April Saul, 42, and Daniel Rivera, 43, took their daughter out of Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown against a doctor's orders, according to court papers. Authorities said they also used obscene language when confronted by medical staff. The couple's daughter was born prematurely in July and remained in the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit until Oct. 23, when her parents disconnected her from equipment that monitored breathing, temperature and heartbeat and declared their intent to take her to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, according to court documents. Prosecutors said the child was still too ill to leave the hospital. "When questioned by medical personnel, Saul and Rivera yelled loudly and used obscene language in the common area of the NICU. Nursing staff repeatedly asked the parents not to remove the baby from the unit because the baby's health could be endangered," a police affidavit said.
