Where are you, Hanicka?

Case in the medical documents
According to the post-partum [after birth-] report Ms. Stepanova was admitted on 12 march 1993 at 8 p.m. due to problems with fetal runoff water to the Polyclinic Hospital of Teplice. In the column "diseases related to pregnancy" referred to "statements" is marked twice "negative attitude towards hospitali- zation" right next to it.
The birth on March 20 at 3.15 a.m. during the eighth month (30 weeks) of pregnancy was according to the minutes "premature, spontaneous, medicationally".

Born was a baby of 36 cm that weights 1,25 kg. According to the ten-point-scale that judges babys in the first minutes of life, Hanicka had after the first minute 8 points and after 5 and 10 minutes 9 points each. Less points are in all cases listed for the color and after the first minute for the breathing, the other functions according to the records were correct. In these minutes Lenka Stěpanova saw her daughter for the first and last time.

Hanicka was brought to the department for prematured children and spent the next days in an incubator. According to the monitoring records of the newborn, which are updated every three hours, the girl showed during nine days stable breathing (Breathings between 40-50 per minute). The heart frequence rate varied in the first days between 136-160 per minute, and later values up to 207 pulses per minute are recorded. The crisis comes on the tenth day of the life of Hanicka - on 29.3 at noon respiration is mesured zero, the same the next day in the morning.

The following days the breath values are between 10 and 20. In the evening of 4 April followed two zeros one after the other after a night of 12 breaths per minute, followed the next morning again by two zeros. Zero on 7th and 8 April again. The last entry is from 10 April - on the twenty-first day after her birth Hanicka died at eleven o'clock. The medical report then refers to "severe non-mature organs" and asphyxia to be the cause of death.

Case in the eyes of the parents
Family Stepanova says that they have no more trust in the Teplice hospital for a long time. "With the second child I could have died, and my daughter, too," says Ms. Lenka. The third child was born in Usti nad Labem. On the recommendation of a private doctor Ms. Stepanova come for the fourth birth again to Teplice.
Ms. Lenka, unlike the medical documentation of the case, argues that the childbirth was provoked by doctors in the 30th week of pregnancy. A test of fetal water should have been done, which was not done. At the childbirth itself, there was no doctor, only nurses. "The childbirth happened at 2.30 a.m.", Lenka Stepanova points out another contradiction with the official data. Although the baby was given immediately into the incubator, it is written in the papers that this happened at 4 a.m. I also heard that the baby fell down after the  birht. Only the third nurse could grasp it. After the birth Ms. Lenka saw her daughter for the first and last time:"She was nice, although small, but nice."
According to the Stepanova family the girl had everything to live. "When Hanicka was born, her lungs was developed, she could take food and had for the entire 21 days rosy skin. In the meantime, they told me that they put her out of the incubator, but that the doctor apparently did not tell me that she had a cold. They told me that she was immature, etc. The doctor told me not to worry, that she was relatively fine. "Then, the whole thing turned into a comedy, apparently there never was a doctor but a female doctor", comments Ms. Lenka further course of the case and adds that for vyndani ??? the baby from the incubator should have taken place at the time inversions ???...

Stepan should plan for 11 April meeting with the doctor, when the day before by phone to learn that Hanicka already dead. Nevertheless, or precisely because, the doctor set out. "Open Pňsla sister, I was introduced and told to come regarding the daughter Hana. The nurse told me. , 0 what you doin '? He is dead! " I am opposed to it yet know, but I want to know why, etc., and also what to do next. And she answered me, they are not do not, go home, and in fourteen days, whether you pick up the death certificate. Doctor denied that it is somewhere at birth, "recalls Mr. Vratislav.
In dealing with the funeral visited V. Stepan together with his cousin Mary Francová, which is spolumajitelkou Teplice undertaker Marie, which post-mortem operations zaňzoval me. the hospital autopsy. Cousin there by virtue of their job have access apparatus and Mr Stephen purchased the autopsy photographs of children. Stephen, however, argues that the frame is not their daughter. According to them, this is a child at least nine, maybe even a live, sleeping ...
The entire case is complicated when Stepan processed documents related to the death. "Every Monday and Wednesday I went to the official registry for birth and death certificate, and there never has been. To 26 April, but the death certificate was issued with retroactive effect. Most of my home but then zarazilo the date of cremation, as stated on the 14th 4, when the funeral should Hana uz 6 4. The brother-in-law the day after tomorrow we are, 28 April, went to Usti, where the death certificate, according to cremation. There was written confirmation to us that until then was not introduced. Same us written confirmation of crematoria in the Most, "says the father of Mother to visit Usteckeho crematorium under investigation after daughter adds: Just so I said that you can imagine that, come home and they call that you have skill. And so - the DVO clock called to have the alleged cremation Hanička paint came right after our departure ... "
After these things the idea Stepanova that around Hanicka not everything is correct, changes in po-dezfeni. which seek to settle legal channels.

