The images have quickly become viral because of their terrible hardness: it does not change the gesture at any time. Very serious, the man holds his baby, even by the ears, and drops it again and again. The little girl falls to lead, does not stand. The scene lasts 45 seconds, 45 very long seconds that leave the viewer with the stomach in the throat.

Saudi authorities have arrested a man, identified as Yousif Alqutai , a Palestinian resident in Saudi Arabia, according to The New Arab portal, for mistreating his young daughter by forcing her to stand. He grabs her by the neck and yells at her, lifts her from the ears, slaps and blows her belly. Everything is recorded.

The father himself has issued a statement on social networks in which he apologizes and alleges that the images were filmed long ago: "As you can see everyone, she is perfectly fine. I tried to teach her to walk and now she walks alone by the grace of God".

Then the man proceeds to blame his wife, who he said left him alone with four children: "It has been complicated." Finally, he asks that they pray for him instead of against him.
