Two hospital employees have been fired after sharing footage of themselves making newborn babies dance to rap music.
The junior corpsmen also posted photos of them giving the middle finger to the infants and calling them “mini satans.”
The employee said that this is “currently how I feel” about the newborns while holding up her middle finger in front of the camera.
First Coast News reports that the footage was shared over 100,000 times on Monday evening.
The incident occurred at the Naval Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida.

Shortly afterwards, the hospital issued a statement on Facebook saying that they were “aware” of the videos that had been shared online, and that they were “outrageous, unacceptable, incredibly unprofessional, and cannot be tolerated.”
They also confirmed that the two junior enlisted corpsmen had been “removed” from the hospital and were going to be “handled” by the legal system and military justice.
The newborns’ parents have also been notified.
