Arkansas teens taunt toddler with a Taser in Snapchat video

Source: New York Daily News

Three teen baby-sitters heard laughing in the background of a Snapchat video that allegedly shows them terrorizing a 1-year-old with a Taser have all been arrested.

Elyssia Watkins brought her toddler to Conway Regional Medical Center after the troubling video surfaced online Monday. Her daughter was not injured, but she still reported the alleged abuse, sharing the clip with officer Brittani Little the same day.

The video “appeared to depict three female teens laughing hysterically while taunting the baby girl with a taser, which caused the child to scream and sob in uncontrollable fear,” according to a press release from the Conway Police Department. It “continued on, showing the teens joking and laughing when one of them forcefully struck the child in the head.”

All three of them were quickly arrested on the felony charge of endangering the welfare of a minor in the first-degree and were being held at the Faulkner County Juvenile Detention Center, authorities said.

they need jail time, no excuses accepted. Children and animals, I draw the line. And all races have their mean people and miscreants. Break the law go to jail. I do find these posts disturbing and raises my suspicions about, why they were posted. Any reason, specifically? I have this...

This world has ALWAYS been mean and AA are by no means free of this meanness. I wouldn't do something like this as a majority of human being wouldn't regardless of racial and cultural differences, who wants to "lump" me in with the people in both stories presented here? So please keep presenting and so shall I. I repeat these teenagers deserve jail time therapy.
