Moms Sue State Over ‘Creepy’ Baby Blood Database, Privacy Concerns
FoxNews | 11/15/23Hannah Lovaglio’s first son entered the world a month early. Nurses bustled in and out of the hospital room during his first days of life and frequently pricked his heel to check his blood, Lovaglio recalled.
“I just trusted and assumed that everyone had my best interest in mind and my child’s best interest in mind,” she said. “So I didn’t question much.”
Unbeknownst to the new mother, New Jersey secretly stores newborn “bloodspots” for up to 23 years and has in some cases turned samples over to police, open records inquiries found.
I guess these kids just weren’t born with Fourth Amendment rights.
These babies should commit a crime: then their juvenile records would be expunged or sealed after seven years.
Well criminals gotta come from somewhere.
See, this is why I only create non-creepy baby blood databases. It means you can’t use MySQL, but it’s worth learning another system.
Baby Blood Database would be a great name for a grunge band.
