Teenagers craving for attention resort to desperate, often reckless acts these days, and the case of a 16-year-old boy in Georgia is just one example of how these gestures can be taken to extreme, and have serious consequences.

The teenager released a video on YouTube that shocked the YouTube community and the entire world. In the video, he puts an 8-month-old baby on an inflatable pillow, jumps on the pillow and projects the baby across the room. The baby lands face-first before starting crying.

The entire scene seems very amusing for the deranged teenager, who wants to see if the baby can fly. He doesn’t feel any remorse for his actions, and advises viewers not to feel bad about laughing either.

Psychologists found an explanation for the teenager’s act, saying he suffers from an attention seeking behavior. Dr. Cheryl Kaiser, Insight Psychologist, explained for WALB News that people posting such videos are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame, and YouTube seems to be the perfect tool to do that.

It gives them the chance to be seen, to be shocking, to get recognized, to do something out of this world, Kaiser said. His parents being away gave him the perfect chance to do something that might be avoided if parents and children would sit down and talk more.

The teenager was arrested on Tuesday and taken to the Crisp County Youth Detention Center in Cordele, Lee County, after a teacher alerted the local authorities. He is now charged with a felony count of cruelty as well as a misdemeanor count of the same charge. No charges have been filed against the boy filming the incident.
