Oh, baby!
An Algerian court has sentenced a man to two years in the slammer for dangling an infant out of a window in Algiers to attract “likes” on Facebook.
He wrote, “1,000 likes or I will drop him” – prompting a backlash from users who demanded his arrest for child abuse, the BBC reported.
The man held the child from a 15th-floor apartment, news site Al Arabiya reported.
But the man, a relative of the child, denied putting the baby at risk, saying the photo had been altered, Algeria’s privately owned Ennahar TV reported.
“The picture was taken in a balcony with protective barriers. These were removed,” he was quoted as saying.
The kid’s father urged the court to forgive the man, saying he had just been fooling around – but the judge saw it differently.
