Teenager Jailed After Posting YouTube Vid Of Airborne Baby

Atlanta (GA) - A 16-year-old is behind bars today after he posted a stomach-churning YouTube video of a baby being launched in the air. The teen placed the eight-month-old baby on an inflatable pillow which he then jumped on. The baby flew several feet and was crying after hitting the ground.

Sheriff’s deputies arrested the teenager after his high school teenager saw the video. He is being charged with felony cruelty to a child, but could face more serious charges if the baby has any permanent damage. The teenager’s friend who filmed the act was not charged.

People have to stop watching these videos, and news companies need to stop publishing them...

That kid is obviously a couple of cans short of a six pack... but its a fair bet he is doing it for his 15 mins of fame..

We need to stop giving these idiots what they want.

I remember doing something similar on a jumping castle with my friend, but the kid wasnt an infant, she was about 8 and she wasnt hitting the ground, just landing on the soft jumping castle.. for someone to do that to a kid so young that cant even protect itself when it lands ON THE GROUND is just appalling.. what is wrong with some people...
