(MyFoxBoston.com) -- A video posted on YouTube shows parents pranking their young son, making him cry.
The video shows one adult, wearing a surgical mask, taking the temperature of her son. Once the thermometer beeps and the temperature is determined, another adult can be heard in the background saying he has Ebola. The boy then bursts into hysterics, thinking he's been infected with the deadly virus.
The latest Ebola epidemic is the largest the world has seen, according to wpxi.com. Over 10,000 people have been affected by it and almost half of them have died. Despite the severity of the virus, some think the parents shown in this video went too far with the prank.
