$5.6M Award After PA Midwife Posts Botched Birth Photo Of Baby s Jellybean Head On Instagram

$5.6 million. That’s what a Philadelphia jury gave to the parents of a gorgeous newborn girl who had a botched birth and was left with terrible brain damage. The midwife who delivered her shared the girl’s photo on Instagram with the following caption:

Camille Hoffman, the infant, is now six years old. She needs a feeding tube to stay alive, is almost blind, and requires assistance to walk.

According to the lawsuit filed in Philadelphia County Court, midwife Anne Pitts Londergan allegedly failed to notice two dangerous fetal positioning abnormalities—brow and occiput posterior presentation (OP)—that crushed the baby’s skull during contractions at Albert Einstein Medical Center, where Camille was born in July 2018.

The parents were even more astonished by what happened next.

Without consulting the parents, Londergan shared a picture of the newborn’s malformed skull on her own Instagram profile shortly after delivery, writing:

There were a lot of unsettling responses on the post:

She also revealed personal birth details, such as the fact that the remainder of her body sprang out the moment [the baby’s] head emerged halfway.

This was not approved.

Consent was not in writing.

No warning at all.

In 2020, the parents, Jason Hoffman and Alexandra Wolfson, filed a lawsuit. In September 2024, the trial ended in a mistrial. This summer, a retrial was conducted.

The jury found Londergan and Einstein guilty of medical negligence, invasion of privacy, and breach of confidentiality on Friday, June 27, 2025.

Jury Breakdown

They gave out:

• $4.1 million for injuries, pain, and suffering.
• $1.5 million for the unauthorized photo and privacy violations

According to the verdict sheet, doctors Daryl Stoner and Cheung Kim were found not guilty.

According to the family’s lawyer, Tom Bosworth, this was a historic decision guaranteeing patient privacy is always maintained. Hopefully, healthcare professionals would reconsider sharing patient images or information online.

According to Wolfson, her daughter’s trauma has never ended.

In order to spread awareness and aid in protecting other families, the family decided to publish the picture that began it all.
