Teen Charged After Putting Baby in Running Dryer

A teenager was charged with murder on Thursday after she put a baby in a dryer and turned it on.
Babysitter Arielle Smith, 19, is accused of killing 5-month-old Andre Jenkins and locking up his 18-month-old brother and one-year-old sister so that she could watch television without being disturbed.
Smith admitted to removing clothes from the dryer, putting the baby in and starting the machine. After she removed the unresponsive baby, she put the clothing back into the dryer and called her boyfriend and the child's mother before calling police. Paramedics arrived to find the baby with burns on his face, head, arms, legs and feet.
She is currently being held on a $500,000 bond.

I just don’t understand how dead you are inside to do something like this. That precious baby. So sad and really disturbing.

Ugh, how can someone do that?

Poor baby, may he rest in peace. Tha girl has issues and needs to be kept away from kids and should never be allowed to have children of her own.
