Tuesday May 30 12:09 AEST
A 13-month-old Perth girl suffered serious burns when she was put in a clothes dryer, police say.
The baby was left with the boyfriend of her mother at suburban Warwick when the woman went to the gym for about an hour last Thursday, police said.
The baby spilt liquid on herself and the man put her in the clothes dryer and turned it on.
The girl suffered serious burns to her feet and hands and bruising to the face, arms and back.
"We received information from Princess Margaret Hospital's child protection unit, which said the injuries were suspicious and highly unusual," a police spokesman said.
A 21-year-old man from suburban Beldon is expected to appear in Perth Magistrates' Court, charged with causing bodily harm or danger.
