Sids death

My cousian found her baby this morning she was born april 25th. They are saying sids but the fam requested a autopsy. I have a question my aunt said BCI was going through everything taking blankets and bottles and wont let the parents be with their other 2 without her being there. Is this all normal? rutine stuff?

omgosh. Im not sure but that is so sad!

awwe I am so sorry. it probably is normal because they probably want to make sure the parents didnt kill the baby or something.

also said somthing about them having to go to the police station to do a video statement of what all happend when her last feeding was what time they put her down.??

Very sad. From the person I know who lost their baby they didn't have to do anything like that. Maybe just the state?

Truthfully, that all sounds perfectly normal. That have to rule out all possibilities before they can finally say it was SIDS just incase.

RIP poor baby  

I would say they are doing all that just to make sure the parents weren't involved in the childs death. They take things like that very serious. Same with the questioning. They are just getting every detail so that they know for sure it was SIDS, not the parents. I'm sorry for your family's loss though.

ok i though so to i was just checking. I wish i could be there with her right now. I couldnt imagine loosing my baby then have to answer all these questions.

Sounds normal, but it has to make it so much harder on them. I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry for their loss, and hopefully they will find peace some day.

I can't imagine how those parents are feeling right now..sorry for your families loss.  

That must be procedure from state to state. when my nephew passed in his sleep (in nys) they took pictures of the room, his pack and play he was sleeping in and a stuffed turtle. He was 7 months old. They didn't make any restrictions on anything. The state police took a statement from everyone who was their including myself. It must be their usual procedure, though I will say it is to me a little strict. :/ my sister took solace in her other child after her son passed. I couldn't imagine if they had separated her or her husband from their daughter.
So sorry for your loss. *hugs*

My sister passed away from SIDS at fifteen months old. I didn't think it was possible at that age, but that's what it was recorded as and she did pass away in her sleep.   The rest of us kids were never temporarily taken away at all...

I think that if there's no blatant reason indicating that the parents killed the infants, that it's overkill to take the other children away from the grieving parents as well. They're a family and should be together right now.

This exactly. They photographed the place and interviewed everyone who was there at the time, asking us very specific questions about exactly the last time she ate, and slept, etc. But Im incensed that your cousins other children were taken away after they just lost their baby. My mom took so much comfort in having us with her afterward.

That's terrible. I know a gentleman that lost his baby to SIDS at nine weeks old and him and his wife had to go through much the same. Unfortunately, there are many parents out there that would be capable of doing something terrible to their child and the police have an obligation to follow through. So sorry for their loss!

Since they cant test for SIDS they have to rule out everything before declaring that. My SO's cousin went through that when her baby died of SIDS.
