Guarding Your Baby from Baby Snatchers



(CNN) -- Three weeks ago, while recovering in the hospital after giving birth to a baby girl, Rena Jones was amped up and on guard. "I didn't sleep for a whole 72 hours, because I was nervous thinking somebody was going to come again to take my baby."  If you've ever walked the floor of a maternity ward it's clear that security is intense: time-delayed door locks, controlled access panels, closed-circuit television monitoring, matching numbered ID bands for moms and their babies, electronic infant-bracelet alarms. 

Just curious, does CNN think that the people who need to read this are actually reading the news?  Because my bets are the kind of people who would do things such as "leave their baby alone," or mistook the random person offering to "fluff your pillow" as a nurse are probably mowing down cheeto's and watching Maury or TMZ right now.  Either that or they're just finishing up 5th period English class. 

Because I'm fairly certain normal people are being kept awake at night with nightmares about baby snatchers. It's an illogical fear.  Who would snatch a baby? It's like stealing a bill for $200k and paying it off for no reason.  Sleepless nights, poopy diapers and 18+ years or financial dependency, yea I'm sure people are just lining up to risk a felony for that.
