The Washing Machine Parents

I know most of you by now have at least heard a little about the parents that watched their toddler get into the washing machine, while recording and once the child was inside and the machine started, they could not get the child out and the child could not let himself out. Ridiculousness at its best and worst. Those people are idiots and are comparable to being as horrible parents as those that had their children lie to the media about the air balloon built by their father a few years back. Why are these people not being properly prosecuted? I feel that laying the law down on these moronic people who do not deserve children would eliminate a lot of this from happening. Imagine how that child must have felt, the fear he must have experienced before drowning. I could never imagine even playing around with my 3 year old daughter in that manner, I care too much about her and I am entirely too protective over her to let her even play like that. What are you guys views on this??

Yea, there's a video where you can actually watch it! I saw it when it was on the Yahoo! Homepage... it is definitely sad and shocking to watch. I couldn't imagine that being my child! Thanks for commenting!!

People are crazy. I could not imagine what they must have been thinking when they pulled something like that. How stupid. I don't know why they aren't properly dealt with by the authorities but they should be...they murdered their child.

I'm sure that the police and forensics deal with a lot everyday with the brutal murders, etc. that occur around the world, but even being a responding officer to that had to be quite disturbing. I couldn't imagine what could've possibly been going through their minds when they had to detain these people in the back of a squad car hopefully for disposal (wishful thinking). But, honestly, people need to start looking at these signs and doing something about these mentally disturbed individuals that are roaming the Earth creating offspring under our noses before they start to outnumber us! Thanks for commenting!! And Happy Memorial Day!!

Yes, I have read that before, i felt so sad for the child for he has a mother like her. He never deserves to have that kind of punishment because he's still a kid and don't have any idea what kind of mistakes he did. I should say, before parents give punishments to their kids they must think it first if it will make a better result or just make it worst.

Even if the parents were joking or punishing, they should've known better. I hope that child is taken away and given to a better home with actual people who have compassion and working brains enough to raise a child properly. Thanks for commenting!!
