Nga, 36, said a nurse came to her room to take Bac for a bath at 7.30 a.m. on Sunday, but at first she refused the offer, saying that he had a bath the day before.

A man waiting outside then urged her to let the child be taken for a bath, so Nga’s mother carried him to the bathroom, according to the woman.

However, on her way to the bathroom, another nurse told Nga’s mother that she would take him to the bathroom and return him to the room later.

“But I waited forever and no one came back with the baby,” Nga said.

The hospital then informed police, and at around 3 p.m. a patient found a travel bag with Bac inside it in an elevator.

According to police, Bac’s health was still good.
