So he not only tried to cook her, he also attacked her before hand. And his wife is such a moron that she wants him back and the baby back. DO NOT GIVE THE BABY BACK TO THEM. I am convinced if they all 3 get to be a family again he will kill mother and baby. This is not to be taken lightly by her. If my husband hade done this to my child I would be the one in jail, not him because I would have killed him. it never should have come to this point, he was abusive, she knew this, she should have stayed away. But she loves him.

Nancy Grace is giving this tragic case full coverage tonight on her program. It is a miracle that this precious little 2-month old baby is still alive but she is going to be permanently disfigured and will need more surgeries. I don't care if he says "the devil made him do it" ~ actually that is true since it certainly wasn't God instructing him to abuse and almost kill her. Both Mauldin and his wife should be charged to the full extent of the law ~ attempted murder and accessory to attempted murder, imo. And the baby should be placed in a loving home far from these two monsters.

The one question that always comes to mind when I hear a story of a parent that harms or kills their child because "God told them to" is why doesn't God ever tell them to kill themselves?

Trial date set for man who microwaved baby

By Scott E. Williams
The Daily News
Published June 18, 2007
GALVESTON — One fewer obstacle stands between an Arkansas man and his trial on charges he burned his infant daughter in a microwave oven.

Joshua Mauldin faces a charge of injury to a child causing serious bodily harm. After attorneys conferred Monday, the 212th State District Court set a trial date of Nov. 5.

Mauldin’s 2-month-old daughter, Ana, has been in the care of foster parents since late last month, when she was released from Shriners Burns Hospital in Galveston. She had been in the hospital since May 10, recovering from third-degree burns to her face and left arm.

Joshua and Eva Mauldin brought their daughter to a Seawall Boulevard hotel from Warren, Ark. Joshua Mauldin has said God called him to minister in Galveston.

Mauldin ultimately told police he put the child in the hotel room’s microwave oven and turned it on.

State District Judge Susan Criss, presiding over the case, had scheduled a competency hearing for next month for attorneys to argue the findings of Dr. Victor Scarano.

Criss appointed Scarano, a forensic psychiatrist, to examine Mauldin to determine whether he was competent to stand trial. Scarano reported that Mauldin understood what was going on around him and had enough mental acumen to aid his own defense.

Defense attorney Elisa Vasquez Monday morning had no objection to Scarano’s findings so the hearing became unnecessary.

The charge carries a prison term of five to 99 years.

Lawyer: Microwave baby's dad had interrogation room sex

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/5606942.html

The mom must have dumped him, he myspace says she is in love with Alfredo

"This is just another attempt to demonize him," says the lawyer, no he did a good job of that when he tried to cook his baby.

Cammack said he would probably withdraw his objection to the showing of a video re-enactment by Mauldin with a teddy bear of the events leading to the baby being placed in the microwave oven.
"In a way it supports our case," he said, because the video shows a moment of lucidity that can be compared with the period of insanity at the time of the alleged incident.

i read this to say the guy acted normal on tape and not crazy at all while he re-enacted the crime. then the defence attorney says that is a good thing because it will show the difference between how he when crazy even though we dont have that behavior on tape. hell i guess when this guy is your client you grasp at what straws you can.

My grandma was a Paranoid schizophrenic. On the outside she appeared sweet, lovable and the best person ever. She wrote poems about me and called me her little JellyBean. She was snuggly and always approachable. However, to my father she could be cruel and just plain out of her mind. She swore there where conspiracies with her and the gov't or aliens. She would get pregnant and lift heavy objects to have miscarriages. She even told my father that she tried to kill him like that but failed. She would also make my father talk to the people in the vents and once spent a whole day letting my father believe his dad had died and would never come home. When he did come home she told him he was lying and she never said that.

On the outside....grandma who gives wet kisses and makes good cookies.
On the inside......mother who is so ill she torments her children. Emotional abuse lasts forever.....

I also have a cousin who is Paranoid Schizophrenic and has Asbergers. That's a whole other ball of wax.

Mental illness is just that. A weird roller coaster ride with a blindfold on. You never know how they are going to act from one minute to the next and with who.

What? Don't everybody have sex in the interrogation room after putting their child in a microwave. The mom is not mentally ill, correct? So, what? She wanted to have sex with the man who burned her child? Just checking to see if I read that correctly. That new beau, Alfredo must be one lucky man.

i can completely understand what you are saying. what i can not understand is how acting sane proves you are insane at some other point. my husband's uncle is schizophrenic and i have seen the pain of his family as they deal with such a horrible illness. cancer we can understand because a doctor can run a test and say yes or no. we can even see the proof in the form of tumors. mental illness can be just as deadly but sometimes near impossible to see. i was speaking on this case alone. acting normal proves nothing. it does NOT prove he must have been insane when he committed the crime. some people abuse their kids because they are mentally ill, some because they are over whelmed, and some are just plain evil.

MS, I am so sorry for your dad's pain. That had to be awful. I'm very sorry he had to endure such hurt.

I think that was the point I was trying to make but ended up on some strange tangent.

He moved away (from his mother) as soon as he could. He's a control freak and has to have everything in it's place or done just so. He's a good man.

I wouldn't have him any other way and thank you.
