Good Job by RGD office and the JCF, hope the justice system will work even more effectively in convicting the baby thief by giving her the maximum sentence. I hope the minister @Delroychuckjm will amend the law to reflect a much harsher sentence for stealing babies – @cambiemark
She good eh. She know say ano fi har pickney and bold so fi go register it? – @akimehno
I still cannot get over the gall of this lady to STEAL a baby and walk into RGD to get a birth certificate for a baby she did not give birth to. As a mother who came close to death giving birth I am FURIOUS. I hope she rots in prison – @MsGillyJ
Since the baby is found, will the cameras be installed? –@ LostBoyinJa
The plot thickens. Staying alert. Well done RGD and the JCF. –@ ConsumerJamaica

I want to take time out to salute the men and women at the RGD and the JCF I love news like this. – Michael Coleman
Now I can rejoice, it’s one of the most heartfelt stories I’ve read, am happy the baby is reunited with his parents, and thanks to RGD for their swift action. Now it’s time to interrogate the baby snatcher to find out how she made everyone at Jubilee went into “Bird Box” mood that morning she stole the baby. – Antoinette Ferguson Bloomfield
She trying to do di right ting LEAVE her alone. Some a unu was di same ones in agreement with ABORTION she didn’t kill di baby like some a unu. Some a unu didn’t even register and unu wasn’t stolen. SMH – Paul William
And ppl quick to point finger that the lady sell her pickney, all when no clear sign of such allegation ... smh ... God is good ... happy for the family ... – Kim Kay
Thank yuh jah jah. I’m elated and it’s not my child, I can just imagine how happy the parents are. All parties involved in stealing the people dem baby must be severely punished for all the heartache, pain and lost time they caused the parents of the child. That being said I’m glad baby and parents are reunited. I just know not even a fly cyah go near that child now. – @lilisa_lov3
Very very happy about this outcome. Good investigating and quick smarts on the RGD agent who sounded the alarm. – @ladydiwanders
I could be wrong also, but it seemed fishy, maybe she didn’t think the lady would actually register the baby. – @taylortclaudine
