixup, not a life changing event. Feeling uncomfortable is not grounds for a big cash settlement.

[SuziQ]

I could understand a lawsuit it if they'd been sent home with the wrong baby, but just nursing one? As the article states, there have been wet nurses for years, and I don't think anything bad has ever happened to them.

I hope a kind judge commiserates with them, then tells them, nicely of course, that they're wasting the court's time, and they should go home and raise that little boy.

The patient-care technician offered a tearful apology, which they accepted, Scott Spiegel said. "But it's not enough," he added.

Of course it's not when you think one serving of breast milk is worth $30,000.

[basil]

I’d cut your offer in half!

[piytar]

And then hit them with court costs and attorney fees...

[Dustbunny]

Ditto

[AnAmericanMother]

OH, for pete's sake - she's going to begrudge an innocent little babe a drink?

What's the value of a draught of breast milk? No more than an expensive cuppa coffee.

Give her $1.50 and let her go buy a latte.

[livius]

And then assign them court costs...

There was a great Dick VanDyke episode where Dick became convinced the baby (Richie) they had at their home was the wrong one.

This is a frivolous lawsuit. The family should be fined for filing it. No harm was done.

[freekitty]

Didn’t the mother check to see if it was her child? /sarc

[pnh102]

Tort reform... NOW.

[hosepipe]

Reminds of a joke..
The baby was so UGLY the doctor slapped the mother..

[john in springfield]

while no one was injured or sickened, the Chicago couple says the hospital should be held responsible for the mix-up. They are seeking at least $30,000 in damages.

"And we hope this doesn't happen to anyone else," said Jennifer Spiegel, a teacher.

$850 and a written apology from the hospital. Next case.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"Scott Spiegel, 33, an attorney who is handling the lawsuit, recalled: "I asked the nurse to take me to him right away."

So, daddy is a lawyer.

So he didn't need anyone else to try and get a $30,000 payday out of the sort of thing that normal people used to just accept as part of life in an imperfect world.

He's no doubt internalized all he needed to to aggressively pursue such opportunities whenever they present themselves the opportunity as result of the liberal ideology indoctrination that is an integral part of our law schools today.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

It looks like the husband is an ambulance chaser?

Scott Spiegel

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The suit should be thrown out, and the attorney who took the case disbarred.

[RedMDer]

My parents met their longest lasting friends when the moms, mine being one of them were handed the wrong infant girls. They worked it out about 60 years ago, we think ;). As a result our two families, kids and all, became life-long friends.

[Lorianne]

Please. This is worth a lawsuit?
We need a loser pays judicial system.

[Tax Government]

The opposing party should counter-sue, saying they’ve been harmed by the intentional filing of a frivolous lawsuit.
