Frightening, sickening, and...so many other things wrong with this story...
A woman who has been in a coma for more than a decade gave birth recently while in an Arizona care facility and now authorities are seeking DNA from the male workers there.

The woman, who gave birth to a boy on December 29, is a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe and has long been in a vegetative state, the tribe's chairman said Tuesday. CNN is not reporting the woman's name because she is the victim of sexual abuse.

"When you have a loved one committed to palliative care, when they are most vulnerable and dependent upon others, you trust their caretakers," chairman Terry Rambler said.

Hacienda HealthCare in Phoenix said police detectives served a search warrant Tuesday seeking DNA from men who work there.

CNN affiliate KPHO/KTVK has reported the woman has been in a vegetative state for 14 years, quoting a source familiar with the situation. The woman has been a patient at this facility for at least a decade following a near-drowning incident, the Phoenix-based station quoted its source as saying.

"The family obviously is outraged, traumatized and in shock by the abuse and neglect of their daughter at Hacienda HealthCare," the family's attorney, John Micheaels said. "The family would like me to convey that the baby boy has been born into a loving family and will be well cared for."

Hacienda "will accept nothing less than a full accounting of this absolutely horrifying situation, an unprecedented case that has devastated everyone involved, from the victim and her family to Hacienda staff at every level of our organization," said Gary Orman, executive vice president of Hacienda HealthCare's board of directors.

Monster. How can anyone live with this? Even have the thoughts doing that. I hope they find the culprit and that the boy grows up without troubles and his mother wakes up soon.

That info she's Native American is new to me. Native Americans have it so terrible already, this is just a reminder of it.

There's no waking up from a vegetative state unfortunately. The kid will never know his mother, the mother will never know her son. It's an extra pile of sad on a mountain of tragedy.

Catching the perp should be easy. Honestly, there should have been an effort to have as little male caretakers as possible for a comatose woman.

How do they know it isn't a case like the Virgin Mary and Jesus?
