Nurse Amanda Burke surrendered herself to the Suffolk County Police Department on Wednesday morning.
A registered nurse formerly employed 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.
Burke was an employee of Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York when the incident occurred on Feb. 6, 2023. The incident was filmed by the infant's father, who was outside the nursery, Tierney said. The parents notified nursing staff, and Burke was directed to leave the hospital. She was fired hours later.
Burke's attorney, Robert C. Gottlieb, told CBS News in an emailed statement that"this case should never have resulted in criminal charges."
