"I only got to see parts of the video, but if the woman isn't purposely abusing the child she is badly mistreating her. The shots of the sitter on a chair "shaking" the baby is frightening. Watching the range of motion, you can see the baby's head go way back. There is no way you can do that to a 5 month old without risking serious injury."
Thanks for the link--you're right. The baby's head whips back and forth; it almost looks as if her head hits her back a couple of times. Horrific.

I'm not defending child abuse so don't take this the wrong way.
My only concern here is what is the actual speed of these frames? I mean I can easily see where it can be interpreted that the child is being abused, but if these are being taken at 1 second or even .5 second intervals then this very well may be completely innocent.
I would definitely have to have some good technical testimony regarding this video system before I could send someone to jail based on what I've seen here.
