</div>By
her petition dated 11th January, 1999 the Complainant complained
against the hrespondent for abducting her baby son and telling her that it was
dead.<o:p></o:p>COMPLAINANT’S CASE<o:p></o:p>The
complainant alleges that in November 1995 she delivered a baby boy at Nyaho
clinic. According to her a nurse who took care of her insisted on giving her a
baby girl in exchange for her baby boy. When she refused the exchange the nurse
said to her RELE that her son had died. The complainant believed that her son
was still alive and wanted the Commission to assist her get her son back.<o:p></o:p>RESPONDENT'S COMMENTS<o:p></o:p>In
their comments to the petition the respondent attached a copy of the
complainant's medical report which said that the complainant was treated for a
spontaneous abortion which occurred at twenty weeks of gestation. According to
the report no live foetus was seen.<o:p></o:p>COMPLAINANT’S REACTION<o:p></o:p>The
complainant in her reaction to the respondent's comments insisted that she
believed that she had a baby and that she did not believe the respondent's
story.<o:p></o:p>The
Commission invited the complainant on several occasions to come for discussions
concerning her petition but she failed to honour any of the invitations. The
Commission was of the opinion that the complainant had lost interest in
pursuing her complaint.<o:p></o:p>In
the light of the above the Commission ceased investigation in accordance with
section 13(1)(b) of Act 456 1993 which states;<o:p></o:p>13(1)
“Where in the course of the investigation of any complaint it appears to the
Commission<o:p></o:p>(b) that having regard to all the
circumstances of the case, any further investigation is unnecessary, it may
refuse to investigate the matter further.<o:p></o:p>
