Man jailed for microwaving baby
A jury in Texas has sentenced a man to 25 years in prison for severely burning his two-month-old daughter in a microwave oven last year.
The jury rejected Joshua Mauldin's defence that he was insane when he placed his daughter Ana in the oven.
Prosecutors said Mauldin had a history of violence, lying about being mentally ill and was angry about his marriage.
Ana, now aged one, suffered second and third-degree burns to her face and left side and required two skin grafts.
Part of her left ear had to be amputated.
Her foster mother, Heather Croxton, told the court of the painful daily treatments Ana has had to undergo since being left in the microwave for up to 20 seconds.
"There is no excuse for your actions and I hate that one day you will be set free and allowed to move on with your life while Ana continues to pay for your actions," she said.
Mauldin's lawyer, Sam Cammack, said his client would not get the treatment he needs for mental illness in prison.




He's pretty obviously mentally ill, meaning that he didn't know what he was doing when he did it. It's extremely sad, but this whole 'eye for an eye' attitude that everyone has isn't going to help anything… answering violence with violence is just reaffirming that violence is acceptable to other people who might then commit crimes in the future. I say send him to a mental facility and keep him there, so that he is no longer a danger to the public or himself.
OMG this is a really sad storyy man, i hope the man lives with regret with all his life and finally kill him self lmfao
anyone who intentionally harms a child is definitely mental! i hope he gets what he deserves in prison. haha sucka!
MONSTER!!!
Re: DIXIE CHICKS – TEXAS is awesome! I'm originally for New York- upper manhattan and I must say the people here are great, brave and don't put up with shit. The great thing about this place…. We do believe in the death penalty… Not only that… If anyone is on personal property, we have the right to put a bullet in them!!! I love this state… You should visit sometime- My opinion.. stating your name is "Dixie Chicks, or whatever… that's the most backwards thing I've seen since I've been here.
LOCK THIS CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER UP FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE!!!
OMG THATS DISGUSTING
WTF
I dont understand why people decide to have children just to abuse them. I guess that is why, to abuse them. They know a baby is helpless so they take advantage of that. This guy should of had his balls cut off without anesthesia and any medication after so he can go through the pain that this poor child will go through. ACS better start cracking down. Too many children are being abused.
I wish I had a big enough microwave to fit that Scumbag in.
"ding"
One cooked Twat!
It makes me so mad that there are scum like this on the planet. there are so many couples out there that would give so much to have a child and yet Scum like this have them.
FUCK HIM!
By the way, I like your name, it suits you..
Re: Habibti – omg! send me the link.. or maybe i can find it myself!
I'd like to microwave him….
Umm, this is horrifying- Now days, people just dont care about their children, when you first give birth at that moment if you are a true,real, parent, You know you will die for that child, and You will do anything to protect your child, this is just EVIL!!
deedee goes to Pastor Hagee's church and probably looks just like him too.
Re: inyourdefense – Your idea to send him to a mental facility is not a good one. He should not be placed in a facility with a vulnerable population like this who require care. HE is a criminal. Please understand that mentally ill people should not be lumped together. He is a criminal. Why should other people who are there to be treated for mental illness and the families who support them have to tolerate an individual like this.
I don't call this an eye for an eye….I call this common sense. I love Texas
He deserves to rot. Thats horrible. How could you do that to a child?
what a sick bastard
someone here in CT did the same damn thing
i hate people like that
they just make me want to sucker punch them!!!!
Nothing but steers and queers in good old Texas, yessiree.
This happened in my town. Both parents are sickening. I couldn't even stand to read about it, it is so disgusting. To top it all off– When the police were interviewing the dad, the mom asked if she could speak to him privately. They honored her request. She proceeded to give him oral sex after she knew what he did to her baby. Thank God neither of them will ever see the baby again. In the newspaper today, it was reported that the foster mother admonished the dad in court yesterday because when Ana (the baby) is 13, she will have to be dealing with his parole hearings and trying to keep him in jail instead of dealing with teenage issues. She went on to explain that Ana will for sure have normal teenage issues, but mostly will probably be worried about her scars and how to use her hair to cover the area where her amputated ear used to be. These parents are real sickos. May they both rot in hell.
