How could a parent put their child in a dryer for a "good time"?

This might be a good time with the proper safety equipment and the heating element unplugged. I wonder what people are thinking. I can't believe the kid made it to 3 with this type of parenting. I have said it many times. People NEED to get a license to have kids. This type of parenting supports my belief. I have had people attack me here on myLot for saying that people need to take a test and get a license to have children.

This is so unreal. A fun time? That is absolutely insane. there are definitely other things he could have done to have a fun time with them without spending any money. maybe take them to a playground or the park. you don't stick a child in the dryer. what is wrong with parents these days? argggggggggggghhhhhhhhh

it is just amazing! is he an human being or just a monster? I just can't think of it. oh my God! He must be sick. I ahve never heard any adult doing this.

Either they have no common fricken sense, or they are just plain stupid and dont care. He should be sterilized.

I can't imagine anyone thinking that is a good thing. Yet on here there was a discussion asking if we could still fit in our dryer. I didn't read it or respond but now that you post this article....it's kind of odd. now I'm going to go back and read the other post. It can't be common for people to get in dryers can it?

I just can't believe that anyone would be that stupid, but it wouldn't have happened if there wasn't someone out there this dumb. I'm glad that there were no permanent injuries to these children. I wonder what my husband would say to me if when he came home from work tonight I said "Hi Honey, I gave the kids a ride in the dryer today!" I might do it just to hear his response. I wonder if the kids are still under his care?

People who love their kids don't do things like that to them. I have five children and I would never put any of them in the dryer. There are too many sick people out there that have kids and abuse them. People like that should never be allowed to have children, but unfortunately you don't know who those types are until it's too late. It's so sad that there are children out there that have to go through that.

well as a parent i know that there are many ways to have a 'good time' with your child and not pay money...you can go to the library and get movies, go to the park, to the beach, play a game - there are a lot of ways! i cant see this being a very loving parent!

I've heard of a few different incidents like this. It's sad. I can't imagine what that poor child went through and how horrified they were. What the heck was he thinking - or wasn't thinking?

And that would be a good time for the kids how? I mean what are people thinking when they do stuff like that.

The dad should be put to jail. I can't even think of doing that to a dog! If they wanted to save money, he should've taken his kids to the park, or a playground. Parents shouldn't put their kids in any type of harm.

Unfortunately I knew of this incident several months back. I believe it was July or August of 2007 when I heard about it. He happens to be related to my boyfriend's family somehow, cousin or something. Anyhow, that one hit close to home. I don't know the guy personally and wouldn't want to. It is very sad when you hear of someone abusing children and I stand against it. I also believe that people who abuse their children should have the same treatment 10 fold.

Thats a terrible thing, how could he think that doing this is fun. Those poor kids. I hope he gets punished for this.

I doubt it if they really love their children. First thing is why do they find it "fun" to hurt their own children? I do not what kind of people are they and what were they thinking when they did that.
