She then asks the crying baby: ‘What’s the matter? Why are you crying?’

It is unclear if the video is fake or whether the child is actually real – but extreme baby yoga is said to be common in Eastern Russia.

The controversial practice has become highly popular in the country and many parents pay ‘professionals’ to administer the extreme yoga to their young children.

Sessions can often last up to five minutes and babies are spun, swung and flipped – often by a single limb.

It is believed it increases blood flow to the baby’s joints and will make the child grow bigger and stronger than it normally would.

Yesterday Lana Wilson, who discovered the video on the social networking site, said she thought it was ‘horrific beyond words’.

She said: ‘I found a disgusting video on Facebook which is horrific beyond words.

‘Many users have already been in contact with Facebook to remove said video but they deemed it non threatening and violent.

‘Maybe they weren’t watch the same video, but this is disgusting, these parents need to be locked up.

‘I find it unbelievable that the video is still sitting there, it make me sick with horror just watching it.’

The video, called ‘real baby swung around by mum’, has 87,863 likes, been shared 6,987 times – but has also attracted 81,329 negative comments.

One disgusted viewer wrote: ‘Only managed to watch a couple of seconds of this sick video! All the people involved in this need to be strung up!!

‘Can’t believe what I just witnessed, sick to the bottom of my stomach.’

Another wrote: ‘This is an awful video and that is no mum who would do this to a new born baby. She needs locking up poor little fella. He just wants cuddles.’

Lena Fokina, who is not in the video but has become well known for practicing the bizarre routines, told reporters in an interview last year that the movements were designed to improve baby’s muscular abilities.

The Russian said: ‘The method was originally developed to cure and correct the health of children having muscular or skeletal problems but it is also suitable for healthy children.

‘The movements are designed to improve their muscular abilities and development.

‘And the children often turn out to be early readers, singers, talkers, swimmers. It also makes their hands stronger. We are humanists and we don’t do anything wrong.’

Father Throws 4 Year Old Daughter Off Cliff

The British mother of the four-year-old victim cries in an LA court as her nearly 15-year wait for justice comes to an end.

A father has been convicted of first-degree murder for throwing his daughter off a cliff in California.

Cameron Brown killed four-year-old Lauren Sarene Key nearly 15 years ago to get revenge against her mother and avoid custody payments, prosecutors said.

The former airline baggage handler, 53, showed no emotion in Los Angeles Superior Court as the verdict was read out.

He faces a mandatory term of life in prison without parole when he is sentenced next month.

Briton Sarah Key-Marer, Brown’s ex-wife and Lauren’s mother, was crying in the courtroom.

Brown, 53, claimed his daughter tripped and fell

“It’s all been really hard. The pain, we just learned to live with the pain,” she said.

“All I ever wanted was that he would take responsibility for what happened that day.

“So I am thankful to God for carrying me and my family and my friends through this time.”

Brown maintained his daughter’s death was an accident.

He said she tripped and fell as she ran towards the cliff’s edge at Inspiration Point in Rancho Palos Verdes in November 2000.

“I’m innocent,” he told the judge.

Inspiration Point, where Lauren died in 2000

But prosecutors said he tossed her off the 120-ft (36.5m) cliff because he never wanted the child and was locked in a bitter custody dispute with her mother.

The long-running case saw two previous juries deadlocked over whether Brown was guilty of murder or manslaughter.

In this third trial, jurors heard most of the same evidence as the previous juries.

But evidence of a financial motive for Lauren’s killing was bolstered by a new witness.

Deputy District Attorney Craig Hum said the witness testified that Brown had said it would be “nice to get rid of Lauren” to get out of paying $1,000-a-month child support.

Leaving court, juror Shelia Janis said: “I’m sorry to Sarah for all the pain she has been going through. I’m sorry for the death of your baby. But justice has finally been served.”

10 Year Old Rape Victim Denied Of Abortion

The girl is pregnant after being raped by her stepfather but the government of Paraguay has refused to grant her an abortion, stating that her life is not in danger. Activists are arguing that “life is not only a matter of having a pulse.”

A 10-year-old pregnant with her stepfather’s child will not be allowed to get an abortion because the government of Paraguay doesn’t believe that her life in immediate danger. 

On April 23, the unnamed girl was reportedly checked into the hospital by her mother. She complained of stomach pains and tests showed she was already 21-weeks pregnant. Earlier this week, her mother apparently requested her daughter be given an abortion, and when it was revealed that her stepfather impregnated her, the mother was taken into custody.Doctors requested permission to perform the procedure. In Paraguay, abortions can’t be performed in the case of rape or incest, and only if the government decides that a life is in danger. In this case they decided it wasn’t.The Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR), an international legal advocacy organization, has been collaborating with attorneys on the ground in Paraguay to fight the decision.

“They would not consider her health as a risk to her life?” says Paula Avila-Guillen, the Latin America and Caribbean advocacy advisor at CRR, about the government’s decision. “Life is not only a matter of having a pulse.”

According to CRR’s information, the girl is under 70 lbs. and delivering a child could result in “permanent damage,” not to mention psychological issues.

“No 10-year-old is ready to be a mother. That will carry trauma for her whole family,” Avila-Guillen says. The risk of complications during child birth is exponentially higher in girls under 15—according to the World Health Organization maternal mortality is the leading cause of death for adolescent girls in developing countries.

“I don’t think anybody—you don’t need to be doctor or an advocate or even understand these issues—would realize a 10-year-old with a pregnancy as a product of rape is just completely inhumane,” Avila-Guillen says.

Punishment for illegal abortions can land a doctor, or even the woman herself, in jail for more than two years. As a result, the United Nations has reported upwards of 30,000 under-the-table abortions performed annually. According to CRR, as of Wednesday, the doctors were exploring other considerations to protect her health as petitions to approve the abortion had not garnered a response from the government, despite increasing international pressure.

“Idon’t think anybody—you don’t need to be doctor or an advocate or even understand these issues—would realize a 10-year-old with a pregnancy as a product of rape is just completely inhumane.”

South America has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the world. Abortion is against the law in all circumstances—even if a mother’s life is in danger—in Chile, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. But CRR has worked on similar cases in abortion-restrictive countries, like Colombia and Chile, with success.

In the past, situations that garnered similar media attention have ended with the government accepting the demands of activists. But even a concession could come too late. Once a doctor decides a pregnancy is too far progressed for a safe abortion, there’s no choice but to deliver the baby. “Clearly a girl at such a young age doesn’t have the capacity to be a mother. But even in cases where it’s too late, the role of advocates is to ensure some type of support,” Avila-Guillen says.

According to Amnesty International, which calls this case “tantamount to torture,” the young girl has been transferred to a center for young mothers to be given neonatal care. “There is no indication that the health of the (girl) is at risk … therefore we are not, from any point of view, in favor of the termination of the pregnancy,” Paraguayan Health Minister Antonio Barrios told CNN. “The Justice Department will determine later who will have custody of the mother and child after (the birth).”

Sadly, this case shares tragic similarities with another case being covered in local Paraguay news, of a 12-year-old girl impregnated by her father. Her stepmother saw signs of pregnancy and took her to the doctor, who confirmed it. The father is currently being held and could face 12 years in prison. What will happen to his daughter is not currently known.

“They think they’re allowing the right to life and they’re protecting basic life [with abortion laws],” Avila-Guillen says. “ But these restrictions are very harmful for women and girls—they not only affect their life, they affect their potential of the life they want to build. Access to abortion that should be granted and only discussed between women and doctors. If that had been the case she would not be in the news—she would not be exposed to all this.”
