Man charged with burning baby in microwave in Galveston
Houston Chronicle ^ | May 16, 2007

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

Joshua Mauldin of Arkansas was in the Galveston County jail early today. Mauldin, whose bond is set at $250,000, is set to go before a grand jury today.

He faces a charge of injury to a child, causing serious bodily harm. The charge carries a possible prison term of five to 99 years, as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

At Shriners Burns Hospital on Tuesday, doctors treated third-degree burns the infant suffered to the left side of her face and left hand.

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.

How depraved.

How on earth could he get a baby in a microwave, though?

Put him the microwave with a bag of popcorn and don't take him out till it's done.

This is the kind of guy that simply needs to be taken out back and shot.  I wouldn't waste a dime on a trial.

It does, sadly it may kill the child from internal burns, so sad and so sick, this must be a person on meds for bi-polar or something.

Thankfully the human body is mostly water,15-20 seconds of exposure wouldn’t raise the baby’s internal temp.enough to cause permanent damage.The damage I’d cause to the father would be permanent however.

According to police reports, Mauldin told investigators God ordered him to go to Galveston.

Here is his 'defense'.

Hanging is waayyyyy too quick.

I’d help finance the construction of a microwave oven measuring, say, 7’-0” x 3’-0” x 3’-0” with only one setting: “Azzhole Reheat.”

Dear God, that poor baby. Mom and Grandma stepped out for a moment and this is how he cares for his daughter? Let’s hope he hasn’t done anything else bizarre while alone with her. I can’t get the disgusted look off my face. Ugh. Mom should rethink her relationship with the dad.
