Puddy Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Father charged with burning baby in microwave By Reuters Friday May 18, 03:11 PM HOUSTON (Reuters) - A teenage father has been indicted in Texas on charges he burned his 2-month-old daughter in a hotel microwave oven, a prosecutor said on Thursday. Joshua Mauldin, 19, who was visiting Galveston, Texas, from Arkansas with family members, was indicted by a grand jury on one charge of felony injury to a child, said Assistant District Attorney Xochitl Vandiver. The charge carries a prison sentence of five to 99 years, Vandiver said. Mauldin was being held in the county jail in Galveston, on $250,000 bond, a jail spokesman said. The baby girl was hospitalized with burns on her face and one hand, according to television and newspaper reports. "Her injuries are pretty significant," said Vandiver, who prosecutes child-abuse charges. She called the case, "unusual and horrific. I've never seen anything like it." Mauldin initially told police the baby was burned when he stumbled and spilled hot water on her, according to the Houston Chronicle. Later, he said he placed the baby into the microwave oven because he was under stress, the newspaper said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance we can bring back the gallows for guys like this? There is no rehabilitation for this, there is only retribution. This should be a capital crime, without question, without appeal and without delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8tank Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That kids brains are SCRAMBLED. This does happen from time to time however, I have read about it before. Kid was stressin, some liberal judge will give him 90 days and some counseling. I think we need to being back the noose for crimes against children. If you could hang a guy for stealing a horse, why nor for nukin or rapin a child? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Memo to dipcrack: Next time you're that "stressed", just do everyone a favor and put a gun to your head. Guessing the kid is better off being a fatherless child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
