:shock: :angry: :cross: :( :( :(
A US mother who killed her baby daughter by cooking her in a microwave has been jailed for life.
China Arnold's actions were a "heinous atrocity" that was "shocking and utterly abhorrent for a civilised society", Judge Mary Wiseman said.
Arnold, 28, intentionally put one-month-old Paris Talley in the microwave and cooked her to death after a row with her boyfriend over whether he was the baby's biological father, the court in Dayton, Ohio, heard.
A jury found her guilty of aggravated murder last month.
Judge Wiseman said: "No adjectives exist to adequately describe this heinous atrocity. This act is shocking and utterly abhorrent for a civilised society."
Her daughter was pronounced dead on August 30, 2005 at the Children's Medical Centre in Dayton.
David Franceschelli, prosecuting, said Arnold intentionally put the baby in the microwave and burned her to death and has shown no genuine remorse.
The baby's DNA was found inside the microwave in the apartment she shared with her then-boyfriend Terrell Talley and her four children.

It's heartbreaking, I've tears in my eyes just reading that. :cry2:
I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a child protection officer or police officer on a case like that. I'm not sure I'd have been able to stop myself causing her serious harm. :cross:
There are so many women in this world that would give anything for a baby of thier own, and then sick animals like her think their babies are disposable. In fact, it's wrong to call her an animal, I know.
It's a sad world we live in :no:
