In a video that went viral on Facebook, Keri Morrison, the baby’s mother, is seen calmly enticing her 13-month-old baby girl into a swimming pool with an interesting object and letting her topple headfirst into the water. The baby is then left to fend for herself to keep afloat.
“So hard to watch but every kid should learn this young,” the video was captioned. After the clip was posted, it sparked debate among parents. While some parents praised Keri for teaching her baby to “self-save” herself, some criticized the mom for bad parenting.
