 LEESBURG, Ga. —  A Georgia teen is facing child cruelty charges after an online video showed a young man launching a baby several feet across a room using an inflatable pillow.

The video posted on YouTube shows the boy putting a baby on one side of a large yellow pillow and then jumping on the pillow, sending the child flying several feet across the floor, where the baby lands and cries.

"He really had no explanation — just thought it would be funny to put it on YouTube," Col. Duane Sepp of the Lee County Sheriff's Office told FOX News. "It's all about, I guess, that five seconds of glory or whatever, and it's terrible it has to happen at the cost of an 8-month-old 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.

 

Has anyone else seen this video?  When I first saw this video, I thought I was going to throw up.  It appears that the baby flips and then hits the floor hard.  You can hear the infant screaming after he lands.  I can not believe the complete disregard for the safety of an 8 month old infant.

What do you think about it and what should be his punishment?
