Was it really an accident?
At least that’s what Mariah Thomas (26) from Kansas City (USA) claims. She didn’t put her month-old baby in his crib to sleep – but in the oven!
The horror is clear in the court documents. It appears that the baby’s grandmother received a call around 1 p.m. on Friday from Mariah, who hysterically said that she had put the little girl “in the oven instead of the crib,” reports “ NBC News“.
Responding first responders “observed obvious burns on the victim’s body,” an investigator said in the probable cause statement. Little Za’Riah Mae was pronounced dead at the scene.

Officers who then investigated found the toddler in a car seat in the living room with “thermal injuries to various parts of the body.” In plain language: burns everywhere. The child’s clothing was fused to the diaper, and they also found a baby blanket with burn marks, the documents say.
Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement. “We trust that the criminal justice system will respond appropriately to these terrible circumstances.”
It was not yet clear on Sunday whether the mother had hired a lawyer. If found guilty, she might face 10 years to life in prison.
