A mother is warning other parents about the great danger associated with washing machines, right after her own daughter got trapped inside one.
This mum’s story is a definite read for parents because it’s a horrifying incident that could definitely happen with anyone. The mother says it’s probably the most frightening and unexpected event that could take place in your home and that’s why she’s doing her best to raise awareness through her own child’s experience.
The mother revealed how the family had just recently purchased a washing machine, spending an entire evening trying to install it too. Moreover, she claims that the excitement of the new appliance was real and she couldn’t wait to make use of it for her daily cleaning routine.
But before the washer could bring her tears of joy, it actually ended up to be her worst nightmare come to life after her 3-year-old daughter got trapped inside.
The mum says that she specifically made sure her kids wouldn’t come near or touch the appliance but it was just one of those sudden incidents where she just didn’t understand how it all occurred.
“I woke up the next morning to horrifying screams. I just didn’t know what was going on,” she went on to add. And that’s when she and her husband realized that something just wasn’t right. They both rushed towards the basement and entered the laundry room.
Seeing the gruesome sight in front of them, the dad only said three simple words, “Kloe, Inside, Washer!” That was enough to make chills run the mum’s spine. How did she get in there and why was she in there, all sorts of thoughts began running through the mum’s head.
The three-year-old was locked into the airtight machine and it was turned ON! Therefore, that meant it was filling up with water and tumbling too. The parents knew that no kid would ever survive such conditions but they did everything they could to retrieve their child.
Thankfully, both the parents came just in time to save little Kloe. Yes, she did suffer from minor bruises but that was about it.
But now, the mum says that it’s so important for other parents to realize that such a disaster could cost them their children’s life. Hence, she’s making sure other parents are aware of the dangers that these appliances pose for young kids.
