On December 4, a Mississippi family experienced a chilling and horrifying invasion of their privacy when someone used the Ring security camera in their daughters’ bedroom to speak their eight-year-old daughter, say he was Santa Claus, and encourage them to act in destructive ways.

As WMC5 reported, the mother of the four children, Ashley LeMay, who works nights as a medical research scientist, purchased the camera to keep on eye on her three daughters. She told Buzzfeed News, “My 4-year-old has a medical condition. She has a history of seizures and I can’t be there all the time. I got them so when I am at work and my baby got up I could tell her, ‘Hey, I love you, go back to sleep,’ and she wouldn’t know I wasn’t there.”
