Bogor Police Forms A Joint Team To Handle Addicted Baby Complaints For A Year

BOGOR - Bogor Resort Police, West Java, formed a joint team to handle complaints from parents from Ciseeng, Bogor, Siti Mauliah (37) who admitted that the baby was swapped when giving birth at the hospital.

"We formed a joint team from the Criminal Investigation Unit, Intelligence, then cyber patrols and trauma healing teams from the Bogor Resort Police," said Bogor Police Chief AKBP Rio Wahyu Anggoro as reported by ANTARA, Monday, August 14.

He explained that the joint team was deployed to help handle babies in a comprehensive manner.

"This team can work hand in hand to find out how this truth can be achieved and each party can get clarity about each other's biological children," he said.

The police, he said, would send an invitation letter to Sentosa Hospital to clarify the complaint filed by Siti Mauliah.

According to Rio, the letter sent Monday (14/8) was addressed to the president director of the hospital where Situ Mauliah underwent the delivery process one year ago.

The police will also go to the hospital located in Kemang District, Bogor Regency, to conduct an investigation to determine exactly what happened to Siti.

"Hopefully we can find out where the exchanged baby is and who is now with Mrs. S, this belongs to whom. This is a social nature, we want to prioritize the conscience of a mother," said Rio.

Previously, Siti Mauliah's attorney, Rusdy Ridho, said that his party had complained about the incident experienced to the Women and Children Service Unit (PPA) of the Bogor Police.

Initially, Siti Mauliah gave birth with a caesarean operation at Sentosa Hospital, Kemang District, Bogor Regency on July 18, 2022. At that time, Siti was still breastfeeding the baby she was giving birth to.

However, said Rusdy, when Siti breastfeeded on the second day after giving birth, her client felt there was some difference with the baby being born, especially in the hair that looked heavier.

Then, when she was about to return from the hospital, the nurse who was serving asked Siti about the marker bracelet worn by the baby. However, at that time the nurse mentioned that only the bracelet was swapped.

"It was confirmed that the reason the hospital was only exchanging bracelets. Until it dragged on for this year," explained Rusdy.

He explained that about two months ago his party had held an audience with the hospital and its directors. Then the hospital gave an answer to check DNA in Jakarta.

"After 10 days later and two families were collected, and the DNA test results showed that the samples A and B were negative or not biological from patient A (Siti)," he said.

Rusdy as a lawyer, tried to hold the hospital accountable to find Siti's real child.

"The suspect from the hospital who was swapped against the bracelet was patient B, but patient B did not want to do a DNA test. Finally, as a power of attorney, we made a complaint to the Bogor Police PPA unit," he said.

A spokesman for Sentosa Hospital, Gregorius B Djako, previously explained that the hospital had written to patient B, who was suspected of having the baby exchanged with baby Siti Mauliah, for DNA testing.

"We have repeatedly sent letters through patient B's attorney, first last Sunday, and secondly today via pdf," said Greg's familiar man.

The hospital continues to communicate with patient B, in order to find a bright spot in this case. Because Siti Mauliah has done a DNA test and the results are negative.
