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?
This 19 year old is a lost cause. Kill him.
Not going to read further than the headline.
Hang him.
Strap him to a big Navy radar dish with the waveguide up his--
Prayers for the child. Microwave the father.
Kill this sick POS (painfully), he is a threat to society
and cannot be salvaged.
Gotta have a license to drive a car or a special card to borrow a library book.
that is really scary, doesn’t the microwave cook from the inside out?
some folks just need killin’
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.
Here is his 'defense'.
This evil animal should be put down just like any other sick animal.
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.”
Tie him to a tree, bullwhip him and then hang him!
Yeah. We cannot have a baby, but someone like this can...
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.
