Man Accused Of Putting 2-Year-Old In Clothes Dryer
(KUTV) A Texas man accused of putting a 2-year-old girl in a clothes dryer and running it said he wasn't in the right state of mind.

Twenty-seven-year-old Bobby Lynn Curtis was babysitting his girlfriend's daughter Sunday night. He had given the girl a bath when he said she threw a fit.

Police say Curtis put the girl in a dryer and started it for a short time before putting the girl to bed. The next morning the girl's mother noticed burns on the victim's arms and called police.

"I haven't been the perfect boyfriend to K.C., and with her children, but I've never laid my hands on them ever," said Curtis.

That was until this past Sunday when Curtis' girlfriend was not home, and he was trying to bathe her daughter. "She don't like to get her hair wet or her face. I pushed the issue of washing her hair and she kept hollering. I kept getting madder and madder," said Curtis.

Curtis told police that's when he took the girl and put her in to a clothes dryer that was already running and hot.

He says he kept her there for about five seconds before taking her out.

Although the girl suffered burns to her arms, Curtis did not initially tell anyone what he did.

Curtis said, "I was too scared to say anything, hoping as young as she was it would be something she'd forget about and not remember."

But the girl remembered, and told her mother the next morning who contacted police.

1. When I read Curtis's quotes, the voice I heard in my head was Nicholas Cage's character in Raising

Arizona.

2. That's not fair. He robbed convenience stores, but he wasn't a bad guy otherwise.

This dude sounds like an unbelievable shitheel.

4. Fact is, half the population is of below average IQ

And decision making, critical thinking and coping with stress aren't things they usually train you for in high school. Smart people make bad decisions, but the 'less gifted' do it more often and more egregiously.
