A concerned dad who suspected his wife of beating their son has had his worst fears realised.
The worried husband had CCTV cameras installed in the home after becoming suspicious of his partner’s behaviour towards their child, reports The Sun.
Unfortunately he was proven right, and in the disturbing scenes the mother can clearly be seen shaking and smacking her toddler as they sit together on a bed.
At first she appears to be playing with him but all of a sudden she shoves him forcefully down on his front, slapping him repeatedly – at one point pausing to adjust her bracelets.
She can then be seen roughly shaking the boy and grabbing him by the neck. The small child remains worryingly motionless through the ordeal which suggests he may be used to the abuse.
The father said:
I suspected that my wife beats our son, hence got a CCTV camera installed [in the house].
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he has alerted the authorities.
