Florida woman charged after putting baby in the oven

A Florida woman has been charged with aggravated assault after putting her baby in the oven and turning the appliance on. Sharlyn Singh allegedly put her 11-month old child in a heated oven after breaking up with the baby’s father.

A man was helping the baby’s father move out of the apartment when he heard the child crying. When he questioned Singh she fled the apartment. The man found the baby in the oven and called authorities. Police found Signh still in the apartment complex and she denied ever putting her child in the heated oven.

 

“The oven wasn’t terribly hot, but it was on,” said a police spokeswoman. The baby was not seriously hurt and was placed in custody of the Department of Children and Families.
