Shocking DSD!!

WHEN PROCESS MATTERS MORE THAN A NEWBORN'S LIFE -
This week a baby was safely relinquished in a Baby Saver. Under our normal processes the baby would have been removed immediately and transported for medical assessment and care and then DSD intervened and things almost did not work out and cost the NPO R4000!
What actually happened?

⏰ 17:33 – Baby reported.
⏰ 17:38 – Emergency services confirmed and ambulance requested.
⏰ 17:52 – Still waiting for ambulance response.
⏰ 17:56 – Baby's condition appeared to require immediate medical attention.
⏰ 17:59 – Private ambulance requested because government response was taking too long.
⏰ 18:45 – Private ambulance finally arrived.
⏰ 19:09 – Paramedics reported the baby was critical and could not wait for SAPS.
⏰ 19:17 – Baby finally arrived at the hospital.

It was immediately apparent that this was not a baby born in a medical facility. The umbilical cord had not been properly clamped. Instead, a small piece of cotton had been tied around it. The cord was still leaking and bleeding.This baby required urgent medical assessment.

Yet instead of being able to move the baby immediately, the Baby Saver organisation was required to follow instructions imposed by DSD Tshwane that only designated officials could remove the baby and take over the statutory process. What followed was a chain of delays, referrals, waiting for responses, waiting for transport, and waiting for authorisation.
Almost two hours passed before the baby finally reached hospital.
Ask yourself: If a newborn is bleeding, cold, dehydrated, premature, or experiencing complications after birth, how long should that baby be forced to wait while adults debate procedure?
Baby Savers exist because vulnerable newborns do not have time to wait. Every minute matters. Every delay matters. Every decision has consequences.
This baby reached hospital. But systems designed to protect children should never create obstacles that delay life-saving medical care.
A bleeding newborn waited nearly two hours to reach hospital. Babies won't survive on bureaucracy!

Shocking!!, 😡

Today a new born baby was placed in a baby saver of one of our members. A new born baby, unclamped umbilical cord. They immediatly took the baby to SouthRand Hospital . The doctor on duty shouted at the caregiver who brought in the baby, asking why the baby was not brought in yesterday or even immediately, whilst it is obvious this baby was only born a few hours ago? By law, this baby should have received a birth pcr and preventative meds and a check up. If this is the treatment our members receive for a baby placed in a saver, how are birth mothers treated?

"Your presence is their protection!"

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in protecting children. Let us create safe spaces, talk openly with our children, monitor their online activity and recognise warning signs early. Your presence is protection.

Miss T was not feeling well this morning so I gave her some meds from the magic Pegasus range and let her stay in bed. She got up earlier declaring she feels much better. Can she have something to eat? Helped herself and brought me my favorite snack "you haven't eaten yet Mom. You need to eat something or you'll get sick." ❤️ My little Mama Bear.. Love you darling.. Glad you are feeling better. Thank you for caring about me. ❤️

The three-day hearing examined whether baby saver boxes protect children or violate the Children’s Act.
