According to police, the video was recorded a few weeks ago.
The woman allegedly involved lives in an apartment building in Turtle Creek, according to people identifying themselves as relatives.
She allegedly wrote on social media that the video was just a prank designed to get her husband’s attention.
On Monday, Kaminski learned the baby has been taken away from the woman. In addition, CYF also took the woman’s other three children.
The baby, who’s around 1 year old, is OK, police said.
