Horror as mum is charged with child cruelty 'after putting daughter, 2, in a hot oven' causing third degree burns

A TEXAN mother has been charged on suspicion of putting her two-year-old daughter in a hot oven, causing horrific burns.

Somervell County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to a property late last Thursday following reports a child had been severely burned.

Upon arriving at the scene, witnesses told deputies that Tasha Shontell Hatcher, 35, said she'd put her child in the oven.

The unnamed toddler is currently sedated in hospital in a stable condition after suffering third degree burns.

Texas Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales says the little has been taken into their custody and will be placed in foster care when released from the hospital.

Hatcher has been charged with injury to a child with serious bodily injury and arraigned Saturday.

Bond has been set at $300,000 and it isn't immediately known whether Hatcher has a lawyer.

According to her Facebook page, the single mother currently works at Quality Inn and Suites and StoneWater Church in Glen Rose, Texas.

Good grief. Talking about the set of skills necessary (but not mandatory) that must be in place prior to having a child and becoming a parent.

Wasn't there an old fable about a witch that turned children into cookies...

OMG! that's horrible! they should put the mother in the oven - see how she likes it.

And I thought my mother trying to drown me in scolding hot water in the bath, was bad enough. Poor kid, I hope she recovers.. Dr said my back would be scarred for life, luckily he was wrong.
