What Parents Need to Know About Washing Machine Dangers

Kids climbing into the washing machine is a hidden danger many parents don’t think about. But once that door closes there can be tragic consequences. Alan and Lindsey McIver of Denver are now issuing an urgent warning to parents about the dangers after their toddler nearly lost her life inside a washer. "By the time we reached the laundry room in the basement, my 3-year-old daughter Khloe was locked inside the airtight washing machine,” they wrote on Facebook. #InsideEdition

I still want to know how the hell the washing machine was started with the child inside. You have to physically push the start button after the door is closed.

0:36 that scared me.. I almost thought that was the baby

So you're telling me that the parents filled the washer with clothes and didn't see/hear the child???? HOW?!?!?

[marebear]

I know the pain. My cat once jumped into the dryer and my mom turned it on without realizing. After hearing a few thumps, she opened it and my baby came running out. It's terrifying 😭
Don't worry, she's okay. Shook up, but okay, thank God.

This is why we put a gate in the doorway of the utility room where we keep our washer and dryer when my sister was a baby

Wow. The ad in front of this was, “Let your child explore their curiosity”

My big sister played hide n seek in 1996 with my mom, she was around three years old and she climbed up in the drying machine. My mom decided to have a break and to begin the drying cycle, she eventually started it and she heard my sisters body hitting the walls inside, after a few seconds my mom stopped it in terror, but my sis was okay and even laughing .

First of all, you should check if your child is in there, instead of just throwing clothes in the washing machine carelessly. FYI it doesn’t start it self obviously.

If a Parent is not aware of a Washing Machine Danger, They shouldn't be a parent and therefore should be exterminated immediately.

Thank goodness the girl was ok, imagine the parents feelings if their daughter had lost her life :(
