POLICE are probing a video circulating on social media showing a child blowing vape smoke into an infant's mouth in Essex.

Essex Police said officers are in contact with "all those" involved in the video, with safeguarding checks being carried out.

A spokesman said: "Specialist officers are continuing to work alongside social care professionals and the family involved.

"We would ask that anyone who views the video does not share it and does not attempt to make contact with anyone involved in the footage."
