Even if that is true, putting your child in a closed washing machine is pretty stupid. Half a brain could recognize that is "child endangerment".

And this is the reason for all those Warning Labels

I agree, I don't think she meant to harm her child, but she is guitly of being an idiot

[I still care]

The same tenant went out and loaded up her fridge with hundreds of dollars of food for a hurricane warning (the one that took out the electric), never realizing that when hurricanes come you lose your electric....

As far as the police go, it doesn't say they were on the scene. In fact, it says the kid was half drowned by the time they got there. Cops can come pretty fast if they get a call a kid is drowning.

On LI where I lived the cops were never more than a minute away. I remember one night I heard a girl screaming in a backyard on my block, I called the cops and by the time I got out to the front porch there were two cars in front of my house.

Here in FL that's another story...
