Childminder dumps gallons of water on screaming baby’s head then tells her ‘get over it’
The tot can be seen howling after a huge bucket drops a torrent on her in a water park
A BABYSITTER is being investigated after footage emerged of her allowing a child in her care to have gallons of water dumped over her head.
The tot can be seen howling after a huge bucket drops a torrent on her in a water park in Indianapolis, USA.
The video shows tiny Annora Anderson being sat directly beneath the water dump at Greenwood splash pad as the babysitter apparently tells the seven-month-old to "get over it. It's part of being a kid."
Desiree Howell, who shot the clip, also claims to have seen the childminder put the little girl's face directly in a sprinkler, force her to walk on a hot pavement and swing her too high.
After she posted the video to Facebook it took users just two hours to identify the woman on social media.

Howell told the : "Every cell in my body wanted to go grab that baby and keep her safe but the way people are these days you never know what could have happened."
She said she saw the woman place the tiny tot under the bucket several times before she called the police.
Annora's 19-year-old mum Brittany Dixson spotted the video after it began to go viral and immediately collected her daughter and sacked the babysitter.
She said:"I was literally hysterically crying - I was shaking.";
After she realised her daughter was unharmed she added: "I know it was poor judgement and not cruel intention."
According to her mum little Annora is doing "amazing" and isn't suffering after being caught in the deluge.
Local cops said the babysitter was not arrested and police had referred the case to the Department of Child Services.
