A Florida mother is under police investigation after posting a video to Facebook showing her one-year-old daughter being bitten by a Red Ratsnake
Chartelle Geanette St Laurent said she decided to “teach” her daughter about the dangers posed by the creatures.
In a video posted on Facebook the one-year-old is seen reaching for the snake, whereupon she is bitten on the right thumb and starts crying.
The 34-year-old can be heard laughing in the background, though the child did not sustain any injuries related to the bite.
“People are too sensitive. They just think that I hurt my child intentionally. The people that know me know that I would never hurt my children,” she said.
She went on to say her daughter was not hurt, but cried because she was scared of the snake’s quick strike.
“His teeth are too small to actually puncture the skin. So he’s very harmless.”
