Background
A woman from British Columbia, once convicted of animal cruelty, now faces allegations of inappropriate contact with infants at a local hospital. The woman, who previously received probation in 2016 for the abduction and abuse of a family’s Labrador retriever, is again under public scrutiny.
The Current Allegations
Hospital authorities in the Fraser Valley region reported that the woman was allegedly seen handling babies without authorization. Law enforcement has initiated an investigation, and the hospital is cooperating fully to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
Officials emphasized that no infants were harmed, but the situation raised serious concerns about security procedures within the facility.
Prior Conviction
According to court records, the same woman was sentenced to probation nearly a decade ago after being found guilty of forcing entry onto private property, stealing a family dog, and causing the animal injury before abandoning it in a remote area. The incident drew local outrage and resulted in changes to local animal welfare enforcement practices.
Community and Institutional Response
The hospital administration stated that additional security measures have already been implemented. A spokesperson noted that “the safety of patients, especially newborns, remains the institution’s top priority.” Police continue to investigate, and charges connected to the recent incidents are pending confirmation.
“The health and safety of every patient in our care are our highest responsibility,” said a representative from the Fraser Health Authority.
Author’s summary: A B.C. woman once convicted of animal cruelty faces new charges after allegedly handling newborns at a hospital, prompting a police probe and tighter security.
