Dad Outraged as 10-Month Old Takes Ice Bucket Challenge With Her Grandfather

Sep 2 2014 - 8:24am

You can't scroll through your Facebook or Instagram feeds without seeing someone taking the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge these days. The viral charity fundraiser is a hit with parents and children alike, but one Houston, TX, child's video is raising some concern. The video shows Claude Dalcour's 10-month-old daughter being doused with ice cold water [1] as her grandfather stood above her and took the challenge.

Dalcour and the child's mother are going through a divorce, and the maternal grandfather's video is only adding fuel to the fire. "My family was shocked, my friends were shocked, pretty much everyone I know was shocked and appalled," Dalcour says. "You don't do that to an infant!"

Family and friends aren't just taking notice — Dalcour contacted the local police, and a Facebook user reported the incident to child protective services.
