Douglas Kennedy arrested for defending his infant child!!

[007]

Thing is, it wasn't an unknown, it was the father accompanied by a dr employed at the hospital.
where did he endanger the infant?
what act of harrasment did he commit?

[007]

Simple, being they were looking to protect the baby, all he needed to do was remain calm and rational, come back in and explain things to them with his doctor, "maybe" sign paperwork if that is what is requested, and be on his way for a walk about 5 minutes later. Belligerence and his attitude that he could do whatever he wanted, even though they have guidelines in the maternity wards, is what escalated this to a point that it need not have went to. If he didn't want their expertise, their guidelines and rules, and knew what was better for the baby than them, he shouldn't have went their to have the baby. Even though it's obviously his child, they are 100% responsible for that child's health and care until discharge.

They were protecting the baby, from what?

How did he endanger the child?
under which law?
if hospital policy dictates law, should I be arrested for drinking more than 3 beers in one day against drs advice?

Look it up if you're capable of reading, I'm not here for your amusement.

Possible health consequences, as they are liable until such time the baby is discharged. If that doesn't help you, maybe try rif.org.

A dr was accompanying them, a dr is a danger to a child?

Where did anyone state that? The doctor was not part of the maternity ward and they are the ones responsible for the babies health until discharge. I mean this respectfully - do you have issues reading and comprehending? You seem to have a severe disconnect from reading articles, posts and comprehending both. Either way, I'm not here to answer dumb questions over and over when the person asking obviously has issues understanding the answers.

lol, I see you've decided to beat your head against a brick wall for a while. I'm glad you took over, my head was getting sore.

Still no one has shown how he endangered his child. He was charged with child endangerment, what specific act caused that charge to be leveled?

[Trigg]

The article highlighted it was from Lane's.deposition. ignore that for the fifth time.

You never did find any evidence to support your claim they didn't know it was the father and they didn't know it was a doctor. Making claims you can't back up must make you very popular on here.

Not ignoring the quote. I am however pointing out that YOU moved the quotations marks.

Please feel free to quote my post where I claim that the nurse didn't know kennedy was the father or that they didn't know the doctor.


I'll wait.

still waiting

Leaving the hospital with a child without authorization to do so and without clearance. However much people want to think that since it's their child, that they can do as they please, doesn't make it correct. Staff tried to intervene. He fought or fought back rather than think of the child first, as staff was doing by trying to prevent him from leaving. Apparently the police felt there was enough for charges. And again, simply getting clearance and talking with the maternity ward first would have likely prevented all of this. Babies are generally in a room being overlooked and being protected, or a nurse brings them to Mom. A father is not supposed to take the baby from the room and go for a walk outside the maternity ward without clearance and the knowledge of the staff. If you can't understand that, tough shit, but I'm not answering any more stupid questions. I suggest you use google if you have more questions. This is a debate and discussion site, not Yahoo Answers.

Under pain of violent assault, arrest and charge?

When one resorts to assault? Yes.

The aggressive staff were not charged with anything, the dr who witnessed the whole incident said that the Nurses were the agressors.It is not child endangerment to take your child outside.
nor to run from 2 screeching crazies who are trying to snatch your child!

Oh well.

I can't believe he tried to commit grievous bodily harm by kicking her head off. And likely made terroristic threats to staff as well.
