I am having a very hard time thinking 3 yr olds could accomplish this. How do they even know which button to properly push. My oven you certainly have to know the word "Bake" then even pushing Bake & Temp, I have to push Start. This is starting to make little sense and more like someone showed these kids or someone set this up to happen. I am re thinking how 3 yrs olds could come up with this on their own.
it depends. a stove can last 20-30 years easily, and the older stoves, especially the gas ones, aren't the least bit complicated. I can easily imagine a 3 year old operating one.
These children are probably not psychopaths. They are three. Three-year-olds probably don't even realize what death is or that "making the oven hot" with their sibling inside of it will kill her. That's why three-year-olds shouldn't be left alone and the parents who made the decision to do so should face severe criminal charges.
It has less to do with them being three and other factors.
This is so f-ed up. But it could have happened even if a parent was at home sleeping on a different floor. R.I.P.

Um. What parent with a 3 year old and a 1 year old (coincidentally the same age as the kids I have) gets to sleep on another floor while the kids are awake?

None of them are complicated!
Appliances these days are super easy!
My son has been making coffee in the Keurig for us for over a year. (He gets his play table chair and carries it over to do kitchen chores at counter level.)
He can run the microwave just fine.
The stove buttons are five feet in the air (double oven), so there's no way he can reach, but he's pushed the buttons for me for fun before.
With babies running ipads, etc, all this can be accomplished at a very young age.

On what planet?
A planet with duct tapes?
