Geeez, Mothers these days! That is no way to bathe a child. Everyone knows that the only way to clean a dirty child is to scrub him down with the old wire brush. Didn't this happen just a few months back also? Danny  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

It appears to me as a clear cut case of attempted murder. That mother should have her ovaries removed.  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 05-25-2003 09:23 PM                    It sounds like she intended to use the machine as a holding pen for the kid. Maybe money had been inserted by someone else but not used which is why it started when she closed the door. Still inexcusable and she deserves jail time.  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

In any case, the mother must have an IQ of a retarded ape.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 05-27-2003 09:01 AM                        Did she ever do this before? [Probably not.] Would she have done it, had she known what would happen? [I hope not.] Would she ever do it again? Just a few thoughts. Now... I don't believe she intended that harm come to the child. I don't think that she should have the child taken away from her. If she had put the child in, closed the door and walked away, then I would say she should, by all means, have the child taken away. But this appears to have been a stupid mistake. A mistake which, I admit, could have cost the life of this child. When I was about 3, my mom was cleaning the stove. To clean the burners, they had to be removed from their sockets, leaving the sockets exposed. I don't remember why, but for some reason I stuck my finger into one of the sockets. I got a shock! It felt like something bit my finger. Where was my mom? Tending to my baby twin brothers across the house. It was a mistake, leaving me unsupervised in the kitchen. It was a mistake which could have resulted in my death. I could tell you other stories where, unsupervised, I could have died. I could even tell you one where my parents weren't more than one inch away from me, and I could have died. Should I have been taken away from my parents? I don't think so. They never intended for any of those things to happen. And I'm sure this mother didn't intend that to happen. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't think that taking this child away from the mother is going to help anything. I think she does deserve jail time, though.  |  IP: Logged
