Sampang Resort Police, East Java, revealed the perpetrators of dumping babies in the Emergency Installation (IGD) toilet at the dr. Mohammad Zyn Regional General Hospital, Sampang.

"The perpetrator of the dumping of the baby is the mother of the baby from Dalpenang Village, Sampang District," said Head of Public Relations of the Sampang Police, Ipda Sujianto, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 29.

Previously, on Tuesday morning, a number of visitors and medical officers at the Sampang Hospital were shocked by the discovery of a baby in the hospital emergency room.

The hospital immediately reported the findings to the Sampang Police and the police immediately conducted an investigation.

"We launched an intelligence team to collect information, record patients being treated at the hospital, and finally found evidence of the perpetrators," said Sujianto.

The results of the team's investigation in the field led to one person who came to the hospital for treatment while pregnant.

"From this data, we then conducted an investigation, examined the relatives and parents of the pregnant woman, including the person concerned. The results were true," he said.

Sujianto explained that the baby who was dumped in the emergency room of the Sampang Hospital was still five months old with a male gender. The baby is the daughter of a girl with the initials A from Dalpenang Village, Sampang District.

The baby is the result of an out-of-Marriage relationship with his partner, so A tries to abort it by taking medication.

The special drug for abortion was taken at the perpetrator's house in Dalpenang Village and a few minutes later he experienced an extraordinary stomach pain reaction.

"When the person concerned had stomach pain, he was rushed to the hospital for treatment accompanied by his grandmother and mother," said Ipda Sujianto.

Then when he had just arrived at the emergency room at the Sampang Hospital, A went straight to the bathroom alone and gave birth without the help of his family and medical personnel.

After that, she put the baby in the toilet in a dead condition.

"The incident that happened to person A was not told by the person concerned to the medical personnel at the Sampang Hospital," he said.

For her actions, the baby's mother was threatened with Article 306 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code with a maximum sentence of nine years in prison.
