Children Filmed Holding Hands Up In Air For More Than Hour, Hit With Stick MORE: Strange Images On Local6.com In Feb.

The neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, bought a wireless surveillence camera for his home security. After he installed it, the camera ended up getting a signal from a different wireless camera in a nearby house.

The man saw two young children holding their hands in the air for more than an hour. He then put a tape in and began recording as a woman entered the room and hit one of the children in the chest.

Later, the woman was filmed returning to the room and hitting the other girl with a stick.

The man called police, who then went door-to-door until they found the woman. She turned out to be a foster mother.

Police took the children, ages 2 and 4, into protective custody and have launched an investigation.

A third foster child, not on the tape, was also taken into protective custody along with the woman's three biological kids.
