Police Say Mother Microwaved Her Baby

A mother was arrested on suspicion of murdering her newborn daughter by putting the baby in a microwave oven.
China Arnold, 26, was jailed Monday on a charge of aggravated murder, more than a year after she brought her dead month-old baby to a hospital.
"We have reason to believe, and we have some forensic evidence that is consistent with our belief, that a microwave oven was used in this death," said Ken Betz, director of the Montgomery County coroner's office.
He said the evidence included high-heat internal injuries and the absence of external burn marks on the baby, Paris Talley.
Arnold was arrested soon after the baby's death in August 2005, then was released while authorities investigated further. Betz said the case was difficult because "there is not a lot of scientific research and data on the effect of microwaves on human beings."
The death was ruled a homicide caused by hyperthermia, or high body temperature. The absence of external burns ruled out an open flame, scalding water or a heating pad as the cause, Betz said.
Arnold's lawyer, Jon Paul Rion, said his client had nothing to do with her child's death and was stunned when investigators told her that a microwave might have been involved.
"China _ as a mother and a person _ was horrified that such an act could occur," Rion said.
The night before the baby was taken to the hospital, Arnold and the child's father went out for a short time and left Paris with a baby sitter, Rion said. The mother didn't sense anything out of the ordinary until the next morning, when the child was found unconscious, Rion said.
Arnold has three other children.
In 2000, a Virginia woman was sentenced to five years in prison for killing her month-old son in a microwave oven. Elizabeth Renee Otte claimed she had no memory of cramming her son in the microwave and turning on the appliance in 1999. Experts said that Otte suffered from epilepsy and that her seizures were followed by blackouts.

RE: Our society in decline
I apologize before hand if this offends anyone...
In all honesty Post Partum depression is a major problem for some people.... I don't think what they did was right but I'm sure it's happened before... However, depression is a HUGE problem and is becoming more so for some reason.... Call it the darwin theory (or whatever you like).... the rate of attempted suicide vs. commited suicide is changing. Modern medicine is making it possible for people to do something really bad and survive and after that a lot of times they learn a very valuable lesson the hard way. However, I believe that depression can be a chemical problem passed on to children just like bad eyesight and since people with depression are finding their way past it until we start educating everyone on how to spot it and work with it there will be a problem....
Imagine if only 1 in 10 people who have horrible eye sight got glasses. Now 9 out of 10 people with a problem are driving around the highways trying to tell themselves everything is ok and it's normal and then getting into car accidents and harming other people because they don't know they have a problem and some people are telling them that the problem doesn't exist.
