In a message posted on Facebook the hospital, which provides care for members of the U.S. military, said it had contacted the parents of the baby and the nurses were no longer working in patient care.

"We are aware of a video/photo posted online. It's outrageous, unacceptable, incredibly unprofessional, and cannot be tolerated," the statement read. "We have identified the staff members involved. They have been removed from patient care and they will be handled by the legal system and military justice."
