Mother in Calgary accused of slapping and biting her 14-month-old son while playing Fortnite.
A mother in Calgary, Canada, has been arrested on suspicion of assault after she was allegedly seen beating her child live on gaming streaming service Twitch.
According to police, the suspect is alleged to have slapped, pushed and bitten her 14-month-old son during the course of the video. The incident was broadcast on Twitch, a popular live-streaming service on which users film themselves playing video games for others to watch. "We want to thank the public and the media for bringing this video to our attention. When you find a video such as this online, it is very important that you report it to police, and not just share it throughout social media platforms," Child Abuse Unit Staff Sgt. Peter Siegenthaler said in a statement.
"It's essentially that the rough-handling, the biting, the slapping of the child that constitutes an assault," Siegenthaler said."Our evidence suggests that, at this point, one count of assault [deals with] the younger of the two children.""It's hard because sometimes these videos are being circulated for years and it's hard to determine the origin and the time these videos were produced," he said.
