LEESBURG, Ga. (AP) - A south Georgia teenager is charged with
child cruelty after an online video showed a young man launching a
baby several feet across a room.
The video posted on YouTube shows the teenage boy putting a baby
on one side of a large, inflatable pillow on the floor.
The boy then jumps on the pillow and the baby flies several feet
across the room before landing on the floor and crying. Sheriffs
say the teen's parents were supposed to be babysitting the child.
The 16-year-old Lee County boy was arrested Tuesday after a
school teacher saw the video and called the sheriff's office. The
boy's name was not released because of his age.
He's been charged with cruelty to children.
The video has since been removed from YouTube.

Another case of the blind leading the blind so to speak. Evidently parents that don’t know how to raise a child leaving their child to care for someone else’s child. The apple probably didn’t fall far from the tree! I’ll bet the baby learned more from this than either parent or the teen!
