baby snatching
Stealing a newborn
Baby snatching is the abduction of an infant, typically from a hospital, home, or public place.
The term sometimes extends to custody disputes where one parent takes a child without legal right.
It can also describe older individuals dating much younger partners: He's practically baby snatching with that girlfriend.
