Clueless daddy burns 3-month-old son with hair dryer (Stillwater, Oklahoma)

Is daddy MAURICE F. WILSON really so dumb as to use a hair dryer (instead of a towel) on his 3-month-old son after his bath? And to keep doing so when the baby was in obvious distress? Or was this deliberate abuse? And where was Mom while Daddy was doing all these "caretaking" activities? Who knows. No mention.

INVISIBLE MOTHER ALERT.

Stillwater, Oklahoma — A man who dried his 3-month-old son with a hair dryer after a bath could be facing child abuse charges.

Police jailed Maurice F. Wilson, 20, Wednesday. Stillwater Medical Center emergency room workers alerted police that a baby with second- and third-degree burns on his face and feet had been brought in for medical treatment.

The baby's father had bathed the infant, then dried the baby with a hair dryer, causing burns, investigators said. The baby was sent on to a Tulsa hospital.

Wilson was to be charged Thursday with child abuse, Payne County District Attorney Tom Lee said.
