NY Nurse Called in Alert When Kennedy Took Newborn A lawyer for a suburban New York maternity nurse says she called in a hospital alert for a newborn abduction when one of Robert F. Kennedy's sons tried to take his own son off the floor for a walk. A group of nurses says they saw Douglas Kennedy head for the door but they were not sure if he had permission to take the child. A lawyer for the nurses tells the New York Post (http://nyp.st/AfGmNY) that hospital guidelines say a newborn can't leave the ward without written permission. The nurses say Kennedy attacked them and injured them. Kennedy has been charged with harassment and child endangerment in the Jan. 7 altercation. Kennedy and his wife say in a statement that the charges are "absurd." He was arraigned Thursday. Information from: New York Post, http://www.nypost.com
