B.C. woman accused of handling babies at hospital once convicted of animal cruelty

Background

A woman from British Columbia who was previously convicted of animal cruelty is now facing new allegations involving a hospital incident. In 2016, she received probation for violently kidnapping a family's Labrador retriever.

Recent Allegations

According to recent reports, the same woman has been charged with assault after allegedly entering a Surrey hospital and picking up infants without permission. Authorities say the incident prompted immediate intervention from hospital staff and local law enforcement.

Police confirmed they are investigating the matter and assessing the woman’s mental health history as part of the case.

The motive behind her actions remains unclear, and investigators continue to gather evidence related to the hospital incident.

Legal Context

Animal cruelty convictions in Canada can result in varying penalties, including restrictions on pet ownership. If convicted in this new case, the woman could face more serious consequences under both criminal and public safety statutes.


Author’s summary: A B.C. woman once convicted of abducting a Labrador now faces charges for allegedly handling infants at a Surrey hospital, raising new legal and safety concerns.
