Episode 385: Mom Microwaved 2-Month-Old Baby For 5 Minutes While Having A Seizure
Grandma C knew that something wasn’t right about what she was looking at. Her daughter is standing there holding her 2 month old baby. But everything is wrong.
Her daughter’s pants are soaked. In urine.
The way she’s talking sounds like someone clamped her tongue. And 2 month old baby Mirabelle is not moving.
In fact, Mirabelle’s little face is bright angry red and her body seems stiff.
Grandma C rushes to put her down and unzips baby Mirabelle’s onesie…
She’s peeling. The skin on her entire body is peeling.
Mirabelle’s mom starts to explain that she must have suffered a stroke while holding her baby and fell on top of her… onto the space heater. Squashing her baby into the space heater and burning her.
But when authorities arrive - they start to think differently.
Because Mirabelle’s injuries are not consistent with someone who has been burned by a space heater. Also, why was her little purple pacifier found in the microwave?
