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 think we can all go along with that.
If the baby is leaving with just the father and discharge papers haven’t been signed, for all the hospital knows this could be a disgruntled father who’s having marital problems and a lawyer just waiting to sue on the mother’s part.
I’m sure the nurses are following the hospital’s policy, which is in place for their protection against lawsuits. What if Mr. Kennedy left the hospital with the infant without a medical escort and then dropped the infant, causing serious injury or even death. Who do you think would get blame?
Also, there are many unanswered questions in the story. Was Kennedy acting irrational or under the influence of something, which alarmed the nurses? Was the child in the hospital for tests or extra medical treatment, since most hospitals let the mother and infant go home the next day after giving birth? Where was his wife while this was taking place?
Just my opinion: I always thought he was a dull reporter on Fox-—wooden and monotone, hired for his name and not his talent. Hello, Chelsea Clinton.
