Douglas Kennedy, son of Robert F. Kennedy, was charged last week with harassment and child endangerment following an altercation with maternity-ward nurses caring for his newborn son, said the New York Daily News. Kennedy, 44, who works as a reporter for Fox News, allegedly kicked one nurse in the groin and twisted another’s wrist when they tried to prevent him from taking the 3-day-old infant out of the hospital. Kennedy claims he was merely taking the child “out for a walk” and defended himself and the baby when nurses tried to snatch the baby away from him. “Nobody should try to grab a baby from a parent’s arms,” said Kennedy in a statement.
