Thread: Baby dies after mother mistakenly put her in oven

Beggars belief.

A baby died after her mother mistakenly put her down for a nap in the oven, a US prosecutor has said.

Mariah Thomas of Kansas City, Missouri, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Police responded to a report of an infant not breathing on Friday afternoon.

A probable cause statement said responders found the child with apparent burns.

The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.

The statement said responders were told by a witness the mother "put the child down for a nap and accidentally placed her in the oven instead of the crib".

It did not explain how that mistake was made.

Folk continually overlook the inescapable fact the septic lower end are as stupid as Russians and Thai.

As well as being a halfwit the idiot mother is probably an addict of some sort and her already diminished intellect by virtue of her nationality will have been further eroded thereby.

Still, she has a future as a Trump election volunteer.

She doesn't look too bright, but doesn't really look like an addict. Perhaps 'baby brain' ?

Obvious fault of the oven manufacturer. There was no warning sign on it not to put babys in there.

It being America, she probably will sue.

I'm sorry, call be unimaginative, but I don't get this. Are ovens different in the US? I mean, you lower a baby into a crib, how do you lower anything into an oven? I can't recall cribs having temperature knobs or heating settings either.

Putting a baby in a top loading washing machine, I could just about understand, but no way an oven!

Not unless she put the baby in the oven and a chicken in the crib...

Some sort of mental illness, perhaps ? That is the only kind of explanation I can grasp at to explain human behaviour sometimes, especially by certain (unnamed here) posters on this forum.

Friend Says Mom Who Baked Baby to Death Had Mental Illness


The Missouri mother who told police she accidentally baked her baby to death had suffered from mental illness for years, a longtime friend told The Daily Beast on Sunday.


Mariah Thomas, 26, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child and could face a decade or more in prison in connection with the death of 1-month-old daughter Za’Riah.


According to a police affidavit, Thomas told her parents—who were not home at the time—that she went to put the infant down for a nap and mistakenly put her in the oven instead of the crib.


Responding officers found the baby covered in “thermal” burns, her onesie melted into her diaper.


It was not immediately clear if authorities accepted Thomas’ explanation for the death of her child, and her family did not respond to requests for comment. Authorities did not release any details about Thomas’ mental health history.


A close friend, who asked not to be identified amid an outpouring of vitriol against Thomas and her family on social media, does not believe she purposefully killed the child.


“Mariah has been dealing with mental illnesses since a child,” the friend said, adding that Thomas told her she stopped taking medication for her conditions while pregnant.

The friend said she asked if Thomas started taking her medication again after the baby was born.


“She said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘But you not pregnant no more.’ And that’s when she laughed, and I said that’s not funny,” she said.


Thomas’ mental health deteriorated further after she gave birth, the friend said, pointing to posts Thomas made on Facebook and TikTok in which she claimed that people only cared about her because she had a baby.


“I’m done being fucking nice,” Thomas wrote on Jan. 15. “Like I said before y’all only fucking with me cause of my daughter & I said what I said.”


Throughout the month, Thomas posted multiple times about feeling lonely or that she had no friends.


“She thought everyone only likes her because her daughter was born, and she didn’t like that at all,” the friend said. “She wanted everyone’s attention, too, just like Za’Riah was getting attention.”


She said Thomas—who also posted about the joy of being a mother—really loved her baby and would never want to harm her. “I know Mariah didn’t do it on purpose,” the friend said.

Thomas lived with her parents, but her mother went to work on Friday and her father went out to look for work, leaving her alone with Za’Riah. Hours later, Thomas called her mother in hysterics to say something was wrong with the baby.


Police were summoned and were told that she had told her father, “I thought I put Za'riah in the crib but I accidentally put her in the oven.”


The friend said she could not believe it when she heard the news.


“She didn’t mean to hurt her baby,” she said. “She loved her baby dearly.”

Sad story that is.

Any person diagnosed with serious mental issues should be forcibly sterilised or vasectomised in order to prevent the awful child abuse that is becoming more and more common in our broken societies these days.

Some people are just not fit to reproduce.

If some one witnessed the mother putting the child down for a nap then why was she allowed to put the baby in the oven?

^ Probably a witness at the scene later, who knew the mother was a bit unstable or absent-minded.

or someone talking shite like you do…

^ In post # 7, I spotted her mental illness correctly, as I did with your autism / ADHD a long time ago. Or are you simply a psychopath ?
