I called the police to report another parent tonight

[KBecks]

and I can't get this out of my mind...

I saw a facebook video of an 18 month old with two women, the mom and I guess a friend, who were giving the baby shots of vodka... five in total. It came through my feed through someone I am friends with.

So I called CPS who referred me to the police department to investigate the FB stuff.

It's already done but I am still thinking about it.

How disturbing! I am sorry you had to see that. Even if it was a prank/joke, you did the right thing, mama. :hug:

[nrp]

Good for you for reporting it - how awful! Did your friend who posted it think it was funny?

[daisymommy]

I am just sick thinking about that. I pray it was only water, and a sick joke :(

[Reyadawnbringer]

WTF??? 5 shots of vodka is enough to get me wasted, that baby has to be suffering from alcohol poisoning! You absolutely did the right thing.

[KBecks]

It was a stranger I don't know who posted the video, and then someone I know commented on her video to the effect of -- hey, this is not good -- and then she wrote back something like yeah, 5 shots and that's how we get him to sleep or something like that.

I cannot tell if it is a prank. I don't know what will happen in this situation.

I hope that was a joke. A baby couldn't handle 5 shots. But then, you still have a parent who thinks that's funny enough to post and joke about. :angry-smiley-005:

A 15 month old would be hospitalized after 5 shots of vodka - gotta be a joke. Yuck.

[KBecks]

In the video they don't look like full shots..... it is totally creepy.

I hope it was a joke. Either way, you did the right thing!

[3blackcats]

Wow, you totally did the right thing. I didn't even see the video and it is making me feel sick to my stomach. Let's hope it is not real.

[TwinFoxes]

I hope it was a joke. Either way, you did the right thing!

I'm sorry you saw it, but glad someone responsible did. :hug:

[MamaMolly]

You totally did the right thing, joke or not. That is just *not* funny.

[happymom]

But then, you still have a parent who thinks that's funny enough to post and joke about. :angry-smiley-005:

:yeahthat: Good for you for calling! Hope that baby is ok.

[lmwbasye]

5 shots? I don't care if it's one shot!!! I actually don't care if they were just "playing". This is not right and you did the exactly right thing.

[bubbaray]

That is seriously messed up. Even if it is a joke.

That is seriously messed up. Even if it is a joke.

:yeahthat: 5 shots is probably enough to kill a baby. And, that is really messed up even if it is a joke. So, sad!

I bet it is a joke, I doubt if it werent that they would make comments afterward about how they put the baby to bed. Doesnt make it right, but my goodness I really hope it was. I know some people have cup trained their kids using 2oz shot glasses, maybe it was something like that getting the baby to take a drink and then things got out of hand. :/
Anyways, you did the right thing.

[citymama]

You did the right thing reporting it.

Now, go crank up your privacy settings so NO ONE can see you on FB. I would hate for them to track you down somehow. Don't want to freak you out, but it's what I'd do.

:yeahthat: And it is not your responsibility to know if they were "only joking" or not. Better left to the authorities IMO. Hope the baby is ok. Way to go, Mama!

[Penny's Pappa]

Really, how much of an utter imbecile would you have to be to post something like that on your FB account, joke or no? Just when I thought people couldn't be any more stupid!

Good for you for calling CPS!

I am just sick thinking about that. I pray it was only water, and a sick joke :(

:yeahthat:
WOW!
