Right, English must not be your first language. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

BTW, the uninsured rate for New York state is actually slightly BELOW the average for the US, and even if 100% of uninsured people in the state lived in NYC, that would STILL be less than half the population. I hope for your own sake that you're just trolling.
 
I don't think the parents did anything wrong. They just simply wanted to keep the infant entertained by placing him in the washer for a few seconds while it was OFF, for the fun of it. No harm in that. How are they supposed to know that the door would seal itself shut and the machine would turn on? If they knew that, I'm sure they wouldn't put their child in. My home washing machine only turns on when I close it and press a additional ON button. Why doesn't that one have another button? Personally, I don't think I would have known either that the machine turns on immediately after you close the door.

And why can't the washing machine be turned off? Yes I understand that it needs to be sealed, but a emergency stop bottom wouldn't hurt. It should be there for other reasons too, like if you leave something important in the pockets of one of the clothes. A emergency stop button could also prevent future incidents with infants.

EDIT: As it is technically the parents fault for putting the child in the machine which your technically not supposed to do, I can't help but notice the failure in those machines by not implementing any additional control inputs. A powerful commercial machine should always have a emergency stop, or additional control barriers like the implementation of a final START button for the cycle. That is poor design.

The problem that I have with catering to retards is that it's an act against nature. If the child or parents are too stupid, the child isn't suppose to survive; they're meant to be weeded out of the gene pool.

Placing a big read "emergency" stop button on a washing machine so morons can retrieve their children from inside is unacceptable. That child was not meant to survive. At very least, the entire bloodline should be eliminated. If the child is spared, it should be turned over to raccoons or wolves for a more appropriate upbringing.



Things will be better when I'm in charge.
 
Wait, so the woman in the video is actually the child's babysitter and the guy who puts the kid in the machine is her "friend"? And there's no charges???

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey prosecutor won't file charges after a toddler briefly got stuck in a washing machine.
The child's mother wasn't happy after she saw a video of what happened when a baby sitter took the boy to a Camden laundromat.
Speaking on NBC's "Today" show Thursday, Sakia David said she wanted the baby sitter punished for allowing a male friend to put the child in the machine.
Authorities say the man was unaware the machine would automatically start and the prosecutor says no one would be charged.
David said she didn't even know about the May 11 incident in Camden until she saw the video on the news and was contacted by police.
David says the baby sitter told her the child had fallen down some steps.

I really hope none of this post is serious, which means it probably is.
