Laughing girls desecrate baby's grave and throw object at headstone

This is the moment two girls laughed as they videoed themselves messing with the grave of a baby.

The disgusting incident, which was filmed by one of the girls involved, happened at Leigh Cemetery on Manchester Road, Wigan, and was circulated on social media. There are two videos and one shows a girl taking items from the grave of a young child and throwing a Thomas the Tank Engine toy at the headstone while laughing, MEN reports.

In the other video, a girl is seen taking flowers from another grave and pouring them from their container onto the pathway at the cemetery. Many have taken to social media to voice their displeasure of the act which has been branded as ‘disgusting and vile’. One commenter wrote: "It's absolutely vile! Any decent parent would be disgusted!"
