The shocking picture shows the toddler, too young to stand, being held up by its delighted father so it can kick the decomposing head with its bare feet.
The man, pictured wearing
camouflage, is thought to be a supporter of the Islamic State.
The image of the child is
believed to have been posted by militants fighting across Iraq and Syria and
was the latest to have emerged in a collection of children posing like terrorists.
It's not the first time the
terrorist group has used shocking images of children in their propaganda
campaign, with a previous image showing a baby lying on an Islamic State flag
next to guns and grenades.
Another shocking picture,
reportedly posted by the group, shows a baby propped up with a Kalashnikov
bigger than his entire body.

Several recent reports have
already claimed to show children fighting for the terrorist group.
Disturbing images emerged
recently of a young child appearing to emulate “Jihad John,” the British
Islamic State militant who allegedly behind the recent beheadings of American
and British captives.
Holding a large knife and
standing in front of the black flag, the masked child appeared to
"re-enact" the executions by beheading a doll in an orange jumpsuit.

The picture of the young
child was posted along with the disturbing message: "Teach your children
to cut necks, tomorrow there will be a lot of rotten heads."
Another image posted last
month is said to show a young Belgian boy, named as Younes Abaaound, who left
his country to become one of the many foreign fighters waging jihad in Syria.
The chilling image of
Abaaound follows a horrific picture which was posted online by convicted
Australian terrorist Khaled Sharrouf, showing his seven-year-old son holding a
decapitated head in Syria.
The image was posted with
the caption: “That’s my boy.”

'That's my boy': This
horrific picture was reportedly posted to Khaled Sharrouf's twitter account.
The United Nations have voiced their condemnation, stating that the IS
are responsible for recruiting children.
