(Des Moines, IA) — Police in Des Moines are trying to identify a man they say went into the neonatal intensive care unit at MercyOne hospital and bottle-fed a baby. Officers say the man pretended to be the child’s father and was trespassing. He was caught on security camera footage entering and leaving the hospital. MercyOne said in a statement that it takes the safety and security of patients very seriously and is cooperating with Des Moines police in the matter. It happened around midnight on December 28th. Investigators say the family is very frightened, but the child was unharmed and the only crime committed was trespassing.
