QUOTE:
The man saw two young children holding their hands in the air for more than an hour. He then put a tape in and began recording as a woman entered the room and hit one of the children in the chest.
Later, the woman was filmed returning to the room and hitting the other girl with a stick.
The man called police, who then went door-to-door until they found the woman. She turned out to be a foster mother.
Police took the children, ages 2 and 4, into protective custody and have launched an investigation.
A third foster child, not on the tape, was also taken into protective custody along with the woman's three biological kids.

Everytime I hear a story like that I think of a song I heard many years ago. Give it a listen if you can.

Perhaps you youtubers saw this child abuse video on your favorite news source, youtube.
LEESBURG, Ga. -- A 16-year-old Lee County, Ga. boy remains in jail following the release of a video on YouTube that showed a flying baby.
A psychologist interviewed by NBC station WALB questioned the motives of the teen, saying his behavior was a quest for attention, and that YouTube gives teens the perfect opportunity for those seeking their 15 minutes of fame.
The teen's message on the video's YouTube page, according to the psychologist, supported that. The message said, "I know this is messed up, but the baby is okay."
The 8-month-old baby was shown flying through the air after the teen used a large inflatable pillow to launch the infant. The baby landed several feet away from the pillow, and could be heard crying in the video.
The baby was left in care of the family of the teen who shot the video. The local sheriff's office had received a call from a teacher who recognized the teen after being shown the video by another student.
Officials charged the teen, who was not identified due to his age, with cruelty to children.
The video has been removed from YouTube. The Lee County Sheriff's Office said they were waiting to hear from the baby's parents to see if the child was hurt in the incident.
I have been watching AFV (America's Funniest Videos) for years. Saw stunts similar to this many times, usually involving adults or bigger children and swimming pools. Not hard to figure out where this teen genius got the idea.
