Together with the security guards, they confronted him. His excuse was that children were not allowed in the wards, but the head of the security countered his argument by saying he could have asked the security guards to look after the baby. Welman said he doubted this because visiting hours started only at 3pm.
It is unknown for what period of time the child was left in the vehicle.