Case in minutes language
On 4 May 1993 Vratislav Stepan came to bring criminal prosecution notice for "strange circumstances during the death and the funeral" of his daughter Hanicka in Teplice. Right at the beginning allows for the possibility that the daughter lives. I second day at the District Offices roztači investigation roundabout questioning of stakeholders.
After the wound was heard spolumajitelka undertaker Marie, cousin of Mr Stephen Marie Francova. Mj. stated that the request bratrancovu girl in the hospital "adjust itself" and vyfotografovala. Pani Francová current administration admitted its mistake and the Institute for the evidence of the fate matriky Telicka after the funeral.
The same day as Marie Francova be heard and Teplicka matrikářka Dagmar Mařanova. They do fill in the erroneous data explained by cremation. that funerals do normal newborns and in accordance with normal practice, as indicated in the box states the following autopsy. Remedy matrikařka procured according to their words by telephone from the urgency undertaker.
In mid-May was still Vratislav Stepán convinced that Hanicka died as a result of negligent medical care. "They told us that the situation is serious but, despite our request to us and it never showed the child died before the visit. When asked why the dead, no one answered us, or we actually say when the daughter died, "uvedt father during questioning

18. May. With reference to the innominate person noted that. In the hospital about my child's not all right. "
Mortician Marie Jiri Franc note explaining the absence of any ohledacího crematorium in the 9th June. . The funeral and the last farewell to this child was on 16 4. 1993 to the cemetery here in Teplice, and then were stored in the fridge in the cemetery. And in order to crematorium nejezdilo separately with each corpse and used the vehicle for the transportation was used, since we have a vehicle at 4 coffin, "said Jiri Franc. Anyway - his testimony documenting how the Ministry of Health implemented. O of the deaths and pohřebnictví "under which funeral (cremation) must be held no later than 96 hours from death
The child therefore took Mr. Franc, along with four adult coffin to 21.4, but since it is "loaded as the last and indeed, moreover, forget to take ohledaci list. The night after the return was, as stated, the accident at the Ci-novci and had to leave the dead in Yugoslavia Ohledaci list added to crematorium when you return. am the way with other samples "28 4 On-site wait for cremation Hany Štěpánová and skill with the ashes took back to Teplice.
Pracovnice Ústecký krematona. Memory in memory "Zdenka Chramostová explain investigators 1 July, as it has not yet been Hanicka 27.4. cremation, which was issued a written confirmation and Štěpánovým who were 28.4. inquire about the fate of a subsidiary body. W Mrs Chramostová evidence suggests that body. which does not have a crematorium ohledaci list, it actually exists, though it would be in the building.. If you get ohledaci list, it is not possible to cremate the corpse. Just in this case I did not list any ohledaci why I or did not know that mine is mrtvolka child because kobkař not report to me, "said Z. Chramostová.
Wroclaw St. Stephen's grandfather Hany son who navrtil negotiate funeral in his nieces Mane Institute Francová, give the investigator on August 4. He stated the relevant facts of the date of the funeral Haniččina:. Before I came to the child even look, which I was allowed to self and Hanička I saw. It is true that I have ever seen. With regard to the son and his wife, so they arrived at the funeral and even after me and already before the funeral of my son, he said Hanička did not want to see that you want to keep in memory. how to have a picture, which they purchased in Hearses Constitution, therefore nobody neodmítal them to look at her. "senior Mr. Stepan added that. I was with her son after this fight, and since then do not."
Father Lenky Štěpánová, Adolf Schuldes. against investigators 7th September said: It is true that at this funeral, I wanted to see Hanička, it also wanted to see my daughter with her husband, but Mr Stephen (father-in-law daughter) told us. that this is not possible, but that he saw it. "
Mr. Schuldes had doubts as to whether the coffin was the actual body granddaughter. "During the ceremony itself, when rakvička zajížděla a hinge, so that the halt and the pootočila. This was my zarazilo because dite including rakvičky had still something to appreciate, "noted.

