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?
