Re: Robert Kennedy's son charged after protecting newborn from vaccinations at hospital
why would anyone try to take a baby out of a hospital? He thought he was privileged and could get away with it.
 Quoting: Keats


snarl Yeah how dare some father pretend that he could walk around with his own baby? That baby belongs to the hospital, right?

I assume you've seen a nursery in a hospital. Imagine if all the fathers walked in and out at any time of the day and picked up their babies and left. If you have the need to go and get your baby from the hospital whenever it suits you, you should have your baby at home. No one is forcing you to go to a hospital.

Re: Robert Kennedy's son charged after protecting newborn from vaccinations at hospital
The average patient has what maybe a day and a half in the hospital after giving birth? Give birth, go to nursery..go back to parents for feed, back to nursey....discharge. All under the hospital's supervision. I can see why they'd be concerned if a parent suddenly wanted to take the infant outside for some fresh air...which by the way seems odd at 2 days old.

Seems like very irrational behavior. Somehow I think vaccines were the last thing on his mind.

Me too but don't know why a person would want to take their newborn out for some fresh air if you're being discharged from the hospital soon.

It's very strict. They give the mother a bracelet to wear as well as the newborn...I can't remember if the father got one but everytime they would bring my baby in to be fed, etc. they would check the bracelet on me and her as well. There is no walking around outside of your hospital room with the baby. Too many chances for a mistake to happen.

Yes the father gets a bracelet as well which is tagged with an ID number with the newborn so they can see that you're the parent. People don't realize that hospitals take this shyt serious. It isn't just a waiting room. Serious shit can happen to a newborn in the wrong hands. Not funny stuff.

In US hospitals newborns get the hepatitis B vaccine unless the parents request otherwise.
 Quoting: Instant Karma


the parent has to sign for ANY shot BEFORE it is given. If you refuse to sign, they don't give the shot. PERIOD. They simply recommend follow up with your pediatrician. The hospital is NOT out to get you or your child, and they would not have stopped the mother from leaving AMA. The problem was that the father tried to take the newborn, possibly without her permission, out of the hospital, and their security procedures prohibit that for GOOD reason - you know how many babies would be stolen (inc. by estranged fathers) if anyone but the mother could leave with the baby???

Maybe you haven't read that "severe misconduct" is now the norm in most hospitals. I've seen it all first hand. Medical mistakes are the #1 killer in the country. So back off with the "lying" stuff.

Re: Robert Kennedy's son charged after protecting newborn from vaccinations at hospital
When my kids were born a few short years ago i guarded them from the nurses. I sat in that window and watched them until the baby was brought back in our room. At one point two nurses ganged up on me about the vaccines. I used their names and made it clear to them that if they stuck a needle in my baby they'd personally encounter me on the street. Had no problem after that. We pushed for early release and got the fuck out the next day.

Afterwards i received letters from the county threatening me about vaccines. I called the person up about the letters and said if they sent me anymore garbage like that i would mount a highly publicized lawsuit against the state that would cost them millions. The letters stopped. Sometimes you just gotta be a gang star.

This kennedy thing looks very real. But i'm not convinced it isn't yet another damn ploy to scare people. This is one sick world we live in. Never leave the home without the chrome.

the thing is, when you go into the hospital, you sign papers saying they are responsible for you when you are there. That is why you can't walk out of hospital after being a patient, you go out in a wheelchair. You are THEIR responsibility until you hit that curb. If he had tripped outside (dropped the baby?) or done anything like that, the hospital could be sued. I agree with the other posters, they should have had the midwife at home.

Re: Robert Kennedy's son charged after protecting newborn from vaccinations at hospital
Why does everyone think it was strange that he wanted to take his baby for a walk? They have been in the hospital for 3 days. The Mother is the reason they are there that long because she was recovering.
Now he decides he wants to for for a walk and take his new born with him.
Here is where I'm trying to understand if what he did was illegal.
I have been through the whole hospital process with my kids and I know they have strict rules. Understandably, they don't want whats happened in the past to happen again where someone actually kidnaps a newborn out of the hospital or a baby gets switched. These are hospital rules and SOPs. This is not law as far as I know. So if he wanted to walk out of there with his own child then so be it! If he doesn't want to follow the rules don't let him back in.
He obviously handled the situation in the worst way. From the video it looked like he had no interest in resolving any confusion he was creating by walking out the door with a baby. I get that maybe the nurses thought "what if that's not his baby hes walking out with?" Still, what was the illegal act? Did the nurses have legal grounds to lay hands on him and the boy? If they didn't, then he had all the right in the world to defend himself.

He is absolutely right, I mentioned the Constitutional right to a trial be a jury of my peers and a judge told me point blank the Constitution is not in force in his courtroom, he can rule however he pleases, and not to mention it again or I would be held in contempt of court. If you go into a courtroom and there is a yellow fringe around the flag , the Constitution is not in force. Once the civil war was lost by the succeeding states, the Constituent was defeated by the federalists.

Like the OP, and MOST Americans, you don't realize once your IN a hospital UNDER a doctors care, or your wife/baby are, you have NO rights mto do anything unless THEY ( entire staff ! ) say you can !

Been there, had that lesson TWICE ! Staff is AFRAID TO ' violate ' the "doctor IS GOD ' issue, as they will lose their jobs!

Just say ANYTHING about not caring to live, I seem to have nothing to live for, etc. and your have to pay a shrink for several visits YOU NEVER asked for.

Nope and nope, more BS. You at anytime can refuse there care and walk the hell up out of there. They have no right to hold you UNLESS you have had the knife put to you.
Dont let anyone tell you diffrent.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1436120

As I remember the maternity area is secured. One reason is to prevent kidnappings. So no, by saying you're whoever, you do not get the right to override their security. That would nullify the security.

As I remember, you can't take the baby out until approved to leave the hospital, and you must bring a child seat and carry the baby out in that, to your car. Maybe a stroller would do as well. But they have rules like that, and they look like they'll enforce them.

No, they brought in a bunch of paperwork while I was in labor, nothing about shots. No one came up to me and explained my hours old child would be getting a shot and they needed me to sign / give consent. Its possible something about the vaccination was on 1 of the 8 paper I had to sign, perfect time to slip it in when a woman is in the discomfort of labor. Just because you personally would have done the right thing, dont count on all hospitals/nurses to be the same way.

Some hospitals push the vaccine as standard procedure. I bet a lot of mothers sign the form without even reading it.
 Quoting: Instant Karma


Yep, in my situation they brought the paperwork in while I was in active labor. I had to sign at least 8 pages, and she said nothing about vaccinating the unborn baby, next time I know, no matter what read every inch of paper because it was probly in there somewhere. We put to much trust in workers expecting them to look out for us, when we only need to look out for ourselves. I was reading yesterday on another forum a womans baby died due to a negative reaction to the hep vaccine while in the hospital, its crazy.

Re: Robert Kennedy's son charged after protecting newborn from vaccinations at hospital
So what vaccines do they do as a newly delivered baby? I think Hep B which I think is wrong. They should test the mother beforehand and if the baby is at risk, go ahead but otherwise, no. And a vitamin K shot maybe to clot the blood?? Maybe it's different now. Just askin
