An Algerian man has been sentenced to two years in jail after he dangled a baby from the 15th floor of a highrise building in order to get likes on Facebook.
The man, who is yet to be named shared the picture of himself holding the baby out of the building with the caption: “1,000 likes or I will drop him.”
According to reports, it led to outrage on social media and they demanded the arrest of the man. He was later arrested and charged with endangering the baby’s safety by police.
However, the man, who is a relative of the child, denied he put the baby’s life at risk, stating that “The picture was taken in a balcony with protective barriers. These were removed.”
Despite the irrational action, the child’s father urged the court to forgive the man, saying he had just been playing a game but the court rejected the plea and sent him to prison.
By the way, what was he thinking?
