Attorneys in Kansas say 27-year-old Aron Pritchard, was punishing his girlfriend's children when he stuffed them in a clothes dryer and turned it on.
The three-year-old boy, and his two-year-old sister, were allegedly jammed into the dryer after the boy urinated in his pants.
The girl was uninjured, but the boy suffered second degree burns that went untreated for more than a week.
Ardy Wuthnow, Children's grandfather, said, "It's heartbreaking. I've seen him now, since all this has taken place and there's permanent scars."
The children's mother left their father when he returned from military service in Iraq. The biological father has fought for custody for months, the children are now in his care.
The mother's boyfriend has been charged with a felony count of child endangerment and another of aggravated endangerment of a child.
Family members said there was a history of abuse.
Wuthnow said, "We've had a lot of reports of abuse before, but nothing was done."
If found guilty, he could face 11 years in prison.
A week before the alleged incident, police arrested Pritchard for climbing on a grain elevator while intoxicated and throwing things at the police officers.

As for this crime, it's happened before (once knew a victim in foster care) and it'll happen again and the perp should be sent directly to hell.
And it's always mama's boyfriend.
Geez, I don't care if these women sleep with every guy in town - JUST DON'T LET THEM AROUND YOUR KIDS, DUMBA$$!
The problem here and in many other cases like this one is that the perpetrator of such cruelties, never has to suffer the punishments that most of us in society want him to suffer. Instead, he is a)fined, b)remanded to couseling, c)sentenced to public service (what a joke!), d)sentenced to a few months in jail, or e)given probation for a year or two. What this fellow needs is a good, down home beating from men who remember the difference between actual men and their dirtbag impersonators!
I will never understand these women who let boyfriends treat their children so badly. Why didn't she just let the father have them. Of course its the child support money... I hope they both rot in jail but our wonderful system won't let that happen. She will get visiting rights too. Shaking my head here. Prayers for the 2 children ad their father.
My younger brother once went for a ride in a commercial dryer wearing a motorcycle helmet and football pads. Man was it loud, Dad beat us like rented mules when he got home. We did so much crazy sh!t as kids it'e a wonder we survived. He was about 12 at the time and wanted to go to astronaut training. It was the closest thing we could come up with.
To this day when I hear sneakers in the dryer I think of him.
I guess that's what it takes for most fathers to get their kids anymore.
Sounds like something my kids would do. Sometimes I am absolutely speechless with what they come up with.
I would like to know why in the heck she was granted custody to begin with? If the court had done its job, this never would have happened.
Happens a lot unfortunately. With a military dad, the courts especially rule in favor of the mom because of deployments. The mom would have to be doing crack in court not to get full custody.
