LEESBURG, Ga. — 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.

According to the procecutor (I think)with whom Megyn Kelly spoke the creep will be charged in juvenile court. It seem to me a 16 year old is old enough to know right from wrong

Yes, via Fox News

This maniac will be in the news in a couple of years for much worser crimes.

[mylife]

WTF?

[mollynme]

What I thought was strange is that the kid recording this hasn't been charged because, supposedly, it isn't clear whether or not he/she knew what was going to happen.

Come on! Maybe the first time but it kept happening. Idiots!

[spectre]

So why wasn't the other teen who video taped the incident charged as well?

I agree, the guy said the teen didn’t realize the consequences hence a lighter sentence. Lame excuse. I would bounce the teens off of a roof if that was my baby. I couldn’t watch so didn’t get the whole story.

Thanks to You tube, these disturbing ignorant teens are trying to one up each other and it’s out of hand. What a world.

[Kaslin]

Fox and Friends showed it first this morning. It is disgusting

[gate2wire]

They’re not charging the kid who taped that?

Man, If that baby was related to me, there would be a couple assbeatings.

[krb]

Because he didn’t commit a crime, I guess.

[SouthDixie]

Anyone that would leave an 8 month old baby in the care of a 16 year old boy, needs their head examined.

[krb]

No, that repeating was looped. He launched the baby once on the video and they made it look like it was repeated.

[Kaslin]

What gets me is that the 16 year old will be charged in juvenile court. And like I said a sixteen year old is old enough to know right from wrong. He should be thrown in jail

[rrrod]

PUT THE TEENAGER’S PARENTS IN JAIL...SELL THE TEENAGERS TO THE RAGHEADS............

[Kaslin]

The parents of the kid who did the video were supposed to babysit the baby

[library user]

Save the male bashing for another thread. I was a good student in high school and wouldn’t harm a child; not now, not ever and not when I was 20, 18, 16... whatever age. Gender is irrelevant. There are good and bad people, period. There are plenty of 16-year-old girls who are cruel too.

[rawhide]

All AP stuff is banned from FR, did you not get the word?

[McKayopectate]

What a little jerk!

[Kaslin]

a 16 year old is old enough to know right from wrong

[4yearlurker]

What a wicked little jackass punk! This kid needs his a$$ kicked up between his ears!

[wideawake]

He will kill someone if a few years' time.

[Kaslin]

since when? That is news to me

[L98Fiero]

AP ist verboten!!

[Kaslin]

Besides if you click on the link it will show that the article is from the Associated Press

[seoul62]

How is the baby?/Just Asking - seoul62........

[Kaslin]

It doesn’t matter if he did it just one time. One time is to many

Check this article out Kaslin, it might shed some light on it.

I'm guessing JimRob may have decided to just ban AP instead of having to deal with their crapola.

AP is a bunch of America-hating/pro-Commie maggots anyway.

[Resolute Conservative]

I missed something, why exactly is that?

[Kaslin]

Who says?

[krb]

Read the OP. The OP was suggesting that because it appears to happen many times that the cameraman could be charged. Since it only happened once (on tape) evidence that the cameraman knew what would happen is not there.

Bull. I babysat a neighbor's child at a younger age than that -- a big responsibility and I knew it.

Don't kick the baby.

[mimaw]

A creep like this will kill someone someday or wrap himself around a tree. If that were my kid I’d shoot the SOB. I don’t think I’ve seen anything that made me this angry in a long time.
