Why would a father put his son in an oven just to teach him a lesson? Well, this man deserves a whole bunch of prison time for doing this to his little boy. This goes way beyond tough love.
A California father convicted of holding his son in a hot oven to teach him a lesson was sentenced Friday to one year in jail.
Gregory Colver Jr., 21, originally maintained he had been asleep while his 17-month-old child wandered into the kitchen, turned the oven on and climbed inside, hurting himself.
The boy suffered second- and third-degree burns that doctors concluded were caused by a "hot, linear object," District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
However investigators poked deeper into the story when Colver's account didn't match up with his girlfriend's, the child's mother, who was at work when the incident happened, KGO-TV reported.
Colver, arrested on Dec. 30, ended up confessing to police that he had held the child in the oven purposefully to teach him the dangers of a hot oven.
His lawyer later said that confession was false and the child's burns were the result of an accident.
