Multiple hospitals in the Tacoma, Wash., area have increased security after a woman attempted to enter areas with newborn babies, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
People visiting birth centers in four hospitals in Pierce County will now be asked to sign in and show identification and will be escorted to their destination by hospital security officers.
The new policies are a response to a woman’s repeated attempts to gain access to the newborn wards at hospitals in the area.
The woman was also recorded on video surveillance cameras at St. Joseph Medical Center, and her photograph has been sent to area hospitals with a warning for hospital officials.
