Dad Burns Baby In Microwave

Quote:
GALVESTON, Texas -- A 19-year-old has been charged with injury to a child after police said his 2-month-old daughter was burned when he placed her in a microwave.

Joshua Mauldin, of Arkansas, has been charged with injury to a child causing serious harm. He is in the Galveston County jail with bond set at $250,000.

At Shriners Burns Hospital on Tuesday, doctors treated internal injuries and third-degree burns the infant suffered to the left side of her face and left hand. She is listed in critical condition.

Maudlin arrived at a Galveston hotel last week along with the baby, his wife and mother. He called 911 on Thursday, saying that his baby had been burned in the hotel room when he tripped while carrying a pot of hot water to make coffee.

But police Sgt. Annie Almendarez said investigators later decided the child's injuries were not consistent with that story. She said investigators believe the child was in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.

"I've been doing this for a lot of years and it actually brought tears to my eyes," Almendarez said. "I'm sitting there looking at the pictures and I'm sitting there looking at him and there's nothing I could really do about it but just keep my composure and go on."

Detectives said Mauldin later confessed to putting his daughter in the microwave and said he was frustrated by the demands of caring for her.

At the time the child was injured, her mother and Mauldin's mother were picking up dinner at a nearby restaurant.

According to police reports, Mauldin told investigators God ordered him to go to Galveston to look for work as a minister.

If convicted, Mauldin could receive a prison term of five to 99 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

I'm so freaking angry over this that I'm lost for words...........
There is BUT one form of justice for this act, and that is to put this total freaking SOB into a microwave and toast him until he pops like a bag of popcorn.

Well at least the crime occurred in Texas where he will likely get a severe punishment.
If it was committed in the northeast he would have MABYE got 10 years, and been out in 3.

Yes, at least in Texas he'll get "somewhat" of what he deserves........Nothing against Texas mind you, it's just that this bastard needs to die SLOWLY !!!
I hope like hell that this SOB gets messed up in prison.

Re: Dad Burns Baby In Microwave

Somebody should burn him in a microwave. I suppose they's have to construct a big one that he would fit in. That would cost taxpayer money. Just put him in a prison laundry machine and set it to "whites-hot".

I'll have to second that.

Someone that can do some shit like that ... jesus, send 'em to the moon without a space suit. That's outlandish.

Some people don't need to "be" at ALL.

What is interesting is how we seem to be seeing MORE of these kinds of stories. Are degenerate sick, diseased thinking people becoming more common ?

Or, is the media TELLING us more about it to generate our support for bigger govt. and more laws ? More laws to protect us stupid sheep from ourselves and each other.

People make me sick sometimes.

Re: Dad Burns Baby In Microwave

What this guy did was horrible, but the comments on how he should die slow and painful are a bit irrational. Best thing to do under our current system, let the right inmates know what he did and he'll get shivved the first time he goes to the showers.

Very true.

Interesting isn't it ? How REAL justice often happens in places where we put our most dangerous members.

Re: Dad Burns Baby In Microwave

That's why you only put them in for about 5 seconds. Doesn't burn them, but it still shows 'em who's boss.

You don't put babies in microwaves.

Y'know what you put in a microwave ?

...... nevermind I wouldn't even put them in a microwave.

A lead brick chained to their foot and thrown off a boat over the Mariana

trench would be about right

Re: Dad Burns Baby In Microwave

I just don't understand. I really don't.

My son has some health issues and has only slept through the night maybe 15 or 20 times, since birth. He is 14 months old now. I would be frustrated with him, because he's sick and not sleeping, but I can not even imagine doing something like this.

I'd imagine the microwave would probably just wake him up more.

Nah even in Texas they won't give him too long, probably end up giving him a mental evaluation and he'll plead insanity and be put in a hospital for about 2 to 5.

Let the man who has no sin on his conscience throw the first stone. I mean, it's not that this man should go without punishment. But the people who will decide of his punishment are professionals; they can do errors, but overall I trust them to do what is right. While asking for him to be burnt in a specially built giant microwave sounds very angry-mob-chasing-the-monsterish.

Re: Dad Burns Baby In Microwave

A horrible situation; one which I hope lands this fucker in prison for a very, very long time.

Still, the question remains: How the fuck do you fit a kid in a microwave? I've got a good size microwave, but I don't think I could fit a kid in there without a Helluva' lot of effort...
