Grim footage of a man apparently stuffing a cigarette into a toddler’s mouth before giving the child a glass of “beer” has sparked outrage after racking up hundreds of thousands of views.

The shocking video, posted on Facebook, shows the man first placing a lit cigarette in the child's mouth and ecouraging it to inhale before replacing it with a fresh cigarette and lighting it.

Between puffs, the little boy – who does not appear to enjoy smoking – drinks a sizeable amount of what looks like beer from a half-empty glass on the table in front of him.

The man and his friends are heard laughing throughout the clip and saying: “This is what being a man is all about!”

It is thought the video was filmed in Spain and shows a group of Romanian men.

It was shared on social media by Romanian Daniel Tecu, who lives in Spain.

Mr Tecu posted the message: “Anyone recognize this person? Or what town it is? We could tell the city authorities concerned.”

It has been shared more than 2,500 times.

Angry commenters called for the boy to be taken away from his parents.

“A true father never will invite a child to do things to affect his health,” wrote one.

Another said: “Who will take action? Where’s the police? What measures will be taken against him?”

A third said the adults in the film “deserve only fists in their mouths”.
