Medical Conditions: Sutton was recuperating from minor surgery to treat an abcess at the time of his March 1993 abduction. He required continuing medical care to treat his condition. Details of Disappearance Sutton was admitted as a patient in the Hughes Spalding pediatric unit of Grady Memorial Hospital on Butler Street in Atlanta, Georgia on March 6, 1993. He underwent minor surgery over the weekend and was recuperating in a semiprivate room in the ward during the early morning hours of March 9. Sutton was in the custody of the Department Of Family and Chidren Services at the time. He was last seen when a nurse checked on him at 6:45 a.m. When his room was checked again fifteen minutes later, he was gone. Sutton's mother was being treated for schizophrenia in a mental institution at the time of his abduction; neither she nor other relatives were considered suspects in his disappearance.

Stolen from the Hospital Room The two photos on the left are “composites”. One is a composite of what the child might have looked like at age 4 years, the other what he might look like now at age 12 years. I am not sure how composite photographs are created. I suppose in this case the artist would have to go by characteristics seen in photographs of each of the parents and then go from there. I think this artist has done a great job.Tavish Sutton. That is the name of the person these composite photos are supposed to represent. I have not read much about this case but I am intrigued by the sheer audacity that someone had to steal this child out of the hospital room. Tavish Sutton was born on February 10, 1993. He was abducted from his hospital room on the morning of Tuesday, March 9, 1993 by an unknown person. From www.charleyproject.org: “Sutton was admitted as a patient in the Hughes Spalding pediatric unit of Grady Memorial Hospital on Butler Street in Atlanta, Georgia on March 6, 1993. He underwent minor surgery over the weekend and was recuperating in a semiprivate room in the ward during the early morning hours of March 9. Sutton was in the custody of the Department Of Family and Chidren Services at the time. He was last seen when a nurse checked on him at 6:45 a.m. When his room was checked again fifteen minutes later, he was gone. Sutton’s mother was being treated for schizophrenia in a mental institution at the time of his abduction; neither she nor other relatives were considered suspects in his disappearance. The Georgia Department Of Family and Children Services has terminated her parental rights to Sutton’s three siblings and was seeking to terminate her rights to Sutton as well when he disappeared. She sued the hospital over her son’s kidnapping in March 1995; the suit was settled out of court for $600,000. Authorities stated that a woman who was pretending to be pregnant may have abducted Sutton in an attempt to raise a child. No evidence supporting any theory has been recovered and Sutton’s case remains unsolved.” I hate the thought that this mother lost custody of her child because of a mental illness only to have some stranger kidnap the child. I am glad she was able to successfully sue the hospital. I am sure she would have rather had her child than the money.CPS should have helped this mother, offered her services to enable her to keep and raise her children. In my opinon the foster care system is just a money-hungry machine that cares little for the children placed in their “safe-keeping”. If the person who stole a baby boy from a hospital room on Tuesday, March 9, 1993 comes across this entry, please turn the child over to the Atlanta Police. Give them a call (Atlanta Police Department (Georgia) – Missing Persons Unit – 1-404-853-4235) and let them pick up the child. The child is not yours to keep. He has family that he needs to be around. A possible scenario for you to consider: The son you stole gets sick one day and he has to go to the hospital. It is found out through tests that he has some form of a rare genetic disease that requires a biological assist from you, his biological mother. (organ music begins playing here…tense organ music) You are at the turning point. You don’t want this child to die and you can’t give him what he needs to live because you don’t have it. His MOTHER has it and you stole him away from her 12 years ago. Oh what to do… Sounds like a soap opera…stranger things have happened in real life… Like a woman entering a child’s room in a hospital and stealing a newborn baby and passing it off as her own… Yes, sometimes art does imitate life or is it life imitating art? Give the child back. http://missingandmurderedchildren.facesoft...l-room/#more-17 Age-progressed to 14 Years old. (2007) |
