In the wake of a group of monkeys kidnapping a baby and hurling the infant to its death in India, a video is circulating on social media showing a monkey attempting to kidnap a baby but to no avail. 

The video shows the couple trying to fend off the crazed primate as it continuously tried prying the baby away from its mother. 

On a lighter note, many others pointed out that the father didn't appear to be putting it optimum effort in making sure the monkey knew not to try to kidnap that baby.
