I saw with my own eyes the NICU staff at St. Mary's in West Palm Beach emphatically declare that they had no moral obligation to feed a newborn baby boy because he was born with a brain anomaly. The adoptive parents were called "pathetic" because they interferred with the staffs goal of killing the baby. They could not imagine anyone wanting this baby and watched this baby go from 5lbs to 3 lbs something in the 2 weeks before the adoptive family found out about him and got to his side.

Another baby's bassinet was covered with a blanket for at least a day, no feeding, no IV, no mom or dad, no one holding that precious little one. Eventually that baby was wheeled away when he/she died.

How is it that you saw this, and did you end up reporting it to the authorities or the press?

My friends were the adoptive parents and I being in Florida drove down to meet them the weekend they arrived in Florida for the baby.I was at the hospital for many conversations of utter arrogance by the staff at St. Mary's NICU

FL Board of Health was notified, JCAH was notified and local newspaper reporter was told the story. James Dobson's Focus on the Family was informed and they said they don't get involved in these cases. The only follow up was a generic response by the FL Board of Health and nothing after that. We have continued to tell this story to whomever would listen. At one point an organization that was passionate about this cause was going to do an independent investigation but that also appears to have fell by the wayside.

So here I am 3 years later sharing this with whomever has ears to hear.
