Woman accused of putting baby in microwave

but what is on her ipod?

"Disco Inferno" by The Trammps.

I'm sorry, that was a terrible joke.

I was going to say "City Baby's Revenge" by GBH even though this whole thing is incredibly horrifying to me.

Huh, wierd. I remember when this happened and swore they said the mother had some form of epilepsy where you get really disoriented and have a seizure that manifests itself in a blackout. When she came to, she couldn't find the kid. I don't know though, I guess that could have been some other dumb asshole who microwaved her kid.

I have to wonder how common this is...? I mean, it seems really fucking unlikely that you would accidentally microwave your baby but if this woman was really that drunk, maybe she fixed the bottle but put the baby in the microwave by accident? (This does make me wonder why she didn't notice the bottle screaming in the microwave, though. UGH.)

Yeah, I know.

Wait - it was another lady:

In 2000, a Virginia woman was sentenced to five years in prison for killing her month-old son in a microwave oven. Elizabeth Renee Otte claimed she had no memory of cramming her son in the microwave and turning on the appliance in 1999. Experts said that Otte suffered from epilepsy and that her seizures were followed by blackouts.

Her defense was that the epilepsy cause exactly what you described above - the bottle/baby confusion.

The very idea of it is just so so horrible. *shudders*

That is the most disturbing use of of the word "cramming" I've ever seen.

It's like the writer just said, "Fuck impartiality; bitch microwaved her baby!" and went searching for the most unsettling synonym in the thesaurus.

it's the next level up from placenta recipes

Ha, exactly - "cramming" totally made me wince even more than I already was while reading that paragraph.

Bitch microwaved her baby is really all that can be said in the end, I think.

do they really make microwaves big enough to fit a baby into...?

dont get any ideas, shakey

oh man

Too gross.

lol gremlins

A friend of mine works as a clinical psychologist and one of her patients is essentially in a mental home for life after putting her baby in the oven. She said the strangest thing is this woman is so childlike herself that you can have these weirdly affable conversations with her while knowing full well what a terrible thing she's done. I suppose that's kind of her job though.

I can't even read shit like this anymore now that I'm a parent. When I do, I feel sick for the rest of the day.

Yeah, thinking about having kids means that stories like this frighten the shit out of me.

My clinical psychologist friend's favorite patient is a schizophrenic who murdered his mother with an axe. He was found by the police eating her brains while naked. Craziest (hahaha) part? He's in a minimum security psych hospital and can come and go daily. Also, he has a job in a shop. I guess he's ok now while medicated but still.

x-post to MDC

Also, exactly what Dan just said.

mike a otm

well a man only has one mother

xp

This is one of the worst things I've ever heard in my life. All for a bottle of booze. I hope this woman's death is slow and painful.

I can't even read shit like this anymore now that I'm a parent. When I do, I feel sick for the rest of the day.

^^^ This. I was floored when I read the story this morning. Words fail.

Well Miss Prism got away with it...

jesus, magill

fuck this thread imo

"jesus christ"

i think they put him in a crib, dan.

but yeah:

"I can't even read shit like this anymore now that I'm a parent. When I do, I feel sick for the rest of the day."

Bill Magill = same person where on some old thread I said he did a good impression of someone's blowhard uncle watching Fox News?

^ Perfect!

Belloto said Arnold told him she had consumed about 40 percent of a pint of high-proof rum in 90 minutes.

Microwaving yr kid after just that? Whatta lightweight.

Huh, wierd. I remember when this happened and swore they said the mother had some form of epilepsy where you get really disoriented and have a seizure that manifests itself in a blackout.

Well, this is only anecdotal, but a friend with epilepsy starting punching a taxi driver in the head and screaming at him while having a fit/blackout in the back of his cab. She doesn't remember anything about it. This was at four PM, sober and feeling fine until it happened. She has no history of violence and wouldn't hurt a fly ordinarily. She can't drink alcohol because that makes her fit, (no beer goggle jokes plz, lol)
and will never be able to drive. So it is possible this woman had no control over her actions, although drinking if you suffer from epilepsy while looking after a baby is obviously a bad idea...

The epileptic who microwaved her baby and the drunk who microwaved her baby were two different ladies! I do know that a person can do strange things while having an epileptic episode and didn't mean to make light of that but there was speculation about whether that particular woman had actually had one or if that was just her defence.

lol, my bad.

did she poke holes in it first

omg

get out!
