Burke was quickly told to leave the hospital and then fired within hours of the incident, the district attorney’s office said.
“The allegations against this defendant, who is someone entrusted with the care of our most vulnerable citizens, are truly disturbing,” Suffolk District Attorney Raymond Tierney said in a statement.after the outlet obtained footage of the attack.
“I didn’t know what to do with myself,” the baby’s grandmother told News 12. “I didn’t sleep for like three days. It was just really horrible.”Burke is charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor. After she turned herself in to Suffolk County police, Burke was issued a desk appearance ticket for a May 2 arraignment.
Burke’s lawyer, Robert C. Gottlieb, slammed the district attorney’s office in a statement to The Post and claimed she has cared for infant with “love and compassion.”“The Suffolk DA has grossly distorted the facts and should never have brought this case in criminal court,” Gottlieb said in an email. “The infant in this case is healthy and was never injured. Amanda is an exceptional nurse who has always cared for infants under her care with love and compassion and the evidence will prove that without any doubt.”
While the district attorney’s office said it notified the state’s Department of Education’s Office of Professional Discipline of the status and findings of the probe, Burke’s registered nurse license has not been suspended.Share this article:
