Parents accused of putting four-month-old son in microwave
Read Time:39 Second
Parents of an eastern Missouri infant face child abuse charges for allegedly putting their son in a microwave, and other abuse.
Derick Boyce-Slezak and Mikala Boyce-Slezak of Park Hills were charged Tuesday and are jailed on $500,000 bond. They do not have attorneys.
The baby was taken to a St. Louis hospital in April when he was under four months old. Doctors found second-degree facial burns and head injuries.
A state social worker said at a hearing Monday that the mother blamed the head wounds on the father for dropping the baby while imitating a TV commercial.
The social worker said Mikala Boyce-Slezak believes the burn occurred when her husband put the baby in a microwave and briefly turned it on.
