A Canadian man who could not figure out how to deal with his girlfriend’s feverish 10-month-old daughter put the baby into a freezer to cool her down, a local newspaper reported on Friday.
Derrick Hardy faces charges of criminal negligence and assaulting the infant, who was rescued when her mother came home, the Charlottetown Guardian said.
It’s hard to believe anyone is actually this stupid but it appears (from reading the rest of the article) that the guy was doing everything he could think of to reduce the baby’s fever. He was right about that.
