They don't deserve to have children. Poor little mite should be taken from them and given to someone who would appreciate having a child.

[ummmm]

Well he was harmed. Stupid immature parents that have hopefully learnt by their mistake. What would sending them to jail achieve? Send them to parenting classes..

I wonder if they're on the Social Services radar now.

[ummmm]

I would guess they are Sara...

[ummmm]

So you think a child should be taken away because of one act of stupidity?

Social services will be very busy indeed...

That doesn't account for much, judging by some past cases.

Why do these type of women all look the same?

All have what is called "very hard faces" and the obligatory straight hair swept back, exposing a bare fore-head.

Katiemc, id not read the comments from other DM readers until you pointed them out. They're almost as sickening as the story itself.

I'm personally hoping the little boy has been taken off her and is now being brought up by his father, who, quite rightly was shocked at outraged on seeing the pictures.

How anyone can find it funny seeing their child inside a washer, dryer, whatever is beyond my comprehension, especially when he was in there of their making. What would have happened if the handle of the door had snapped off or something?

They look like JK fodder.

took me a second to figure out what JK, was, but yup agree, what vile individuals.

The very experience of being shut inside the tumble dryer must have made an impression on the child, poor little lad - I was shut in a shed by a neighbour's child when I was four, and I have never forgotten it.

hence the JK comments ^

hehe, no worries.

You gotta be joking right. You think this mother should go to jail for playing with her son. It was a harmless prank, nobody was harmed and the son probably thought it was fun. You can't legislate for every possible outcome whether it happens or whether it may happen (though they're trying hard to control every aspect of our lives). Some people are so conditioned. Don't let the state do your thinking for you.
