Grandfather Made 10-Month-Old Take Ice Bucket Challenge

A grandfather in Houston, Texas, may be in trouble with the law after allegedly making his 10-month-old granddaughter take the ice bucket challenge.

Earlier this week, Reggie Stewart posteda video of himself taking the ice bucket challenge.While he is challenging others, the granddaughter sits in a walker trying to grab the bucket full of ice.
Ive been called out for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and my granddaughter is going to do it with me, he said a few seconds before dumping the freezing water on himself and the child.
The video ends before the girls reaction can be seen, but the site of a little girl being drenched with at least a gallon of chilly water left a burning impression on Claude Dalcour, who claims to be the girls father.
I was shocked, appalled. It brought me to tears, like I was hurt, angry. Thats all I can say, Dalcour told Fox26.com.Its abuse because my daughter is an infant.She doesnt know whats going on.
Dalcour said he is still married to the girls mother, but the two are separated.
Dalcour said he reported the video to local law enforcement officers, who have reportedly visitedStewarts home to check on the childs welfare,the Houston Chronicle reports.
The Texas Department of Children and Families was also contacted, but the agency would not confirm whether it isinvestigating the allegations,KHOU TV reports.
Stewart has not been charged with any crime, the station reports.
Stewart has not responded to media inquiries, buthas since removed the video from his page.
He still has a photo of the girl as his profile picture.
