Two employees at the Naval Hospital of Jacksonville, Florida face what officials described as "military justice" after photos posted to social media showed one of them making an obscene gesture to newborn babies in their care and making the infants dance to rap music.

Two women, identified as Navy corpsmen Allyson Thompson and Joanie Barrett, have been removed from patient care after the photos were posted to social media, according to the hospital. Thompson is a native of Alabama and a graduate of Opelika High School, according to her Facebook page.

"We are aware of a video / photo posted online. It's outrageous, unacceptable, incredibly unprofessional, and cannot be tolerated. We have identified those involved-- two junior enlisted staff. They have been removed from patient care and they will be handled by the legal system and military justice. We've notified the patient's parents," Jeanne Casey, Public Affairs Officer at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, said in a statement.

The hospital's response comes after photos were posted to a Snapchat account showing one of the women making an obscene gesture to an infant in a hospital crib. The caption underneath said "How I currently feel about these mini Satans."

Another video shows one of the corpsmen holding a newborn baby up by its arms as she makes it dance to 50 Cent's song "In Da Club."

The photos were shared with a high school classmate of one of the women took screenshots of the images before posting them to Facebook. The images were later shared on military sites and with the hospital.

The post has been shared almost 300,000 times.

Updated Sept. 27 to reflect it is unclear which woman appeared in which photos.
