(LifeSiteNews) – A baby born alive into a toilet was left untreated by first responders, who put the living child into a biohazard bag.
Now the emergency medical technicians (EMTs) have had their licenses suspended following an investigation conducted by the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) into the August 1 incident.
According to the published report, Shawn Hoyle and Jarrod Martin responded to a 911 call from a woman who had gone into premature labor. The mother was found in the bathroom when the EMTs arrived, having already delivered her child, who was in the toilet.
Hoyle and Martin cut the umbilical cord and moved the mother to another room, leaving the baby, who had been born at 24 or 25 weeks gestation, in the toilet, fighting for his life. The report stated that Martin later “removed Patient I from the toilet and determined Patient I did not have a brachial pulse present and also determined there was no movement of Patient I’s limbs after tapping the feet.”
Martin proceeded to put his patient in a biohazard bag instead of attempting to revive him.
