A mother was arrested and charged with child neglect after claiming that her son got trapped in a washing machine by accident.
According to 30-year-old Heather Oliver, she found her 5-year-old son trapped in an operating washing machine after waking up to get some milk from the kitchen and hearing the machine filling up with water.
As the mum insisted, she immediately rushed into the bathroom and turned off the machine before pulling the boy out.
According to the court documents secured by The Indianapolis Star, the boy was covered in bruises and vomited after the incident.
After the boy was taken to the hospital because he kept on losing consciousness, the mum was charged with neglect of a child.
In addition, the reports have revealed that Heather called the boy’s dad for assistance instead of dialing 911 to get the boy to the hospital.
As the father said, his son was “soaking wet” and kept on falling “in and out of consciousness.” In addition, his eyes were allegedly rolling towards the back of his head.
After seeing that the 5-year-old was in a serious condition, the father took him to the hospital on his own rather than calling emergency services.
Suggesting that there could be more to the story than Heather revealed was no other than the child who admitted that his mum wasn’t “nice” at the time of the incident.
However, the boy didn’t tell the authorities anything that would prove that his mum had abused him. In addition, he didn’t say anything about how he ended up in the washing machine.
