Thomas allegedly informed them that she had intended to put the infant down for a nap but mistakenly placed the child in the oven instead of the crib.
The Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office has charged Thomas with the Class A felony of Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the 1st Degree, Death of a Child.
Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker acknowledged the gruesome nature of the incident in a statement.
The charges suggest that Thomas’s actions, whether accidental or otherwise, led to the endangerment and subsequent death of her infant, warranting serious legal consequences.
