POLICE IN South Carolina are investigating a house that functioned as an “illegal” nursery after a photo showing a teen’s toes inside a seven-month-old’s mouth surfaced on social media.
According to ABC 13, the photo, which originally appeared on Snapchat, was being passed around social media and was reportedly taken at the home where the child was being cared for.
The police and social services are looking into the home that neighbours believed was operating as childcare service, The Root reported.
Police said that the home isn’t registered with the state leading The South Carolina Department of Social Service to investigate whether the house was functioning as an illegal daycare operation.
Police did not say whether the teen was working at the house or was related to the owners of the home but they added that she is not related to the child.
Police also noted that the 15-year-old isn’t facing any charges.
“Somebody should be apologising, and there should be something done about it,” Bridgette Dawkins, a friend of the baby’s mother told ABC 13.
“It don’t need to be pushed under the rug; she needs to be punished.”
