FOXNews.com – Texas Hospital Security Guard Uses Stun Gun to Stop Father From Leaving With Newborn – Local News | News Articles | National News | US News — When you read the whole story it makes you wonder what is wrong with everyone involved.
In a confrontation captured on videotape, a hospital security guard fired a stun gun to stop a defiant father from taking home his newborn baby, sending both man and child crashing to the floor.
Now the man says the baby girl suffers from head trauma because she was dropped.
“I’ve got to wonder what kind of moron would Tase an adult holding a baby,” said George Kirkham, a former police officer and criminologist at the University of California-Berkeley. “It doesn’t take rocket science to realize the baby is going to fall.”
The trouble began in April when Williams Lewis, 30, said he and his wife felt mistreated by staff at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas so they decided to leave. Hospital employees told him doctors would not allow it, but Lewis picked up the baby and strode to a bank of elevators.

Based on the several reports I’ve read, the couple has a history with social services. The department took custody as a precaution against the child being harmed Furthermore, much of what the father says doesn’t add up. Infants, rarely, if ever, are given MRIs. Social services would have access to medical reports, but not necessarily parents. The video does not show the baby being dropped on her head. And, so on.
Regarding ‘Mr. Fusion,’ a person who will accuse a more informed commenter of lying is a fool.
A couple who witnessed the taser incident has come forward:

As a Tasaer Law Enforcement Instructor- i see nothing wrong with this use of force. Good job security!
This is an excellent blog that is related to Stun Guns that I opened the eyes and thought that I must keep stun guns for self defense because usually I work for call centre at nights, so it becomes necessary and to protect my life. I know it gives me small array of hope to escape.
I’m glad he did it. Good work security!
I walked out of the hospital with my second son. They told us there was a three hour wait to talk to finance. We were ready to go. See ya.
They then told us we could not get out of the parking garage elevator on the floor I was parked on. Heh Heh. Watch me!!!!!!!
Dr”s do not have the authority to make someone stay at the hospital. They act as if they do. But it is a bluff.
