As the fridge is reopened the terrified baby screams as girls can be heard off camera laughing hysterically.It is unclear how long the child was left in the fridge.
A further clip filmed shows the same girl rocking the baby in her arms and saying: "Hi baby. See, he's okay!"
The appalling incident took place at around 4.30pm on Monday in Danvers, Massachusetts, USA
The child’s mother told ABC affiliate WCVB that the two babysitters are her niece and the niece’s friend.
“I was horrified. I was in shock,” the mother said. “I’m traumatized from that. I don’t want anyone near my child anymore.”
She added: “I know she wouldn’t hurt my daughter and that wasn’t her intentions. I think it was all foolishness, stupidity. I will no longer be leaving my children with my niece or her friends again ever in my life.”
