A Florida mom may be facing child abuse charges after she post a video that appears to show her allowing her toddler to be bitten by a snake, Daily Mail reports. 

Chartelle Geanette St. Laurent, 34, posted the footage on Facebook last Friday, which rapidly went viral.

The video showed St. Laurent's one-year-old daughter sitting in her highchair while her mother holds a box containing the grass snake out in front of her.

The youngster is seen reaching out towards the creature, which suddenly strikes, causing her to burst into tears. St Laurent is overheard laughing in the background while her toddler bawls.
