Original Toronto Star caption: While his Newbborn Son was getting a blood transfusion; Jehovah's Witness Giuseppe Sorbara read from the Bible to his son Gerry; 4; and daughter Cathy; 7; at their Hamilton home. Sorbara; who snatched the baby from hospital just as a court convened to award custody to the Children's Aid Society; said today: If he were in my hands; he would be safe. But now I know he?s going to die. Although baby has dangerous RH complication; Witness faith forbids transfusion.
