Police in maternity ward raid
A FATHER cut his baby daughter's umbilical cord, kissed her and passed the infant to the mother - at gunpoint.
Seconds later, STAR Group officers burst through the bedside curtains and pointed a pistol over his loved ones and at his head.
The child was born five minutes before up to 10 heavily-armed STAR Group officers stormed the Women's and Children's Hospital delivery room at 7.05pm on December 10, the father, a violent convicted criminal, claims.
The baby was then taken by Families SA workers - which has prompted Independent MLC Ann Bressington to hit out at "rogue social workers on power trips".
The father was handcuffed, frog-marched to a car, driven home and ordered not to return to the hospital.
Families SA child welfare workers took the baby into care within an hour of its birth.
Why wasn't the mother allowed to keep the baby?
