According to CBS2, a woman with a similar sounding name had passed away earlier that morning, leading to the mix-up and the trauma that ensued. Goodwin says she’s still in shock from the incident and the family may file charges. "We looking at emotional duress, emotional stress - you know, that's basically what our issue is," said her mother, and Abrams’s granddaughter, Tracie Covington. The hospital is investigating and says it "deeply regrets" the incident.
Family Upset After Hospital Death Mix-Up
New Mothers Claim Brookdale Hospital Mixed Up Babies
A pair of new mother are planning to sue Brooklyn's Brookdale Hospital for allegedly getting their babies mixed up. Shaquana Brown and Shatiesha Brown, who are not related, both gave birth to little girls on January 31. However, Shatiesha Brown was being monitored afterwards and wasn't allowed to see her baby, Aniya, for 24 hours—during which time, the infant was brought to Shaquana Brown, who said, "I was happy. I was holding her. Her father was holding her. I was breastfeeding her." But then a nurse told her later that the baby wasn't hers (there was also an incident at the nursery window between both Brown families, arguing over the baby) and it apparently took the hospital 30 minutes to find her baby. Shatiesha Brown was also devastated, because little Aniya, having fed on another woman's breastmilk, was rejecting her own mother's milk. Shatiesha Brown's lawyer told WABC 7, "There are so many ways to prevent this from happening and the hospital failed in every way."
