Other sources confirmed the news.
“It was Mom and Dad, and one brother and the significance of that is they didn’t see she was pregnant,” the source said.
Staff members previously said they also had no clue that the woman was pregnant until the baby started coming out on Dec. 29, 2018.
“The family is well aware of the intense news and public interest in their daughter’s case, but at this time is not emotionally ready to make a public statement. The family would like me to convey that the baby boy has been born into a loving family and will be well cared for.”
The female source also revealed that the woman in a vegetative state was checked on every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, and was not supposed to be in her room alone when housekeepers changed her sheets.
The victim’s specific care was also revealed for the first time.
“She required tube feeding, couldn’t eat or swallow, she had respiratory care, bathing,” said the source.
‘ The source criticized the fact that the facility didn’t have cameras, which would have provided police officers with a quick way to search for who raped the vegetative woman. “We’ve talked about it. We’ve requested it. Some parents requested it. I’m not sure why it didn’t happen,” she said.
The San Carlos Apache Tribe, located in southeastern Arizona, confirmed last week that the woman is a member of the tribe.
The woman also suffers from quadriplegia, a seizure disorder, and recurrent pneumonia, according to court documents.
Birth Takes Staff by Surprise
The birth at Hacienda de Los Angeles, a Hacienda HealthCare facility in Phoenix, took staff members by surprise.The nurse later said, “One of our patients just had a baby, and we had no idea she was pregnant.”
The nurse, answering a question from the dispatcher, said she didn’t know how far along the mother was in the pregnancy.
The source also said that Hacienda does not have cameras inside the hallways or rooms of the facility: the rape or sexual assault that happened was not recorded.
“We are aware of this situation and are actively working with local law enforcement in their criminal investigation,” the department said in a statement.
The organization cares for more than 2,500 across all of its facilities.
According to federal records, the healthcare facility where the woman gave birth has at least 74 patient beds. Like the Native American woman, some patients have been there for 10 years or longer, even decades.
