So you're hating on her, on the off chance that she puts coins or other foreign objects through the washing machine? there's also nothing on the inside of a washing machine door that is able to be held onto, especially not by a baby, so the chance of the kid being able to grab hold onto the door and shut it from the inside, is incredibly slim, impossible at most.

I nearly went into a unplugged washing machine once and my mother stopped me straight away because a washing machine is no place for a baby unplugged or plugged. Life is unpredictable and that is a fact.. anything can happen and you just don't even know it. The hate is OTT but you can't expect people to be pleased/happy with what happened.
It's her own fault

The doors aren't electronically controlled, it's a simple latch mechanism, able to be opened any time, on or off.

The only time mine won't open is if there's a wash on other than that in can be opened or closed anytime

This washing machine obviously wasn't on, so the door would have been able to be opened if by some unknown miracle this kid happened to shut it, no real danger, no real issue

Yeah, it'd be almost impossible for him to close the door himself from the inside

thousands of children die every day from almost impossible situations and everyone washes clothes with coins in their trousers from time to time http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...g-machine.html http://www.japantoday.com/category/n...e-washer-dryer "Police said the boy had gotten into the drum and was trapped after the door closed behind him, locking him in." http://www.scmp.com/news/china-insid...omicide-police Two toddler sisters died after crawling into a washing machine at their home and accidentally turning it on. Police have ruled out the possibility of homicide after the pair, aged 2 and 3 (earlier media reports said she was 4), were found dead hours after a spin cycle had been activated at their home in a suburban town in Jiangxi province on Saturday, Xinhua reported on Tuesday. there are plenty more |

It was unclear how the door managed to close and lock the girl inside but the spin cycle was activated for several minutes before the woman noticed what had happened. |

Honestly, it's not the first thing I check when I go round to someones house and it's not a common topic of conversation but I know I turn the socket switch off at the wall on mine when I'm not using it

Maybe it was a mistake and she should've removed him straight away, but regardless the baby survived unharmed, social services aren't concerned, and I'm sure she won't do it again. Time to move on, people.

I don't think we have any reason to believe this woman is a crap mother with the information provided in the article BUT I will say social services failed to spot anything wrong with Baby P's situation before that ended in tragedy.

I would read into that, that if her child didn't have Down's Syndrome, people wouldn't have been as bothered and she's probably correct about that too

You're comparing those two cases? Really?

I know I would still be bothered if the baby didn't have Down Syndrome as I treat everyone the same

I still find it hard to understand why she even put the picture on facebook. She probs thought people would find it hilarious because why else would she post that? She should have known she would get so much slack for it.

But I would say there'd be some form of backlash if the boy hadn't been disabled, the child in the washing machine has been a news item for a long time from what I remember. Like, personally, looking at that photo I wouldn't immediately know he was down syndrome. |
