Microwave Baby
One of the most hideous crimes imaginable is the physical abuse of a helpless infant. However, over the last few years, a nightmare which was formerly only an urban legend involving a drug-addled babysitter, has become a repulsive reality. In several cases stemming as far back as 1999, parents or other caregivers have attempted to microwave their children. In some cases, this has caused the children to suffer extreme burns; in others, the children were killed.
