A video of a baby being soaked with freezing water by her grandfather during his Ice Bucket Challenge is at the centre of an angry backlash.  
 
In the video, the grandfather - from Texas in the US - can be seen pouring the bucket of iced water over his head and drenching his 10-month-old granddaughter in the process.
 
The video has been viewed by thousands of people on Facebook, and a welfare check has been launched by the Texas Department of Children and Families, into the family after multiple complaints.
 
The baby’s father Claude Dalour, who is currently going through a divorce from the baby’s mum, has expressed his anger over the video.
 
"I was shocked," he said. “Everybody I know was pretty much shocked and appalled."
 
"You don't do that to an infant. He should know better,” he added.
 
The dad said he’s gone to the police about the incident. "It's a big deal," he said. "She's not his child, she's my child."
