-Mariah Thomas-
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A mother has been charged for allegedly placing a 1-
month-old baby in an oven, leading to the child's death.
The woman told family members she accidentally placed the infant in the
oven rather than her crib, according to court documents.
Mariah Thomas is charged with endangering the welfare of a child in the
first degree, leading to the death of a child, a class A felony.
"We appreciate all first responders who worked this scene and the
prosecutors who went to the scene in order to issue these charges,"
Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a written statement.
"We acknowledge the gruesome nature of this tragedy and our hearts are
weighted by the loss of this precious life. We trust the criminal justice
system to respond appropriately to these awful circumstances."
Officers with the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department responded to a
home in the 4100 block of Forest Avenue on a report of an infant not
breathing.
Police and EMS located an individual holding the 1-month-old baby, who was
unresponsive and had burn wounds on her body. The infant was declared
deceased at the scene.
The grandfather of the infant told KCPD detectives that he received a call
from Thomas around 1 p.m. Friday, who told him that "something was wrong
with the baby and that he needed to return home immediately," according to
court documents.
Once he returned home, the grandfather reported smelling smoke inside the
residence and allegedly found the infant deceased inside of her crib.
He told detectives that Thomas told him that she thought she put the child
in her crib but "accidentally put her in the oven," per court records.
The grandmother of the infant reported that she received a similar phone
call around 1 p.m. from Thomas, who yelled "hysterically" on the phone.
Thomas and the infant lived with her parents at the residence.
Thomas was taken into custody and reportedly consented for detectives to
access her phone data and obtain a blood draw.
Those found guilty of a class A felony are subject to a prison sentence of
10-30 years.
