The sickening video was spotted on one of the kid's Facebook page by their horrified dad.

Experts have said the baby could be a doll once used for training purposes.

It had an umbilical cord still attached and a large amount of  liquid sitting beneath it.

Cops have said six youths, all aged between 13 and 16, have been charged with stealing and breaking into the former Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow.

The dad who found the video said: "Me and my wife noticed (the footage) in a group chat on Monday morning.

"We check up on his Facebook regularly because he's only 13.

"The whole building at Stobhill has been broken into for several weeks by curious kids during the summer holidays with nothing to do.

"My boy seems quite traumatised."
