Long Island Nurse Arrested for Slamming Newborn into Bassinet

A nurse at a Long Island hospital has been arrested for allegedly lifting a two-day-old newborn from his bassinet and slamming him face-down back into it. The nurse, identified as Amanda Burke, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor. The incident was filmed by the infant's father, who was outside the nursery. The nurse was fired hours later. Burke's attorney said that "this case should never have resulted in criminal charges."
