A similar incident was reported earlier this year after a Kansas City mother placed her child inside an oven in February.
Investigators were told that the 26-year-old mother, Mariah Thomas, went to put her infant down for a nap and accidentally put her in the oven instead of the crib.
“I thought I put (redacted) in her crib and I accidentally put her in the oven,” she allegedly told a witness at the scene.
She pleaded not guilty during a court appearance in March this year.
