RCMP investigating two switched-at-birth cases in northern Manitoba
NORWAY HOUSE, Man. — The RCMP is investigating two cases of babies who were switched at birth at a northern Manitoba hospital more than 40 years ago.
The two cases involve four men, who went home with different parents from the Norway House hospital in 1975. They went public with the mix-ups in the past year after getting DNA tests.
The RCMP say its investigation will be separate from a review the federal government announced in August.
“The RCMP has an obligation to the families involved and to the public to determine if the incidents at the Norway House Indian Hospital were accidental or criminal in nature,” Mounties said in a news release Friday.
