An Oregon mother was given 30 days behind bars after waterboarding her infant, and even putting the baby in the freezer.
The mother, Sharday McDonald, said she did these things to see whether or not the father cared about the child.
McDonald went on to plead guilty to criminal mistreatment, ID theft, and tampering with a witness. (Trending: Kari Lake Blasts ‘Woke’ NFL)
As an officer walked up to McDonald’s residence, McDonald was heard screaming at the infant’s father Kendrick Neal, saying, “I’m about to show you real quick. You don’t want him? … “Let me show you about this little f—-ng baby, I don’t f—-ng give f–k about,” a probable cause affidavit gained by Fox News showed.
Many are outraged by the light punishment the mother received, after being sentenced to merely 30 days in the Multnomah County Detention Center.

McDonald had the infant swaddled in a blanket when she opened the door for law enforcement.
The mother went on to tell the officer that she had no intent to harm, hurt, or kill the baby boy while waterboarding him and placing him in her freezer. (Trending: 22 Chilling Facts About Biden’s Impeachment)
Photos were acquired by law enforcement showing the 30-year-old grabbing the baby “by his onesie” while pouring water over his face.
“It looked like [the baby] was trying to hold his breath while water was pouring over his face…,” the officer noted of the photos.
In another photo, she “was holding [the baby] by the onesie but at a downward angel, where his hip, legs and feet were higher than his head (almost upside down) with water running over his face. The only place the water could go (in that picture) was in his nose (at that angle).”
McDonald would later tell law enforcement that she was simply performing a “test” to find out if the father “gave a f–k at all.” (Trending: Proof That Joe Biden Took Bribes)
She went on to tell them that she was motivated to perform the actions “out of spite.”
Prosecutors discussed the incident with a medical doctor, who emphasized that McDonald’s actions could have led to life-altering circumstances.
