Father jailed for dangling his baby from tall building for Facebook likes

A father has been jailed for 2 years after he posted a sickening image of him dangling his baby from a 15th floor window to get likes on Facebook.

The man, from Algeria, posted a photo online of him holding the baby by his t-shirt and said: ''1,000 likes or I will drop him''.



After seeing the post, many people took to social media and demanded that the man be charged with child abuse.

Yesterday, an Algerian court in the capital Algiers sentenced the man to two years in prison.
