Code Pink is an emergency condition in which an infant is being abducted or has been abducted. (“Abducted” means that the infant is being taken illegally from the lawful parent or legal custodian.) Any staff member having knowledge or information that reasonably indicates that an infant is being abducted should call a Code Pink. Even if there is a suspicion that an infant is being abducted, a Code Pink should be called. A Code Pink is called by dialing the STAT Line at extension 6555, and stating “Code Pink” and “location.” Once called, all staff should be alert and observant for suspicious individuals or behavior, and Security (extension 6565) should be immediately notified about any such persons or activities. Training BWH employees in infant security measures and Code Pink procedures is an important and ongoing process, and features frequent drills. Please contact the Security & Parking Department at extension 6001 if you have any questions regarding infant security or Code Pink.
