A Hutchinson man is on trial this week on charges he put his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son in a hot clothes dryer.

In a videotaped interview with detectives shown in court, Aron Pritchard said he put the children in the dryer to show them they could have a good time without much money. An hour later, the dryer had become hot and the boy had second-degree burns.

Pritchard told the detective that he didn't mean for the boy to get hurt.

Jurors also heard from a pediatrician who testified that the burns, combined with prior injuries including a twice-broken clavicle, could indicate an abusive environment.

Pritchard is charged with aggravated child endangerment and child abuse in the November 28th, 2006, incident.

He left a three year old in the dryer for an hour? I don't believe in Capital punishment but this ****er should get the chair.

I'm not sure if the kid was in there for the entire hour. I can't imagine a three year old could even survive for a full hour like that. I just assumed that maybe they were alternating back and forth for an hour.

I didn't sleep last night and when I read it it did seem odd. Still even alternating the two children, in the dryer, for an hour. This man needs to be euthanized for the good of the species.
