    If I had to guess, the mother had to have been high on something. How the hell does someone mistake an oven for a crib?

      Love how people always jump straight to drugs, but there’s a variety of mental illnesses both permanent and temporary that could cause a mother to do this.

          What quick conclusion should people arrive at in your opinion

          I’d wait for relevant information before arriving at a conclusion, but that’s just me.

          People should stop being dumb af and wait until we have all of the information, but this is also on journalism too since there’s so much emphasis on “if it bleeds it leads” and other reasons to pump out an incomplete story, they should emphasize on accuracy instead and make a bigger deal out of retractions and corrections, especially in this age of disinformation and propaganda.

              My reaction is “how fucking awful” and this would be my reaction regardless of how the baby came to be in the oven. What other reaction do you expect people to have? Why are you seemingly equating waiting to be properly informed with not caring about the subject?

              We’re on a comment thread on Lemmy, we’re not involved in investigating this case. I don’t see why we’d be “poking” around.

              Like the other commenter I think “how fucking awful” then read the story, then wait for more details when the details are lacking.

              Again, in this age of disinformation and propaganda you have to exercise some discipline and critical thinking, and not jump to conclusions, also this is the real world, and people in the real world need to gain some discipline and critical thinking abilities, because it seems far too few of us have those abilities. I mean ffs we could find out tomorrow that this whole thing was an AI generated article that didn’t really happen, just like how the recent “toothbrush botnet hack” story that went viral this week was fake.

              Being snoopy so you can feed something inside of you is silly at best. If that’s all you’re after go read a mystery novel.

              Are you the lead investigator on this? Please do let us know what you find since you actually have access to the necessary evidence.

              Otherwise, tf are you on about?

          What quick conclusion should people arrive at in your opinion

          You make a great counter example of what not to do. So, none, they shouldn’t be making a quick conclusion on a complex topic. Like the above comment…

          How about no quick conclusion?

          I have never in my life heard of roasting a baby outside Hansel and Gretel.

          I have, however, heard about a LOT of drug use.

          That would suggest we have an extremely complex situation here with no “quick” answer.

          I would guess this one is mostly sleep depervation and poor diet.

          Tuna casseroles are cheap, but they are not very nourishing. But that only begins to explain this one.

            Happened locally. The mother claimed it was accidental and that is exactly how the story read but after a police investigation it turned out it was intentional but the mother changed her mind a little too late.

              Which absolutely sounds like textbook post partum depression going too far.

                I think that might have been the reason, it was about 5 years ago.

              Sounds about right to me.

              Also sounds like psychosis that you can’t blame on a drug.

              Runs deeper than that.

          My first question would be why was the crib near the stove?

            Why do people keep assuming the crib would be in the kitchen? Or that a crib is the only place we put babies? There’s basinets, bounce chairs, high chairs, play pens, strollers, car seats, and all kinds of other things where a parent can put a baby while they do things around the house, like cooking and cleaning in the kitchen.

      This is how you tell people you have never been severely sleep deprived without telling people you’ve never been severely sleep deprived.

      Maybe she swapped the two putting the roast in the crib.

      You could guess a multitude of things. My money is sleep deprivation. A lack of sleep can really fuck some people up. Different people have different tolerances for it.
