Texas mother charged, accused of putting two-year-old daughter in an oven



GLEN ROSE, Texas — Officials say a Texas woman has been charged after her two-year-old daughter suffered burns, and witnesses said she told them she put the child in the oven.


The Somervell County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that deputies were called late Thursday, March 17th to a home because a child had burns.

The sheriff's office said witnesses told deputies upon arrival that 35-year-old Tasha Shontell Hatcher said she'd put her child in the oven.

Hatcher was charged with injury to a child with serious bodily injury and arraigned Saturday. Bond was set at $300,000. It wasn't immediately known whether Hatcher has a lawyer.

Texas Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales says the child has been taken into their custody and will be placed in foster care when released from the hospital.
