ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Central Florida mother accused in January of placing her child in an oven and turning it on was given two years probation in a plea deal, a judge ruled Wednesday. Along with probation, Sharlyn Singh, 29, must complete a mandatory parenting class and undergo counseling after she pleaded guilty to one charge of child abuse, Local 6 News reported. Singh could have been sentenced to five years in prison, according to the judge, Lisa Munyon. Morris Naraidoo, the now 1-year-old baby's uncle, told police in January that he was in the process of helping his brother move out of Singh's apartment on Kirkman Road because they were breaking up. He said he heard the baby crying and found the child in the oven. Naraidoo said his brother and Singh got into an argument before she placed the baby in the oven. Naraidoo also said Singh had a substance-abuse problem. In court on Wednesday, the judge said she reluctantly accepted the plea deal. "I can tell you my perspective -- if she really did this in the way it was described, she should go to prison," Munyon said. Singh's lawyer said his client denies placing her baby in an oven.
