Stories like this are the precise reason why I am so careful as to whom I allow to babysit my 3 year old. Since birth, the only people I have allowed watch my son are my mother, sister and a very close family friend. I have never understood how people can leave their children in the care of the teenager down the street or other random person or family.
I was absolutely horrified and sickened by this video. I really hope that this kid gets the maximum allowable punishment. As for the parents of the child I hope to god they now think before they leave their child with anyone else.
As a single parent, I know how frustrating it is not to have much time for myself and to not be able to just go out in the evenings like I used to before I had my son. But a parent's social life must definitely take a back seat to the welfare of their children, including making sure they are in the best hands possible when they are being babysat.

The person filming the incident was the child's brother.

A later article says

Quote:

The teen charged Monday, lives with his father inside the home along with nine month old Junior McMillan and his parents.

I don't think he is related to the baby.

Yeah, I did too. I had to go digging because I wanted to know if this was another case of a baby being mistreated by someone who wasn't related. I'm just absolutely stunned by the number of women who have so many random people around their really young children.

that is f*cking disgusting. i can't believe they would do that to a child and i'm wondering where were the adults??!! i guess the family watching the child was that of the guy that was taping it???!!! wtf!!!!!!!
i just can't believe it. it makes me sick. do you know i'd STILL be kicking my sons @$$ if he ever did that to a child. first of all, he wouldn't do some sh*t like that to begin with but if he did i'd beat the living sh*t out of him. that's so ridiculous and just straight cruel...... ugh.......
