Employees Removed After Viral Post
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Hospital employees have been removed from their post at the Naval Hospital Jacksonville after disturbing photos with newborns surfaced on social media Monday.
The viral post shared a photo from a Snapchat account, which showed the employee giving the middle finger to a newborn, followed by a caption that read “How I currently feel about these mini Satans.” The post also read the “navy nurse” and her friend made a baby dance to rap music.
Jeanne Casey, the Public Affairs Officer at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, released the following statement:
“We are aware of a video/ photo posted online. It’s outrageous, unacceptable, incredibly unprofessional, and cannot be tolerated. We have identified the staff members involved. They have been removed from patient care and they will be handled by the legal system and military justice. We’re in the process of notifying the patient”s parents.”
The statement was also posted on the Naval Hospital Jacksonville Facebook page:
They should never be allowed to work with babies/kids and the elderly again! I hope this stupid and very disrespectful act makes their professional future very difficult. This should be on a CRB background check history.
This makes me so angry!!! I deffo agree with u on this!! But unfortunately people like this kinda slip through the system ! CBR check??? You’ve seen it and heard it in the news…. these bastards still work with children and the elderly 😡😡
That is disrespectful , I have my newborn baby still in hospital and I am now worried , I think its terrible , those people have no right to do that , yeah they might not like baby’s but its what they signed up to and if they dont like newborns then keep it on the Inside and don’t spread it around on social media , ugh this is just wrong , they should be jaild for cruelty to newborns

I hope them babies or any child never have to go threw this again this has deeply upset alot of viewers .hope there dealt with for there vile actions there a disgrace and should never be allowed near any child again.
