Don't know if anyone has seen this or not. It's disgusting. Imagine the trauma the baby must endure being held by a stranger, nose and mouth clamped shut by that stranger's hand so the baby can't breathe, then totally submerged THREE times in water! In any other context it would be considered as the child abuse it is, but as usual xianity gets away with bloody murder. At least police are investigating this one but it doesn't follow that "justice" will be forthcoming for the child or his/her (not "it's" incidentally!) parents.
One can only hope that others take note and refuse to engage in this sacrificial rite of the innocent! (Naive, forlorn hope I know ...)

CHISINAU, Moldova - Mouldovan police say they are investigating the case of a six-week-old baby who died minutes after his baptism, apparently due to having inhaled water during the ceremony.
The baby's relatives say he died after gulping water during his baptism on Friday in a Moldovan village.
In the Orthodox religion, babies are baptized by being briefly immersed three times in water. Priests hold the infant's mouths and noses.
Film shot by relatives shows the baby moving after being taken out of the font, but then suffering difficulty breathing as he is dressed. Twenty minutes later, he started bleeding from his nose and mouth and died.
Church spokeswoman Epistimia Goncearenco said Tuesday the priest who performed the baptism is being investigated for manslaughter.
