One new mother, Rozz Nash-Coulon, told The Associated Press that her twins,
born on Dec 28, were in the neonatal unit and, starting on Friday, intense
security measures made it a struggle to see them as guards directed hallway
traffic.
“Once they checked in there was high security everywhere,” she said
on Monday. “It looked like the president was on our floor. The
hospital’s security cameras were taped over. Internal windows from the
hallways into the ward were blacked out.”
The hospital’s executive director was heading up its own inquiry into the
complaints, hospital spokeswoman Barbara Osborn said. The hospital was
interviewing parents who had children in the newborn wing when Jay-Z and
Beyoncé were there, she said.
“We have spoken to seven out of the 10,” she said. “None have
reported being stopped from seeing their babies.”
She confirmed that security cameras were briefly taped over when the Carter
family was being moved, “but only when a security guard was present”
on the fourth floor, where the neonatal unit is located. She declined to say
why they were taped over.
She said that other parents at the unit did notice “enhanced security.”
But she said none felt restricted from accessing the unit or any other at
the hospital.
Jay-Z confirmed the birth of the couple’s daughter in a song released on his
social website Life and Times on Monday.
