Maternity nurse Cari Luciano says she was stunned to be in scrap with Douglas Kennedy
New York Daily News ^ | February 25, 2012 | Daniel Beekman and Tina Moore

Douglas Kennedy and his wife Molly with their son Boru.

The petite, Brooklyn-born nurse who tussled with Robert F. Kennedy’s son in a hospital maternity ward was stunned that she fought with a member of Camelot, her husband said Saturday.

Steve Luciano, 57, said his 5-foot-tall wife, Cari, was just doing her job when she tried to stop Douglas Kennedy from leaving the hospital with his 2-day-old baby boy.

“Her comment to me that night was, ‘I was assaulted tonight and could you believe it, it was a Kennedy who did it?’” Luciano told the Daily News on Saturday in front of his Hopewell Junction home.

He said his wife and nurse Anna Lane were simply trying to stop Kennedy, 44, from leaving the Northern Westchester Hospital with the baby, Boru, on Jan. 7 against hospital rules.

Steve Luciano said Kennedy kicked his wife in the pelvis and twisted Lane’s arm. The scuffle was caught on security camera.

“My wife was assisting Anna to simply encourage Mr. Kennedy to place the child back into its bassinet,” Luciano said. “It appears on camera that they stumbled into the stairwell and then he veered back and kicked Cari and she went sprawling to the floor.”

Luciano said ... “I don’t think that anybody, even a Kennedy, should go around kicking hospital personnel and believe there are no ramifications,” he said, adding that a civil suit was a possibility.

Seems reasonable, but the first time I’ve seen it.

Think Brian Boru and the battle of Clantorf, 10th century.
Whence O’Brian.

Possibly at that time, Boru was just another first name, or parents’ first name. Think it was a bit early for last names.

Or, BO - like Barack Obama. I thought it was more narcissism from Obama when he named the dog with his initials.

Is this Kennedy a lefty and Obama lover?

Surely a hospital rule cannot be used to detain someone.

The rule is, don't allow someone to kidnap a baby. To ensure that this rule is not violated, people aren't allowed to pick up babies and just leave.

In any case, Kennedy reacted stupidly and with arrogance.

I trust you'd have been "Mr. Complicity" in such a circumstance. And that's where their power derives from.

Brian Boru was a High King in Ireland.

I guess the cops in Mt Kisco are stupid too by your estimation.

I think that, even this case notwithstanding, that would be a fair guess.

Did you even bother to read the article at the source?

No. I live a real life, and my "estimations" are based upon real experiences.

Kennedy kicked his wife in the pelvis

Sounds like there was much more going on there than mere hospital rules.

All social institutions are tools of the government.

Do the math.

You might want to frame this post.

I’m 100% with this father... He has a witness who works for the hospital that stated the nurse was the aggressor. She should feel blessed she was physically able to speak to her husband after the incident.

As much as I despise the Kennedy’s, whose kid is it anyways? Not allowed to take ones own child out of maternity ward? What law did he break?

“whose kid is it anyways?”

Maybe that was the question. Hospitals don’t like people taking babies out of hospitals until all the paperwork has been done. Something about kidnapping being bad.

High King Brian's *last* name was, after ancient Irich custom, Mac Cennedi, or "son of Cennedi (which would interestingly enough, be rendered today as "Kennedy"). The "Boru" in the name was actually an appelation which was given to him by the people at large for his ability to defeat his enemies and means "of the tributes"...

Clontarf was in 1014. According to Wikipedia, Brian Boru’s father’s name was Cennetig, which I assume is the medieval Gaelic form of “Kennedy.” The O’Briens take their name from Brian Boru.

BTW the name "kennedy" in Gaelic means "ugly headed". Delicious little irony there.
