An Algerian man was sentenced to two years in prison for dangling a child out of a 15th story window.
An Algerian man took a photo of the boy being held only by the back of his shirt and posted it to Facebook, saying “1,000 likes or I will drop him,” according to the BBC.
The man was charged with endangering the toddler’s safety.
At his hearing, he insisted that the photo had been altered by others and that the child was actually safe inside the barriers of the balcony.
The child’s father asked the court to forgive the man. The judge disagreed and said that the photo clearly shows the child was in danger.
The man was sentenced to two years in prison.
