Yes, playing peek-a-boo doesn't mean oh lets put a baby in a washing machine to play. there are other ways of playing peek-a-boo

She didn't put him in there, he climbed in there and he found it funny. You didn't read the article then.

If he climbed in there he climbed in there, there's no harm done really if the kid was laughing.. but, if they were playing peek-a-boo, was there much need to hold the door closed while he was in there?

Also, I don't see what difference the kid having Down's Syndrome makes it doesn't exactly change the story in any way, to me that's just a tactic being used to get people to hate this woman even more.

That's what babies do. They explore, they learn things, they have fun. Direct your hate somewhere that's useful.

Yeah i know, she can't expect everyone to be pleased about the picture, she must be stupid to think it won't be a problem. Pictures like that are bound to get hate and talked about. Everything gets shared on Social Media. don't feel sorry for her one bit.

I honestly don't think she's evil, naive yeah but if she has been investigated and deemed fit to keep him then she's obviously not a crap mother.

I don't think she should be demonised for this, okay yeah it's not exactly clever bragging about closing the door of a washing machine with your kid inside, but that's one moment, does it make her a bad mum? no, does it make her a bad person? definitely not, the over the top hate she's getting is a bit barbaric, the kid obviously wasn't hurt or ~traumatised~ as some people are making him out to be, I think it's about time people started looking at the bigger overall picture rather than taking one moment in time (Whitney promo) and running with it for all it's worth - which in this instance, is not very much.

But I think she's just stupid and I felt it was bang out of order to do even do that, some comments are OTT but mine was in anger and people do say stuff in anger. If I was her I would have taken the baby out of the washing machine straight away, wouldn't dream of shutting the door because to me that's cruel. She wouldn't have been in this mess if she wasn't silly enough to post it on social media.

Absolutely. Toddlers in general are always up to stuff like this, I feel sorry for this woman, another case of social media lynch mob strikes again

But it is her own fault for posting it on facebook herself,I agree Toddlers do things but the first thing you would do is get the baby out straight away, I mean anything could have happened you just don't know, if you know what I mean. I would still have been annoyed if he didn't have a disability because everyone is the same and I treat everyone the same.

Stories like these annoy me so much. People are so willing to be narrow minded and spew hate at any chance they get. It's a complete non-story that has been spinned for people to vent their anger and faux righteousness to feel empowered at the expense of others, as it turns out people love demonising anything and anybody at any opportunity. It's utter bollocks. |

What is going to happen to a child in an unplugged washing machine? the door wasn't fully closed, it was being held closed, so the kid wasn't technically locked in, he was in no real danger.

Petty sure alot of families have pics like these of toddlers in situations they shouldn't be in, it was naive of her to post it on social media given how easily people get offended and take any opportunity to have a go, but being driven from her house is OTT, I wonder if the people who have caused this realise how upsetting it is for her son to have to relocate somewhere else
