A father says he feels "molested" after a nurse sealed his newborn son's lips with tape because he was crying too much. Ryan Noval and his partner Jasmine Badocdoc made the horrifying discovery after they visited their son at a nursery in a private hospital.
According to Mr Noval, his partner, Jasmine, was told their boy's mouth had been taped because of his constant crying. When Jasmine demanded the nurse remove the tape immediately she was reportedly told: "You can go ahead and take it yourself ma'am."
The incident occurred in Cebu City in the Philippines and an investigation has been launched into the nurse's conduct.
The father has since posted pictures of his son's sealed lips on Facebook, saying:
"I feel molested as a parent. Meet my son Yohannes Noval!! He cannot speak about his horrific experience from the attending nurse's hands…so we have to speak out for him. If you think your newborn babies are safe, think again. Your babies could be silent victims and you will never really know about it!!!"
