    Some internet users are shocked and stunned after video surfaced of a 6-month-old Florida baby struggling to swim as her mother watches on.

    The two-minute video, uploaded to Facebook by user Dov, shows a bubbly baby girl in a yellow dress being lured out into a pool.

    She plunges in after a bright, flowered sandal and her head goes under, but neither of the adults step in to help her. Instead, they watch as she struggles and ends up floating on her back.
