Multiple employees, including at least one U.S. Navy nurse, have been removed from patient care at Naval Hospital Jacksonville (Fla.) after images of them inappropriately handling newborn babies went viral on Monday.
One photo, which has been shared more than 185,000 times on Facebook, shows a hospital staff member flipping off a baby. The photo, which was a screenshot of an image shared on Snapchat, is captioned with "How I currently feel about these mini Satans," according to ABC News.
In a video, another hospital staff member is seen holding a baby and making it dance to rap music, according to KENS5 News.
"We are aware of a video/photo posted online," the hospital wrote Monday on Facebook. "It's outrageous, unacceptable, incredibly unprofessional and cannot be tolerated. We have identified the staff members involved. They have been removed from patient care and they will be handled by the legal system and military justice."
