ASU Baby keg stand: Child abuse or photo op?

This picture has a lot of people talking. It shows a child in diapers being held up by an adult, with the nozzle to a keg of beer in his mouth.

The picture appears to have been taken over the weekend and sent to the website thedirty.com.

We talked with the website's owner. He's live with more on photo and the reaction.

Its not clear if the child was actually drinking beer, but you can clearly see the nozzle in his mouth. Onlookers snapped photos as an adult held the child up for a "keg stand," where a person is held upside down and drinks as much beer as he can.

According to thedirty.com, an ASU student, who was appalled, sent the picture in.

"I just don't see the joke in it at all," says website creator Nik Richie. "People are really looking at this saying, even if it was a joke it is just poor taste and it is terrible parenting."

Richie says the photo was taken while tailgating outside the stadium before Saturday's game.

"If you are an ASU alumni, I know this is a party school and people look at ASU like this is what you do. It is fun and games. It is not."

If this was intended to be joke, not many people are laughing now. ASU Police are investigating.
