Parent puts child in washer

[maytag63]

Yet another parent not thinking what he's doing. You can skip the ad in about 5 seconds. Full story here:

I could not watch it. The AOL page said the machine locked and then they panicked. How could anyone be so dumb.

Idiots!
This child should be taken from them!!!!

But, is this true or not

From the video, I make out that the door shuts, and the machine starts, but in reality - you have to select a programme, close the door, and insert money - it won't just start like that.

OMG

That is unreal... does anyone know if the baby lived? They should be hung out to dry after they were put in the washer for doing something like that!!

The kid survived. Reportedly just bruises...and psychiatric

Poor Kid!

Darn! (I would use a stronger--and much more descriptive word--but it would violate the ToS here to do it.)

How stupid can anyone be? I sure hope that both these idiots who call themselves parents end up in a place where child abusers are not liked very much...

I suspect that the laundromat owner may become an ex-owner soon. Liability suits are expensive, you know. I am sure a clever lawyer will find some way to blame the owner and/or attendant on duty for this whole thing.

Saw This Is "World News Tonight" Yesterday

Am here to say the child should be put into care and the parents sorted.

According to news reports the daft father was playing a game of "hide and seek" with boy. First placing him into a dryer then the washing machine. What he didn't know was that someone had placed money into the washer so when the door was closed and locked it started.

The owner was interviewed and said her worker was a hero for coming to the aid of the child in time. Upon hearing the screams he moved tables out of the way to gain access to the circut breaker panel and shut down the machines.

Stupid, stupid, stupid! Both parents are dumber than dirt.

Another reference alludes they weren't parents, but a babysitter and her boyfriend. Who knows WHAT happens in Joisey? Obviously not the media.

Oh I can hear this now....It will be the fault of someone other than the sperm donor and egg donor....they will come up with some scheme to try and sue the owner. This kind of shit happens frequently in Atlanta...Parent does something stupid and heinous, then we blame someone else.....ugh. What a damn fool.

Manufacturers could've added a emergency stop button, like Dexter does.
