MOTHER PUTS 3-MONTH OLD BABY IN CLOTHES DRYER

This just sickens me. I am a mother, and I cannot imagine doing this to a 3-month old child, let alone ANY CHILD. What the hell was this woman thinking? Or should I say girl? She is only 18 and already on her second kid! What does that say? I say if she is convicted give her the death penalty. I find it unfathomable to purposely harm an infant...especially your own flesh and blood. Where was this girl's parents? Where was the father of the child?

I'd like to see what her defense will be...post partum depression psychosis? Who knows...I'm hoping to find more information as this case progresses.

BOGALUSA, La. — A mother was booked on a charge of first-degree murder for allegedly placing her 3-month-old son in a clothes dryer and turning it on.

The infant had third-degree burns over 50 percent of his body and suffered blunt force trauma to the head, the St. Tammany Parish coroner said.

Police Sgt. Darryl Darden said Lakeisha Adams, 18, called police to her home on Monday to report that someone had killed her child. When officers arrived, they found Jailand Adams on a sofa. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Darden said Adams admitted during questioning to putting the infant in the dryer and turning it on, but did not say why. Adams also has a 1-year-old child who was placed in state custody, police said.

If convicted, Adams faces death by injection or a life sentence. The first-degree murder charge is mandatory under Louisiana law because the victim was under age 12.
