A toddler who was cursed at and encouraged to curse in a video posted online has been placed in protective custody, Omaha police announced Wednesday. The video shows an African-American boy wearing only a diaper as he's harangued with racial slurs and obscenities from at least three adults. The child responds to the off-camera adults with profanities of his own and at one point raises his middle finger.
The Omaha Police Department says it reviewed the video with prosecutors and authorities determined no criminal activities had taken place. However, police say they worked with Child Protective Services regarding concerns for the toddler's well-being and the investigation did find safety concerns in the home that led to the removal of the four children.
