A Canadian man who could not figure out how to deal with his girlfriend's feverish 10-month-old daughter put the baby into a freezer to cool her down, a local newspaper reported on Friday.

Derrick Hardy faces charges of criminal negligence and assaulting the infant, who was rescued when her mother came home, the Charlottetown Guardian said.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said the mother found the girl crammed into the freezer alongside ice cubes and hamburger meat. Hardy said he had left the door ajar but the mother said it had been closed when she returned.

Undoubtedly due to the nearness of Ohio to Ontario.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — An infant girl who died in August 2005 of a high body temperature might have been put in a microwave, and her mother has been charged in the death, authorities said Tuesday.


Undoubtedly due to the nearness of Ontario to Ohio.

Wow......

That is all.

Holy shit, she got the Han Solo carbonite treatment! Was the girl blind too when Leia, I mean her mom, thawed her out?

SMITE to Krydor, for being a Canadian retard!

[Krydor]

Well, what's that old saying? Freeze a fever, nuke a cold?

And a smite for Loki, because, well, he smited me first and two wrongs make a right. Therefore, someone owes me a karma.

You know, if he had left the door open I might understand the logic.

But closing the door and walking away? That's just careless. Stupid bastard.

I wonder about the wording. Was he crammed in among the ice cubes or were they all just in the freezer? Did he close the door because he was trying to keep the hamburger meat? Its just chopmeat. Was this a full freezer, a side freezer, or one of those little ones on the top of the fridge? Because I could understand the cramming thing more then. And closing the door. Harder to keep that one cold.

I don't know why he didn't just put the baby in the produce draw in the fridge. How high WAS the fever? That would have been my first try. At least presuming I went the whole freezer/fridge route.

EDIT: But you have to read the whole article.

He then carried the girl outside into the night air but, frustrated that this also did not work and worried she might drown if placed in a cold bath, he put the baby into the kitchen freezer. She was wearing only an undershirt.

See? Guy was thinking. He didn't want the baby to drown. He's not a bad guy. Just really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, stupid. You shouldn't get jailed for stupid. You should get something and kept away from kids. But you got feel for that a little. I mean... I probably would have followed the same 1st 2 steps myself and then probably got equally stumped on the whole drowning thing.

Now Microwave Mom? I got nothing.

As the father of an 18 month old, I have to admit, that I can understand where this guy was coming from. Going through bad ear infections, teething, bumps to the head, etc., it's gut wrenching to hear your baby screaming in pain. A few months ago when Anna was learning to walk, she fell down in the bathroom while I was getting her bath ready and hit her head on the corner of the vanity. It put a nice long scrape down her forehead. The thing is, I think I was more scared than she was. I was afraid I had scarred my kid for life and given her brain damage. I may be giving you guys more ammunition, but I cried right along with her.

What you guys without kids don't understand is that when your child is hurting, you consider anything that might help. The same type of things may have crossed my mind for a split second, but the difference is, I know better. I admit he was really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, stupid and he should be punished, but I could see his rationale.

And the lady with the kid in the microwave? I got nothing there either.

I'm just glad you fuckers weren't talking about me...

Juts in case Moose is feeling left out, an Aunt Of The Year story from his neck of the woods:

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. - A suburban Detroit woman who admitted injecting heroin into her 12-year-old nephew and giving him and her 15-year-old niece heroin and cocaine was sentenced to eight years in prison.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Isn't that standard fare for Michigan though?

[Krydor]

What a stupid woman. Kids that young cannot support such an expensive habit. They are barely old enough to turn tricks.

You've obviously never been to Thailand.

[Krydor]

I have no idea what you do in your basement.

Bada Bing!
