This horrendous story is out of Algeria, North Africa, where it was reported that the man has since been sentenced to jail for the terrible crime.
Several people who saw the picture on Facebook immediately contacted the police. As it turns out the baby was not in fact his, but his cousin’s.
While shaky and understandably terrified, the baby was thankfully otherwise unharmed during the incident.
The man has now been convicted of two years imprisonment for putting the baby’s life in danger. He did claim that the image was fake and the baby never was in danger, but the court rejected his defence.
What has the world gotten to? I was utterly shocked and disgusted when I came across this story. Please share this story as an important reminder to everyone to never, ever let social media get the better of us!
