LEESBURG, Ga. — A Georgia teen is facing child cruelty charges after an online video showed a young man launching a baby several feet across a room using an inflatable pillow.

The video posted on YouTube shows the boy putting a baby on one side of a large yellow pillow and then jumping on the pillow, sending the child flying several feet across the floor, where the baby lands and cries.

"He really had no explanation — just thought it would be funny to put it on YouTube," Col. Duane Sepp of the Lee County Sheriff's Office told FOX News. "It's all about, I guess, that five seconds of glory or whatever, and it's terrible it has to happen at the cost of an 8-month-old child."

The 16-year-old Lee County boy was arrested Tuesday after a school teacher saw the video and called the sheriff's office. The boy's name was not released because of his age.

"This is going to be handled in juvenile court, although this has some detention time that can be placed on the juvenile offender," Sepp said. "The judge, I'm sure, is going to take this very seriously, and when the tape is shown I don't think it's going to be as funny as what he [the offender] originally thought it was."

The teen has been charged with a felony count of cruelty to children as well as a misdemeanor count of the same charge.

Sepp told FOX News that the teen who filmed the baby launch with his cell phone is not facing charges at this time.

"The investigation is ongoing," Sepp said. "This isn't over. We're still digging into it."

The video has since been removed from YouTube. The baby is OK, Sepp said.

MyBabeMaddie replied: Wow that was hard to watch, that boy needs someone to launch him across the room and see how it feels. I hope the baby is okay... I didn't watch the full thing but where are the parents?

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Dh told me about this last night, but I hadn't seen the video yet. That poor baby! That stupid teenager is lucky the baby is ok.

lisar replied: OMG..... I am just in shock. I would have beaten the mess out of that boy.

That happened at the babysitter's house. The parents left the baby with an adult couple and their son is who did this. Their son is behind the camera.

So the real question is..where are the adults that were suppose to be watching this baby?

BAC'sMom replied: Discussing! WTH is wrong with people now a days!

Our Lil' Family replied: OMG...I don't think I can watch that. What is wrong with people? Well I can answer that but I'll hold back.

luvmykids replied: OMG what a nightmare, I'm so happy that baby is ok but that kid should have the snot beat out of him

HuskerMom replied: Wow that's sick, I couldn't watch the whole video. Did the kid think the baby would laugh and think it's fun, stupid kid.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: What has happened to the youth of our nation that there is no empathy anymore? I comment to Bill so often about teenage girls seem to be annoyed by younger kids anymore...no desire to even say hi-to be the 'cool girl' anymore-KWIM? It is so sad to me!

stella6979 replied: Watching that video makes my physically ill. I just want to reach out and grab that baby before he hits the ground.
And I'm sorry, but I think the kid videotaping is just as guilty.

sparkys2boys replied: OMG that is hearbreaking. That poor baby.

My2Beauties replied: I couldn't see the video since it's been removed but I'm probably glad I can't see it. That is so awful
