Into the oven with the heat on?

Uhh.. perhaps you didn't get the implication. In the scenario I laid out, she caused its death by head trauma and attempted to cover it up by making it appear that the baby was accidentally killed in the oven.

Yeah thats what I'd think if my child banged his head.

Not phone for the paramedics, or drive like a lunatic to the nearest hospital.

Put the oven on and hide him in there. That'll make everything OK.😵

No one thinks damage control makes it all OK, but she may have thought it better to make it appear to be one kind of accident (baby climbed in) vs. another (direct trauma). The scenario only makes sense if the baby was already dead and a hospital wasn't going to do much good.
 
I can see her being a good mother. It was probably an accident that caused the head trauma and death. The oven thing was just a cover-up by a not-so-bright person who was scared. Good mom's can have accidents and anyone can be stupid when they are in a panic and time-constrained.

no.

a good mother would be calling 911 or such trying to save the baby NOT putting it in oven trying to cover it up.

ALL parents have accidents. its how you handle those accidents that make you a good parent or a bad parent. putting the child in a oven to cover it up? that is a sign of a bad parent.
 
Is it possible for a kid to end up inside an oven with self inflicted head trauama? The thread hasn't given any specifics on the scene, but everyone is jumping to the conclusion that it must be the mom's fault.
 
WTF was she thinking that a head injury was like one of those nvidia tricks where you put a fault video card in the oven to resolder the chip?

fucking a! people are nutters today.