FRY THE BASTARD!!!!!!!
deedee sounds like a woman who eats chicken fried steak three times a day. Watches her "daytime stories" wearing a tattered housedress with her dyed blond hair up in rollers while she waits for her hubby Bubba to come in dripping from the oilfields. Then at night, off they go to bible meetin!
Mother fucker they should have send them life prison or death sentence fucking fucker if i could I ll burn him up !!
poor little thing sick!
On a lighter note. It sure makes Britney and Kfed look like the parents of the year.
i live here in houston where this happened. on the news this morning, right after they told his sentence, there was another story of a man here shaking his baby to death during a bath, because….the kid got into dog shit on the floor. #1 - WHY WAS THERE DOG SHIT ON THE FLOOR????? I cant even listen to the news inthe morning because it upsets my daughter! FUCKED UP!
What an asshole. I hope he severly gets ambushed in the shower. Mother Fucker, 25 years…that's it?
Where is the paparazzi when stuff like this goes down? They could really make a significant difference if they focused some of their lens on issues like this.
Instead of Britney and Kfed and the problems of the rich.
I think they were in a motel right? I live in Texas, I remember this. I was scared when I saw this, I thought some other incompetant parent had done it again!
Re: Texastea – Yes they are everywhere aren't they. What a intuitive comment.
I love Texas.
They welcome everyone and are the most gracious people in general you will run across.
Have a nice day. See you at the Alamo
Don't forget deedee's husband has to lift her fat ass off of her plastic covered couch with a prying board. All of those pork rinds and cherry flavored Kool Aid drinks tend to wreck havoc on the body.
I hope this man fries for what he did. I just ran and gave my daughter a huge hug after reading this sick, sick story.
You know the Alamo….the cradle of texas liberty. A true symbol of Texas.
Thank God it was Texas or some liberal freaks would probably let him go!!!!
Re: Darling Clementine – And you are stuck in a mind warp.
FUCKING PIG!!!!!!
Rott in jail!!!!
Re: inyourdefense –
It is difficult to differ between actually mentally ill and one sick son of a bitch (or faking someone out- those sickos can be really smart). If you make the mistake of sending the sick son of a bitch to a mental institution, you take the chance of him getting out or escaping and doing it again or worse!! What if it was your child?
You know it's people like him that really makes me mad. There are a lot of people out there that are unable to have kids. If you don't want the child or don't want to take care of it, give it to someone who does. There is no excuse for what he did!
The poster DARLING CLEMENTINE has ended this for me.
Not really sure where he /she is coming from….but …..the rest of you can enjoy the contributions that he makes.
drop the soap! stupid a$$… some one should put this ahole in a freaking oven!!!
I live in Galveston County where all this took place. His wife was ordered to be at court and failed to. There is now a warrent out for her arrest. They think she is in virgina. Galveston county's D-A are hard asses and so is the judge. They want life in prison. If you want updates on this I can let you know. This is so sad. What is up with the county? Clara Harrison, The lady who killed her 5 kids, finding a baby on the country road. Is it the water or what. Needless to say I am staying away from it.
OMG that poor child!
it's unbelievable how much damage you can do to someone in 20 sec. She's scarred for life. And that bastard sure is gonna pay in prison after he gets raped like every single day…
omg this is so freaking sick I cant believe it! Thank god the jury didnt listen to his plea that he was insane bc if he actually was insane he would have to know the difference between right and wrong and this is absolutly wrong! And the poor baby girl! Just to think about the trama she will probably face when she gets older. He deff needs a higher sentence.. And I can't believe he didnt get one bc ppl don't like when you mess with children. Sickoooooo
damn a microwave OVEN too.
