A Missouri mom has been accused of baking her newborn daughter to death in an oven after allegedly mistaking it for a crib.
Mariah Thomas, 26, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child after one-month-old Za’Riah Mae was found dead with 'burn wounds', according to an arrest warrant.
Cops were called to the mom's Kansas City home to reports of a child not breathing on Friday- the day after Thomas' birthday.
When they arrived, they found the infant covered in burns, with her 'blackened' clothing melted onto her diaper.
A devastated friend of Thomas' told DailyMail.com that Za'Riah was a 'very bubbly' baby, who was 'smiling all the time'. She also suggested Thomas' mental health may have played a role in the tragedy.
'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.
Za'Riah's grandfather told police he received a call from her mom at around 1pm on Friday in which she told him 'something was wrong with the baby and he needed to return home immediately'.
On returning home immediately began to smell smoke and found Za'Riah dead in her crib.
Thomas told him she had 'accidentally' put her in the oven, according to court filings.
Za'Riah was discovered by police in a car seat inside her home with 'apparent thermal injuries on various parts of a her body'.

Considering her mental state, she probably spread her legs for every dirtbag out there. DNA test all the black males from 12 to 60 to find out who was the sperm donor.
And you have worked for how many years with the dual mentally ill/mentally retarded??
That’s my guess too. The very FIRST thing should have been to test her for drugs on the way to jail.
Exactly. She's faking it.
Unlikely ... I doubt that this individual knows what Hamas and Israel are.
“Mariah Thomas, 26, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child “
ENDANGERING??
Ummmm, she had to also TURN IT ON!
400?, 450?, or BROIL?
Really? It helped me focus and become a successful multi-tasker ending up valedictorian - but I defer to your wisdom. Legal alcohol became an actual problem. Needing to get away from the perpetual dirge stories at AA meetings applied the brakes more than their philosophy. But hey...free coffee.
Back to subject - this reminded me of the tale about a hippie couple stoned out of their minds on LSD found poking their cooked baby with forks to see if it was done yet. Does anyone know if that was true or just made up to scare us?
“Unlikely ... I doubt that this individual knows what Hamas and Israel are.”
Perhaps, but other than Nazis and Palestinians, how many babies burned in ovens have you heard about?
I’m not convinced this individual knows what a Nazi is, either.
That said, I think I know what was going on, here.
All that stuff about a “bubbly baby” is probably nonsense ... she was probably an annoyingly loud, colicky baby, and this “left side of the bell curve” woman came up with a “final solution” to the problem. And she probably has no idea that the phrase “final solution” has a sordid history ...
True...She’s a Trainwreck...I hope she’ll get help.
Nobody’s advocating alcohol or LSD.
“Magic Mushrooms” must be OK, as at least one state allows “prescriptions” of them.
I knew a family that adopted a child. Turns out that she was mentally disabled, mind of a child, etc. She lit a fire in her bedroom that luckily set off the smoke alarms before it got too big.
She ended up getting pregnant by her boyfriend (also mental iirc). IIRC they moved into a group home of some sort.
I left out “spontaneous abortions”.
(Shouldn’t have forgotten, as my wife’s friend’s doper-girlfriend had one. When I advised her of the likely cause, I never saw either again).
Marijuana must have had a tight hold on them...maybe they’d “moved up” to bath salts?
That was about 1988.
