Killing My Baby And Exterminating my generation

 You must pay for taking my wife away from me, killing our baby and exterminating my generation - Johnny De Goodman



My wife was pregnant, Her due date was 29th October. She has passed her EDD as she was 40 weeks plus 3 days due. She went for her routine check up and did scan last week Tuesday, 1st November 2022. The scan results confirmed that baby mother and child were all in perfect condition.


The doctor told her if she does not go into natural labour between that Tuesday till the end of the week, she should come with her bags the following week so as to be manually induced into labour.


So on Sunday night 6th November 2022 at about past 11pm she started having stomach pains.


Then we proceeded to the hospital.


We got to the hospital by 12 midnight and the doctor available told her she was 5 cm dilated and was already in labour.


They said she would need to get to 10cm dilated before she will be taking to delivery room.


By 2am, the doctor came to observe her and burst her water bag.


At about 5 am the doctor told me that the baby was in distress and deficated in my wife's womb and said that if the baby stays any longer in the womb it will poss some future health threat to the child when delivered or the child might likely die in the womb. And recommended her for operation. I and my wife gave our consent immediately.


The doctor kept on delaying in commencing with the operation without any viable reason except that the gynaecologist and the team of doctors that would perform the operation need to arrive the theater.


By past 6 am I went again to meet the doctor to know why they are yet to commence the operation, I met him handing over to another consultant, asked him if he was leaving and he said he was done for the day. I asked him about the operation that he suggested, and he said it will soon commence and also told me that they may likely also reconsider her delivering normally without being operated.


I asked further if there was no cause for alarm considering the previous report he gave, and he said there was nothing to worry about.


8.15 am my wife, walked into the theater for the operation.


By past 11 am they came to tell me that they gave her drugs to prepare her for the operation and after some minutes, her heart stopped beating, her pulse stopped responding.


How can a woman that came into the hospital full of health and physically strong automatically stop beating immediately she was administered drugs on????


The doctors failed to bring out the baby from her womb even after when they confirmed to me that baby was still alive in the womb


The operation was not done, my wife gone, baby gone.


They abandoned me, my wife's lifeless body, our innocent unborn baby in the theater without anybody coming to give even a word of sympathy let alone explain to me what happened till this moment I write to the whole world.


Human lives means nothing Nigerian Hospitals and there incompetent Doctors.


value for Humans lives are like mere laboratory tools to them.


St Martins Hospital Portharcourt must pay for taking my wife away from me, killing our baby and exterminating my generation.

Mom,What if I drown?

 Son, 4, asked mum 'what if I drown?' on way to swimming lesson before pool death



A heartbroken mum claims her scared four-year-old son asked "what if I drown?" on the way to his second ever swimming lesson, only for his awful premonition to come true. Dori Scott enrolled four-year-old Israel 'Izzy' Scott in a beginner's swim class in June this year after the tot showed a love of water on a family holiday.


The 35-year-old claims she picked an instructor after she advertised on Facebook claiming to have decades of experience.


When mum-of-three Dori turned up on the first day she claims she was told to leave Izzy and wait in the car, presuming it was to avoid distractions.


But on the second day as she sat in her car outside waiting for her son, she claims a tearful woman knocked on her window.


As Dori burst into the pool area, she claims little Izzy lay unconscious as an onlooker performed CPR.


It has not been established what had happened to him or how he came into trouble in the water.


The little boy was then rushed to hospital in Burke County, Georgia, before being transferred to Children's Hospital of Georgia, in Augusta, where he died in the early hours of June 15, 2022.


Now Dori is campaigning for new laws that dictate an adult-to-child ratio at swim lessons in her state - while urging parents to never leave their children alone at the baths, even with instructors.


Dori, from Augusta, in Georgia, US, said: "It was a mother's worst nightmare. It's unbelievable and shocking.


"We had just been on a vacation and that's when I scheduled his swim lessons.


"I was telling him 'you're going to be swimming' and he was so excited because he always wanted to swim. He always knew the danger of water but he loved it so much.


