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.
