Im more interested in knowing exactly why he couldnt take his child in the first place.Hospitals now refuse to let you take your newborn unless you allow them to administer immunizations.Many peeople think these contribute to autism.Is that the possible reason?Kennedys have never been my favorite people but I want to know more before condeming him.

I’m not sure about the immunization thing. We have a 1 year old grandson and he wasn’t given immunizations before leaving the hospital.
I think overall it was very odd behavior. Who takes an infant for ‘fresh air’ at 2 days old in the winter? And to not hold the baby properly so you can attack someone? There’s a lot here I don’t understand.
44 Years old. This must be the kid born after the assassination. He’s probably really screwed up in the head
The hospital didn’t want to release us with our third child because we didn’t have an infant carrier carseat. We had a convertible carseat that was already strapped in the car. They said policy was that she had to be strapped into her carrier carseat and placed on my lap in the wheelchair to be wheeled out to the car.
I told them I wasn’t going to send my husband out to buy a carrier seat just so I could follow their policy and that I was leaving whether they discharged us or not. I carried my baby in my arms out to the car and put her in the carseat. It was ridiculous!
“This was all because the nonAmerican nurse(s) were incompetent.”
They used to import nurses from the Phillipines because they could hire them cheaper. Now they hire them from India because they speak better English than the previous imports.
Some hospitals do require the immunizations. Our current pediatrician is opposed to them, so her patients are given a pass. Sometimes the hospital tries to buck the physician. Our pediatrician was told by another parent that she (the other parent) obtained a copy of the hospital bill and that the hospital billed insurance for the hospital administering the immunizations even though they had not given them. Our pediatrician was spittin’ about that one and urged us to check our bill though it had been a year since our youngest was born.
They did escort me out when I got pale and face-planted the floor. But if you've ever watched that process... Sheesh. I'm feeling faint just thinking about it.

Been there. ping to my post 24.
We had a Filipino nurse for our oldest son’s birth. She named him. She was wonderful. She had been here for 20+ years by that time.
So Dr. Hayduke says he’s known the Kennedy over forty
years and the guy is 44 years old. Known him since
he was knee high to an oldsmobile.
Why would anybody want to take a 2 day old baby outside in January??? I don’ think Reporters and cameras are allowed on the maternity wards. PHOTO-OPs in the Lobby, good press????
Why would anybody want to take a 2 day old baby outside in January? Really? We took our 2 day old baby HOME from the hospital in January. She was born in January. At the time, that was policy. Two days in the hospital, and you’re outta there unless there’s something wrong. AND then they made us come back because she had jaundice. Do you know how many times we had to take her out? In January? I’m sure she was scarred for life!
I think it would have been more effective to tell hospital staff that “I’d like to take our baby home than I’d like to take him out for a breath of fresh air.”
When was the last time anyone heard of a father entering a maternity ward, removing a newborn from its bassinet....and attempting to take it out into the elements, shoving and pushing the medical personnel all the while.
The nurse's natural instinct was to reach out to protect that tiny infant against what to her was the unknown....weird and reckless behavior on the part of a man who for all she knew could have been drunk....or even in the throes of some kind of domestic fight or retaliation situation.
There's more going on here than meets the eye. Seeing that it involves a Kennedy, it can't be anything good.
Poor bebeh.

The assassination was in June of ‘68, so a child born after that would still be 43. Not that the reporter couldn’t have gotten the age wrong, of course.
He has not figured out that “smart” people of socialist institutions own his child yet. Uncle Teddy would be so proud...of the nurses.
The doctor is siding with him against the hospital staff. Lawyers galore.
How many drinks did he have before he went to the hospital?
Entitlement + Inebriation = Really Really Dumb S**t
It is February here in NY, did he even attempt to dress the child appropriately? Or did he just walk in in a typical drunken Kennedy stupor and do whatever he wanted?
For those of you defending his “right to his child”, if he’s shaking an infants neck and kicking nurses and falling down with a new born and then attempts to run away, he shouldn’t be taking that child anywhere, somethings wrong with him.
The Kennedys do suck, but how can anyone here believe that the hospital staff have the right to tell a father he can’t have his own baby? I would do more than just kick a nurse who tried to do that to me, and he/she would deserve it. For God’s sake, is everyone in this country ready to surrender themselves to their slave masters so easily?
I’m with you. It’s his child; the wife seemed agreeable with it as well. Did you see the part where it claimed that the baby’s head was violently shaken during all this? I find the story a bit incredible.
First it was the social security number that was mandatory in a hospital; now it’s immunizations. The nazification of the U.S.A. and health care system is almost complete.
