    Son of RFK facing charges after getting into fight with nurses at NY hospital's maternity ward

    NEW YORK, N.Y. - A son of Robert F. Kennedy is facing misdemeanour charges after fighting with nurses at a suburban New York hospital while trying to carry his newborn son out of the maternity ward.

    WNBC-TV (bit.ly/yygCj2 ) reported Friday that nurses at Northern Westchester Hospital say Douglas Kennedy wasn't allowed to take the baby from the ward.

    When they tried to stop him, they say, Kennedy argued with them while holding the baby and then became violent on Jan. 7.

    One nurse says Kennedy twisted her arm; another says he kicked her in the pelvis.

    Kennedy and his wife call the allegations "absurd."

    He was arraigned Thursday on child endangerment and other charges.

    Kennedy is a reporter for Fox News and the 10th child of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy.

      • Loislaine 3 mths ago
        He's a Kennedy. He's been protected. It's old news now.
      • Grandma Rosy 3 mths ago

        I don't know why Massachusetts can't do any better than the Kennedy clan, and John Kerry. Geeze
      • Bob 3 mths ago
        Maybe Riprap could move to Mass. It would be one less welfare check that NY has to dole out...

      Any idiot knows you can't just walk out with a newborn !! Again example of the rich NOT playing by the rules !! Hope they nail him and the nurses sue him !! PS I am a nurse and we do suffer abuse from idiots like him..
      • Roy 3 mths ago
        why can he not walk out with his newborn? It is his child, not the nurses!
      • kathy 3 mths ago
        Actually, the baby is the Mothers child until they leave the hospital. My babies had the same wrist tag as me and if they didn't match, then the baby wasn't going home with me.
      • brenda 3 mths ago
        Roy hospitals have rules it's for the safety of the babies.
    • ROBERT  •  Prescott, Arizona  •  3 mths ago
      See you peons. He is a Kennedy and Kennedy's are to be treated differently.
      • william 3 mths ago

    • Figl  •  Nashville, Tennessee  •  3 mths ago

    • Mike  •  Capitol Heights, Maryland  •  3 mths ago
      What a tragic and pathetic family
    • Just Sayin  •  3 mths ago
      He will be dismissed of any charges, but if a "real" person did something like that, they would have to stay in jail until the trial.
    • hookedonharley  •  3 mths ago
      Damm good thing there wasn't a pond nearby, he could've done an uncle teddy and thrown a couple of them in.
    • john w  •  Athens, Maine  •  3 mths ago
      the nurse's are very lucky he wasnt driving a car
    • Jeffrey H  •  Houston, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      Wait how did a democrat end up on Fox News??? Plus who is shocked that a Kennedy is in trouble right after another Joe Kennedy III made his intentions known that he was going to run for Barney Frank's open seat, let me rephase that last part, open Senate seat.
    • John  •  3 mths ago
      Rules don't apply when you're a Kennedy. And the nurse got a kick in the pelvis and has a bruised arm to prove it!
    • RafterRat  •  3 mths ago
      No surprise here - the Kennedys have always been quick to push women around.
    • Kenny  •  3 mths ago
      Kennedys have been doing what they wanted for years -- no boundaries if you are rich, and privileged. The god news is natural selection seems to be hard at work in the Kennedy clan!
    • Seymour Juggs  •  New York, New York  •  3 mths ago
      We Kennedys make the law, we are not subject to it!!!
    • rick  •  3 mths ago

    • gumbo  •  Shreveport, Louisiana  •  3 mths ago
