Two corpsmen at the Naval Hospital Jacksonville have been fired after sharing images of themselves inappropriately handling newborns and calling the babies “mini Satans,” reports the Huffington Post. The employees posted a Snapchat video of a staff member moving an infant’s arms so that it looked like the baby was dancing while 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” plays in the background. They also posted a photo of an employee holding up her middle finger to a newborn with the caption: “How I currently feel about these ‘mini Satans.’” Facebook user Denisa Shellito, who claims to be a former classmate of the Snapchatter, posted the video and photo on Facebook and wrote, “A girl I went to high school with is a navy nurse and this is how her and her shty friend treat the babies that have just been born. My blood is literally boiling and I want to snitch bc that is someone’s child. The first pic is her friend who is making the baby dance and she’s playing rap music in the background. I’m LIVID and I’m snitching bc she should get fired from her job but idk how to go about it. Pissed isn’t even the words.” Shellito’s post, which had been shared more than 330,000 times by Sept. 20 evening, identifies the staff member as Allyson Thompson. CBS46 identifies the other staff member involved as Joanie Barrett.
