If your crib has a temperature knob on it, maybe you should stop and think for a moment before putting your baby into it.

My other thought is, why was the oven on? Did she just leave it going all the time? Sounds pretty unlikely.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

“Culture”? Umm...no.

“Culture”? Umm...YES!

Just look at the facts & statistics for actual reality.

'Mariah had mental issues from what I know and didn’t have the mindset of a adult, she thought like a child,' the friend said, adding she last talked to the mom on Monday.

Even a child knows the difference.

I find it hard to believe it was a *mistake*.

[metmom]

Me either.

[southernindymom]

EXACTLY

[Jonty30]

Mind of a child, combined with a possible low IQ.

[Ann Archy]

Amen!

[Does so]

“The doctors cited reports of “school children intoxicated with fentanyl when using marijuana,” highlighting how even small amounts of the drug can easily kill minors.”

Even better than the most powerful Marijuana.

Reports of this danger are allied with “Killer Weed” movies!

[Chickensoup]

Some delusional mentally ill are so preoccupied with audio and visual hallucinations that they cannot see or hear clearly the real stimuli around them.

That this woman was permitted to take a child home is the failure of the law. That she is not spayed and locked in a facility for the rest of her life is another failure of the law.

Thank a lawyer and a judge

[silverleaf]

Yea, no.
She had enough candle power in her dim brain to come up with an alibi for her act. Shut up dem baby crying for sure.

[newfreep]

Thanks AA - so many Freepers are afraid or lack the courage to state the obvious.

This is a connected comment.

Maybe 12 years ago we drove from our home in S Indiana to go visit the oldest daughter who lived with her husband and our baby grandboy near Dallas for his work. So we took a short cut and drove through the backcountry of Missouri near Mark Twain National Forest (if I recall).

I have never before or since seen such poverty in my life including Eastern Ky. The people were quite a bit different than this story in that they were poor, white and very country. I saw families in single wides that were probably in poor condition 40 years ago, and had just gotten worse. I mean siding missing, insulation and weathered 2x4 frame poking through like bones from a rotting whale. Front yards bare dirt where so many kids feet had walked on them countless steps, pit Bull mixes chained up, concrete blocks under the cars and wheels under the trailers. Trash littering the trailers in a semi circle centered on the front doors missing their screens on out to the scraggly woods most of them were situated near. Such totally different cultures, backgrounds etc. but shockingly poor.

Yes the poverty in Missouri is not to be underestimated, at least in isolated pockets.

Post partum insanity?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Inspired by the Hamas attack on Israel?

[null and void]

Agreed.

[null and void]

it’s just some rite of passage. On the contrary, it can easily get these kids killed

That is a rite of passage, a passage from life to death...

[null and void]

She does look bright enough to make that mistake, doesn’t she?

[yldstrk]

Even if you pretend that one could mistake an oven for a crib, outside “Hansel and Gretel,” how does this happen?
I wouldn’t put a baby into a crib that was set at 350 degrees.
I’ve put babies down many hundreds of times, and never once would I have failed to notice a crib temperature that high.
This was murder.
*****
Yes.

[A_perfect_lady]

I have a hard time believing that anybody could be distracted enough to put a baby in the oven, believing it to be something else.

She also had to turn the oven ON.
