So Robert Kennedy's son Douglas tried to take his newborn son out of the hospital for some "fresh air". This is strictly forbidden by hospital policy and all newborns have an ankle bracelet which sounds an alarm if someone tries to remove them from the ward.

When Douglas Kennedy's action triggered the alarm, two nurses tried to stop him. He shoved one and kicked another while trying to back out the door, with the baby in his arms, and it was all caught on surveillance tape. The local district attorney pressed criminal charges of endangering the welfare of a child and physical harassment of the nurses.

Not only was he acquitted of all charges, but the district attorney was chastised by the judge! He said that the nurses overreacted and that it was obvious he was just taking the baby out for a stroll and not trying to kidnap him.

This is a disgrace. It was against the rules, but I guess the Kennedy family doesn't have to follow rules! And for the judge to scold the nurses and the DA! I wonder how much he was paid off??
