According to the statement, the mother was reportedly caught on video pouring alcohol into a cap and tilting her baby’s head back before pouring it into their mouth. Another person, who is believed to be the child’s father, is seen in the background oblivious to what is going on. The woman, who is believed to be the baby’s mum, is seen in the video pouring the vodka into the bottle’s cap before pouring into the baby’s mouth.
Police officials said that both the man and the woman, who were not identified, were arrested. In the 14-second video, the mother can be seen pouring the vodka into the bottle’s cap before pouring the alcohol into the baby’s mouth as the man in the video, believed to be the dad, can be seen in the background. According to the statement, this incident occurred on 21 June. The 911 caller reported a disturbance and the officers responded to the parents’ residence. According to The Mirror, police officials released the following statement: “Upon attending, officers were made aware of concerns for a child at an address in the area.
Actions were taken to safeguard those involved and a man and a woman were arrested on suspicion of child cruelty later the same day. They have since been bailed and an investigation is ongoing.” The video was shared on social media and many people commented.
One Facebook user posted the incident online but the video kept getting taken down. During an interview with KO, the woman reportedly said: “It’s very sad. I posted about it on Facebook but it kept getting removed.
I have contacted social services who said the baby is safe, but they are still with their parents.” However, local authorities are aware of the video and the County Council confirmed the incident has been referred to social services. “I can confirm social services are aware of this and have taken appropriate action,” they said.
