A South Carolina woman was arrested Thursday after she poured water on her 9-month-old baby, authorities said. According to a warrant, 33-year-old Caitlin Alyse Hardy was charged with cruelty to children after police saw the incident in a video posted to Facebook. The infant, authorities say, is stable and woke up coughing after the second round of water was poured on her. In the video, the mother allegedly explained that pouring water over her sleeping child’s head was “payback for waking me up all kinda times of the night.” The sheriff’s office has notified the Sumter County Department of Social Services.