THAT GUY WILL SUFFER FOREVER AND THIS EXPERIENCE WILL HAUNT HIM. WHAT A SICK, SICK MAN.
what a fucking looser
omg, thats horrifying.
They need to just Dispose of this sick monster!! This guy doesnt deserve prison and if it was up to me he would die a slow and painful death. How the fuck does anyone stick a baby in a Microwave? Insane people dont even do that! This is really sickening but you know what? They are going to eat him alive in prison for sure! Even killers and criminals have respect for babies:)
Re: jimmyd – I'm with 99. Big Time Real Jail. Put him right smack in the middle of the general population. They'll take care of him. For free. No long philosophical disputes, no haggling, no fucked-up lawyers. Just the Yard. That's where they'll find him. And no one will know nuttin'. End of story.
Wow that is horrible! That man should be jailed for life.
Doesn't microwaved baby go well with spam?
They should send him over to me I would def. make sure he gets they proper treatment! fucking asshole and that aint a mothe thats a whore! I wish little Ana to recover from this sickness and arghhh I just wish he ends up dead in prison and gets raped 20 time a day and arghhh I wish I could burn the shit out of him and amputate his fucking ear as a reminder of what he did to his daughter then chop him off in little pieces and make him watch as his arms and legs burnnnnn and then burn him up aliveeee turn him off and make him live with no arms legs and all burned up and without his fucking ear!!!
Stories like this just make me wanna have the power to make fuckers like those pay!
This make me sick to my stomach. People like him should DIE!
I see deedee is stirring up shit as usual. She'd argue with a brick wall. Yawn.
This man does not deserve to live
KILL THAT MAN!!!!!!!!!! Why are these people allowed to live?!? people like that need to be totally removed from society! What an evil son of a bitch!
OMG! That's horrible! Send him away for life!
I'm not usually an eye for an eye person, but this man deserves nothing less than death by huge microwave… preferably as long and drawn out as possible.
THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE HUNG. IM SURE LIBERALS OUT THERE WILL DEFEND HIM AND NOT BE SADDENED BY THIS INSINCE THEY APPROVE OF ABORTION. LET THE BS COMMENTS BEGIN…. BUT REMEMBER IM ENTITLED TO MY OWN OPINION LIBERALS AND I KNOW YOU HATE WHEN SOMEONE HAS AN OPPOSING VIEW THEN YOURS.
omg.. what a jerk!! that is soo disturbing i almost cried while reading it:/
Perez-
I specifically read your site after reading sites like MSNBC.com and especially CNN.com because I need some entertaining fluff after reading the depressing stories that fill today's news. Please please please don't start adding these disgusting stories to your site….especially ones about children. Yours is the last site that I am able to read and enjoy as a mom.
Thanks
Thats seriously fucked up. I hope karma really bites him in the ass…or should I say fuck him in the ass since hes getting jail time.
HANG HIM BY THE BALLS
He'll definitely get the "treatment he needs" once his fellow inmates find out what he did to land himself in there.
Fucking sick bastards! You need a license to drive or go fishing but any redneck asshole can have kids. Disgusting. He'll get what's coming to him in jail! hahaha!

Re: sta – I agree wholeheartedly!! The man will NOT survive in prison. His life will be a living hell there, I think. I hope he realizes what he's done and changes his ways. Such a terrible thing to have done to an innocent baby. His life is wasted now in jail and the little girl now has to suffer from these burns. So awful for everyone.
Well if people in prison find out what he did he might be a marked target…then maybe he will get back what he gave
It's with sick and depraved individuals like this that we should enforce the death penalty……. IMO
What a sicko. =P
The Alamo deedee? Isn't that were they butchered all the Mexicans and stole Texas away from Mexico?
This makes me absolutely sick to my stomach.
What a bastard.
what the hell, that man is evil.
