Mom gets death threats after posting a video where she's giving her toddler 'wine'
A mother, who stayed anonymous, said she received death threats after a video of her offering "wine" to a young girl has gone viral.
Believed to have been shot in Lanarkshire, Scotland, in July of this current year, the video shows a woman sitting on a chair and giving a toddler a bottle of what seems to be wine.
The infant, who looks no older than three, then snatches it with both hands and promptly drinks.
In the disturbing clip, the mother can be seen grinning as she takes back the bottle from the little girl.
