One would think that a prudent hospital would run a quick DNA test on the baby and mother in every case. These types of tests could be contracted and given some reasonable response time. After the DNA tests are confirmed a more sturdy, non-removable (easily) bracelet could be attached to the baby.
Find the smart@$$, commie lib racial agitator, OR the surly, resentful “native Canadian” who worked in the hospital at the time and would have gotten pleasure from seeing an indian child reared as caucasian and vice-versa, and you’ll have the culprit who switched them.
Well, if they SWITCHED the babies, that’s two misplacements at the same time!
Thinking back to when my son was born in 1983—the hospital staff was so careful to avoid mixing him up with any other baby. They put matching wrist/ankle bands on us before leaving the delivery room. Whenever they would bring him to my room, they would ask if I could identify him as my baby, and physically check the matching wrist/ankle bands.
Since the only other baby in the hospital at that time was a girl, I’m pretty sure I would have recognized a mix-up even without the matching wrist/ankle bands.
Not sure how you misidentifying a newborn with a 3 day old baby.
Reminds me of the Jim Carey movie, Me, Myself, and Irene, and the scene where he is playing a video game on the couch with his 3 “sons”.
At what point, and with whom, was BO switched ???

Happened to my mom when she was an infant. The hospital tried to send my grandma home with the wrong baby. She caught it right away and raised the roof.
