Glad the mom is away from the baby, and glad the baby is with Children Services.
No excuses, but if "mom" were the only one taking care of the baby -- day-in-day-out, if could be that she didn't know how to handle a possibly tuff situation. Just make sure the baby has a dry diaper, is fed, and put the child in his/her crib.
OTOH, if this situation -- hitting & screaming at the baby, etc. -- is something that has happened more than once, then there is a whole other situation which looks like what we probably have here.
(I don't use FB, so I probably don't have as much info as I should, WRT this sad situation.)
Just glad the little one is away from "mom."