Re: kendra –
O.k sorry i just can't believe it
That is so tragic. What is even more tragic is that apparently these "baby in microwave cases" have been popping up more lately, i've read two seperate cases in the past month about this.. Geez what is wrong with people!
Someone should put him in the microwave… if he could only fit!!
so in this world you need to take a test to drive a car and you need to be certified to do many jobs, why then can people go thru a test to be certified to be parents….it is too stupid and this story makes me sick!!!!!!:-(
Very Disturbing Indeed Very very Disturbing. What he did to that child should be done to him but in three fold. Hope another inmate kills him
They need to fry his ass!
just give him to me and I will take care of that bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just thank God it wasn't any longer :Z
Re: cara – Bring back the death penalty? They still have the death penalty all over the US and they definitely have it in TEXAS.
Texas judicial law: "If an individual is convicted of a capital felony, he or she may be subject to punishment by death, if the State sought such punishment. A capital felony is one in which an individual "intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual," under special circumstances."
what a sick fuck.
This guy lived 15 minutes from me and the whole family are nuts…Justice was served!
Someone should throw that bastard in a microwave for 20 MINUTES! There is NO excuse for treating a child like that!!!! He should have his balls cut off so he can't reproduce. The world doesn't need more assholes like that. And if his wife was indeed sticking up for him, the bitch shouldn't even be ALLOWED to have more kids or be around them. Fucking psychos.
This is such an outrageous act by a parent who has no business being a parent in the first place. If anyone is fucking MENTAL…DO NOT HAVE A BABY! Sick Fucks have no business being around children. This poor baby had to suffer at the hands of a FUCKING FREAK OF A HILLYBILLY PYSCHOPATH.
A+++++++++++++++ article
will read again
The Alamo? The place where they butchered all the Mexicans and stole Texas away! Is that where you hang out? The Alamo has so much blood on its hands. But it is a treasured landmark in Texas I hear.
HE FU&*&* DESERVES THE DEATH PENALTY BUT I WOULD SEND HIM TO JAIL THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM GOOD MAKE HIM SUFFER F*&*& IDIOT!
25 years? Put his ass in a microwave!
Re: DIXIE CHICKS – " MOST TEXAS ARE POOR WITH LITTLE EDUCATION AND ADORE THE BUSH ROYAL FAMILY." Don't you mean Texans. And you say we are under educated. Let me guess you are one of those whining civil right liberals that always try to get rid of the death penalty. Yet here in TEXAS we have an express line to our Murder BOX.
Stupid bastard!, dead !!!
SON OF BITCH SHOULD HAVE HAD LIFE IN PRISON!!
omg poor baby. i'd burn him live.
I certainly hope the inmates take care of his a** in jail. One thing they don't put up with is harm to kids. He should've gotten life after putting him in an oven and baking his a**. They should sterile both parents, obviously they don't have the ability to parent.
I hope all of his jailmates supply him with PROPER justice!!! It's safe to say that if he ends up with the rest of the prison population he will not make it through the first 25days!!! Same to the 'mother'!!!
WHAT A F'D UP WORLD! EYE FOR AN EYE, SO THE BASTARD SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST GET F'N BURNED HIMSELF!
IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT HIS JUSTICE WILL DELIVERED SWIFTLY ONCE HE IS IN THE PRISON POPULATION!!! I'M BETTING HE WILL NOT LAST 25DAYS ONCE HIS JAILMATES FIND OUT WHAT HE IS IN FOR. I HOPE SHE GETS SOME PRISON JUSTICE, TOO!!!
Maybe they should shove HIM in a microwave and see how it feels! That poor little girl…so innocent. this guy is a monster and should be up for the death penalty.
People like this should be in jail forever. i don't care how much it costs. I know we should star an "adopt a jailmate" program, where for only 2.00 a day you can keep piece of fucking shit like this behind bars for LIFE!
this is not true? pick up a goddamn newspaper yuki.
