Drunk, high dad leaves baby in oven overnight, police say By Jason Kessler, CNN March 16, 2010 9:58 p.m. EDT (CNN) -- A Kentucky man high on mar1juana and drunk on whiskey put his 5-week-old son in the oven Sunday and left him there overnight, police said. The oven door was slightly ajar, and the oven was not turned on. After smoking mar1juana at the restaurant where he works as a cook, Larry Long, 33, returned home to share a fifth of whiskey with the baby's mother, Brandy Hatton, McCracken County Sheriff Jon Hayden said in a statement. Hatton had four or five shots and went to bed while Long finished the bottle, Hayden said. At 5:30 the next morning, Hatton awoke to the sound of the baby's cries coming from the oven. He had been in it for several hours, police said. Emergency crews responding to the scene transported the infant to a local hospital, where he was found to be unharmed. The incident was reported to authorities by a psychiatric facility that Long turned to when he learned what he had done, officials said. "He actually called a mental health crisis line immediately thereafter and told them that he had done this. And they contacted us," Hayden said. Police arrested Long and charged him with first degree wanton endangerment. He is being held on bail of $10,000. Long blamed his actions on the mar1juana, which he believes was laced with a hallucinatory agent, officials said. Authorities have removed the baby from its mother's care and awarded emergency custody to members of her family. There ya go.
It's not like the oven was on, or even closed all the way. The baby was perfectly fine. That being said... why the hell did he put the baby in the oven in the first place?!
I'm actually surprised the first 3 post are not by you True Beaner. This is such a strange story. Why would he put him in there in the first place?
Wow, guess this urban legend will have more truth to it..... http://www.snopes.com/horrors/drugs/babysitter.asp
I can't believe some of the responses on here. The guy definitely needs to have this child taken from him. I don't know about jail time, but he is obviously not a good father. If it was solely up to me this a-hole would be in jail for a very long time. And the mother.

What the heck did the mother do? All she did was have some whiskey and go to sleep? And what did the father do to be locked up for a "very long time"? When he realized what he had done, he IMMEDIATELY called the crisis hotline. He was obviously really distraught over the situation, and he didn't try to even cover up his actions. If the oven had been turned on, or if the baby had been harmed in any way, I could see where you were coming from......but this was really much ado about nothing. The guy is obviously gonna spend some time in jail, but I wouldn't even be surprised if he just 10 years probation or something.
