A Connecticut mother is accused of abusing her 10-month-old baby and video recording the incidents.

Police in West Haven, Conn., arrested Kellie Park, 20, last week after the baby’s father contacted authorities saying she texted him videos of her tormenting, berating and assaulting the infant, according to a police report.

In one video, Park is heard telling the baby to “eat stuff off the floor, this is what your dad wants me to do,” police said.

In another, the baby is seen screaming and crying in a high chair as Park asks if the infant is hungry, while throwing food at the child. Police say Park can be seen taking the baby from the high chair and putting the infant in a portable crib and shaking the crib, causing the child to fall out. She can be heard saying “shake it up” on the video.

Park was arrested June 20 and charged with third-degree assault, cruelty to persons, risk of injury and threatening.

Police said Park also sent separate text messages to the father.
The texts included “ill (expletive) break her face,” “ill beat her (expletive) face in” and “i love abusing this kid,” police said.
