Jeez. Another horrible story of child abuse. This time a man put his girlfriend's two-year-old son in the dryer and turned it on. Seriously! What is wrong with people?!

Adam Morton of Berlin, New Hampshire, placed his girlfriend's two-year-old son in a clothes dryer and turned it on. The boy suffered second-degree burns on most of his body.

Morton admitted to investigators that he placed the boy in the dyer with temperatures that reach 125 degrees on the low setting and up to 180 degrees on the high setting. Those temperatures were reached within three minutes of the dryer being turned on.

During the investigation, Department of Health and Human Services representatives went to the home and interviewed the other children living there. According to the affidavit, the children said that Morton "does mean things" to the two year old.

Where was the mom during all this?

Morton is being held on $2,500 cash bail.

Really? That's all?!

Instead of a money wasting trail, I say we put Morton in the dryer, naked, turn it on high for about 7 minutes and see how he likes it.
