A Michigan neonatal intensive care unit nurse has been charged with child abuse after a baby girl in his care sustained multiple broken bones and significant bruising. Kieran Ansley, 43, was also reportedly fired from Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids following the allegations of abuse that occurred during an overnight shift in April.
According to MLive.com, the investigation began after the infant’s mother arrived at the hospital on the morning of April 3 and noticed injuries on her daughter. The baby, who was born at 23 weeks, had been in the NICU since her birth in November 2025. Grandfather Robert Steavens told WOOD, “She was born at 23 weeks: 1 pound, 1 ounce. And she made it through her due date, ready to go home. And then two days before she was ready to go home, this happened.”
