More details about the alleged actions of the Virginia neonatal nurse accused of breaking baby bones

According to Carter, seven children suffered broken bones at Henrico Doctors Hospital over the course of a year. This pattern reportedly began to be observed in 2023. At that time, Dominic Haackea father of twin boys in hospital, came forward after noticing one of his children had an “unexplainable broken leg.”

Per Haki, a week after giving birth to his twins, his wife was allegedly told she could not carry their twin son, Noah. Despite these instructions, Haki and his wife did not notice anything strange. Ultimately, the couple assumed the hospital’s instructions were because their twins had been born prematurely.

The couple were then informed that an X-ray had been performed on Noah. Results determined he suffered a broken leg.