How to steal children?
By way of law enforcement with their suspicion Stepan failed-investigator eventually managed stopped. Parents Hanička but still in its constant efforts and recently tried to investigate the case with the assistance of the President of the Association for the protection of patients Stanislava Hambálka.
What, however, should become the Hanička in reality? As under Stěpanovych child trafficking look like?
Their original pcdezřeni directed towards, inter alia, spolupacientce, which was common in the hospital with Mrs. Stephanas and the child apparently received an infection from the fetal waters and receiving blood. "Then I dočetla that received blood and Hanicka, but why, when I still claimed, as is everything okay?" Suspicion Štěpánových of possible confusion umocňovalo that the patient's father was the alleged "saniťakem" in hospital.
Today, rather favors the vanantě pre-action of some doctors and other persons to which they are involved as well as funeral services worker, maybe even crematoria. "I find it so that it had prepared in advance and, therefore, was furnished to or seen Hanička Moreover thought that if I already have children tn, so that you ozelím." argues Ms Lenka. Deaths in the pelvic parts of northern Bohemia is Moreover, with regard to the environment and the resulting higher mortality rate of children under Štěpánových less obvious.
Why but to be selected by their child and not be deferred child prostitutes on E 55th to which the public authorities do not know advice? Would not it be less risky? "Because we are. Net 'family, we have healthy children, it could be established. Better to do with the child from the incubator, because the mother has with her and she can take him, and declare that they have died. "Refers to Mrs Lenka. In practice, according to the terms Stěpanovych be done so that the child in the car passed under oxygen and it is already prepared a mobile incubator.
Stěpanovas hypothesis that the trade in children, and apparently similar to trade in human organs, exists in the Czech Republic, confirmed, as shown, and two random witnesses. "When I have done in the bakery, I was talking with one Ukrainians about what happened to us. And he told me that when I combined a million marks, so I have triplets is incubator, "says Vratislav. His wife recalls another meeting:" After about a year půldruhém I stopped on the street one Lord of Ústi and says:. Is Ms , you have children. How many are you? " Four, I say, and he asked where I got to the fourth. So I said to him, and he says it is unfortunate, because the communists had to steal twins from the incubator and is not due to meet with his mother in Germany. And he added, that my girl is a well in Germany, that is. normal. "
Štép.wovi claims that have also calculated vécf doctor who is willing to come to testify when the case comes to court, and confirmed to them that such a trade exists. "Where, therefore, according to you, Hanicka now," I asked the mother. "I think it is abroad."
Hospital rejects allegations
Director teplické hospital Dr. Weber identifies suspicions of Stěpanova as "absurd". On the possibility of confusion for children in hospital or at another hospital department responded categoricly: "Impossible."
"As part of our hospital to not totally account," answered my question, Mr. Director of the alleged trafficking in children as you are the boss Teplice Hospital, by the way their own expertise gynekotog-obstetrician, explained that Stepan insist on their allegations more than two years after his own case? "Only that got some deliberate or unintended information which one grandson -
zeros, and they believe them. I have twenty years, the median and vylučujú that should this happen, it could be the birth of a child to sell or exchange", says Dr. Weber.
How it's actually a death nedonošenců, we asked the Dr. Webra as an expert, as well as childbirth is no longer categorizes each birth of a child who manifests signs of life. Birth is already born 600gramového child. Understandable for such children is higher than the mortality in normal children. where it is rare to none. Is more frequent in premature births or children nevyzrálým apparatus, but even in these cases it is not too widespread. Medicine can now order of things. "In the case of small Hanička was understandable on the immature child, the director adds.
It is normal when the child dies the mother, who already has three healthy children''. General can declare that there is never ruled out that the birth mother of three healthy children, that the fourth can not be disabled in some way. This is not excluded", thinks Dr. Weber.

The case of small Hanička Štěpánová one of the most nejsmutnéjšim with which we can see. It is there only a manifestation of desperation and sadness of parents affected by such cruel things, like the death of a child? Or come in the global phenomenon called child trafficking at a number of our Republic?

Photos taken at the pathology for babies at Teplice hospital. According to her parents, however, it is doubtful that Hanicka is on the photo. The baby on the photo is much older, and maybe even a living baby.
