The Naval Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, is reeling after images and video leaked out on social media of medical staffers mishandling hours-old infants. A video posted (which you can see below), has a staffer holding up the infant and dancing the child around to the 50 Cent song “In Da Club,” the way some people dance around their cats. One of the images, with a woman sticking her middle finger at the wrapped up and sleeping infant, is captioned:
How I currently feel about these mini Satans
Whether or not this is dangerous, unprofessional, and inappropriate behavior on the part of the nursing staff is not a question. The question is why exactly are they doing this? Was is racially motivated? Was it a frustration with their job of handling infants? Either way, these people should be fired and charged with child endangerment. The Naval Hospital Jacksonville posted this to their Facebook page.
