Teen Babysitters Allegedly Put Infant In Fridge On Video

DANVERS, MA – Two teenage babysitters are facing charges after a Snapchat video of them allegedly putting a baby into a refrigerator was circulated.

The girls face charges of child endangerment and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. They were released to their parents after their arraignment at Salem Juvenile Court on Tuesday. The girls were babysitting for a family in Danvers. The identity of the girls and the baby are not being released.

The baby's mother told WBZ-TV she was angry but does not think the girls intended to harm the infant. The mother says her child is fine.

Police became aware of the Monday night incident after a social media video surfaced of the child crying and the girls laughing.
