I can understand the justified alarm here since this is obviously a difficult situation but what were hospital folks going to do with 2 minor kids and a mom who has been admitted? Wish they'd thought to call the consulate but the same thing would have happened to a US citizen in the same scenario. Child protective services would appear and take responsibility for minor kids.
You can find example after example of stupid things that go on in every country on earth so you may want to travel the globe regardless. Try and go to Israel. Or, India or Mexico and see if you can land in one of those places with a guarantee nothing will go wrong. Not much chance of that. Anyway, sorry you're sour on the USA and we're totally fun here so that's a shame:)
