Was this woman really using a child as an "umbrella" during a recent rainstorm?

This video was reportedly shot in Baton Rouge and posted onto social media. From there, the video went viral over the weekend.

This Baton Rouge woman appears to be using a child to shield her head from the rain, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt here. Perhaps she was hoisting the baby over head for some other reason.

However, it really does appear that she was holding the baby over her head to prevent her hair from getting wet here.

I'm just glad that this woman did not fall while holding the baby over her head.
