Teen babysitters accused of tormenting baby with Taser (News clip with actual video)
Three teen babysitters are accused of tormenting a baby girl in their care with a Taser in videos posted to Snapchat, according to reports.
Police in Conway, Arkansas, said the teen girls were arrested for child endangerment Monday in connection to the horrifying footage, news station KXXV reported.
In one clip, one of the babysitters reportedly pretended to prod the 1-year-old girl with a Taser as the child screamed.
Another video showed a teen slapping the baby in the back of the head. “She’s a bully but I’m dying,” the clip was captioned.
The baby’s mother, Elyssia Watkins, said she’s disturbed by the footage of her young daughter.
“I couldn’t even stay at work today,” Watkins said. “I just keep thinking about it. Why do they think it’s a laughing matter?”
The babysitters — whose ages range from 15 to 17 years old — appeared Tuesday in Faulkner County Court on child endangerment charges.
“They do need to go to jail, but I hope someone really talks to them and they get some counseling,” Watkins told KXXV.
