Hospital workers sacked for tormenting newborns
A pair of junior hospital staff members from the US have been fired after sharing a video on social media making a newborn dance to a rap song and referring to newborn babies as “mini satans”.
Both the video and photo were posted to Snapchat and were seen by a school friend of one of the staff members and then shared with Denisa Shellito who posted them to Facebook in the “hopes that these childish girls get reprimanded and lose their jobs.”
She shared the pictures she was supplied expressing her outrage over the situation and her post has now been shared over 320,000 times with many others also shocked.
The video above shows one of the hospital workers making a newborn baby dance to 50 Cent’s rap song In Da Club.
Another photo posted shows one of the staff members holding her middle finger up to a newborn captioned with “How I currently feel about these mini Satans (sic).”
“A girl I went to high school with is a navy nurse and this is how her and her s***ty friend treat the babies that have just been born. My blood is literally boiling and I want to snitch bc (sic) that is someone’s child,” Denisa quoted the person who shared the pictures with her.
The two women who work at Naval Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida were identified and have now been removed from their posts.

“We are aware of a video / photos posted online. It’s outrageous, unacceptable, incredibly unprofessional, and cannot be tolerated,” the Commanding Officer of the hospital said in a statement.
The statement also clarified that legal action will be taken against the two women and that the parents of the newborn babies had been made aware of the situation.
“We have identified those involved – two junior enlisted corpsmen (not nurses). They have been removed from providing patient care and they will be handled in the legal system and military justice. We’ve notified the patient’s parents,” the rest of the statement read.