"[Before the second class] when I was getting him dressed, he said 'why am I putting that on?' I told him he had a swim lesson and he said 'I don't wanna go' but was in a happy mood.


"He asked 'but what if I drown' and I said 'you're not going to drown, silly' and he laughed it off."


Dori claims she left Izzy with the instructor before going to sit in her car and wait for the class to finish.


Dori said: "It happened on day two. I signed my son up for a week of swim lessons.


"[The instructor] told me the parents weren't allowed to stay because I guess the kids didn't act right [with parents there].


"I waited in my car and got a knock on my window [from a parent] saying 'come get your baby'.


"It wasn't time - they still had about six minutes left. I looked at her again and saw tears in her eyes.


"That's when I started screaming because I figured something was wrong.


"My whole life changed in a matter of moments."


Panicked Dori rushed in through the gate to find her unconscious son lay by the poolside receiving CPR and foaming at the mouth.


Dori said: "I cried and screamed all the way up there and when I got there, my son was on the side of the pool while they were administering CPR. He was unresponsive.


"I could tell by looking at him that he had been under the water for some time because he was foaming at the mouth and had no heartbeat.


"I asked the swimming instructor what happened and all she could tell me was she didn't know. She said 'I don't know. I told the kids to get out of the pool. I don't know'.


"I stood at the pool screaming 'let me hold my baby'. They wouldn't let me hold him of course because they were doing CPR and chest compressions.


"I have so many unanswered questions."


Little Izzy was then rushed to Burke Medical Center nearby before being driven to the Children's Hospital of Georgia, where medics got a heartbeat.


But after a CT scan, it was established Izzy was already brain dead and he sadly passed away soon after.


Dori said: "We were able to go back and see him when they were doing all these tests on him.


"They finally got a heartbeat but once they did a CT scan he was already brain dead. He'd been under [the water] too long.


"He passed in the early hours of June 15, 2022. I never received an apology."

DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE


Father allegedly beats his 2-month-old son with hanger in Imo for disturbing his sleep, breaks the baby's arm leading to amputation


The National Human Right Commission (NHRC) and the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists (NAWOJ), Imo State chapter have called on the Imo State Government and the Nigeria Police Force to immediately arrest and prosecute one Mr Confidence Amatobi, for allegedly assaulting his 2-month-old baby, Miracle.


Mr Amatobi was said to have assaulted little Miracle with a plastic hanger and broke the baby's arm for disturbing his sleep.


The incident led to the amputation of the fractured arm at the Pediatrics ward of the Federal Medical Centre, FMC Owerri.


NAWOJ, NHRC and the aggrieved mother of baby Miracle, made the call for justice in Owerri the Imo State Capital.


Imo State Chairperson of NAWOJ, Dr Dorothy Nnaji who spoke to newsmen after visiting the amputated boy at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri, confirmed that the injury inflicted by the 31-year-old father, a native of Amurie in Isu LGA of the state, led to the amputation of the little boy’s right hand.


Mrs Nnaji who frowned at the dastardly cruel act of Mr Amatobi expressed shock that a father could assault his innocent child simply because he was crying and disturbing his sleep.


She disclosed that Mr Amatobi was reported to have repeatedly hit the baby with a plastic hanger to stop him from crying until the right hand broke.


"The perpetrator, Mr. Confidence Amatobi, who hails from Amurie in Isu L.G.A  used a plastic hanger on the baby, simply because he was crying that the 20-year-old mother left to ease herself. He used wood and elastic bands to tie the baby's hand when he saw that hand was broken and swollen," Mrs Nnaji said.


"He locked the mother and baby to prevent  her from talking to neighbours or seeking help. He also took her phone from her. After two days she found her way out and sought help from her neighbours.  The guy  was arrested by a vigilante but he escaped.  By the time help came, the baby's hand was already decayed. The only option was to cut off baby Miracle's right hand from shoulder,"
