I found this at Groovy Mom and was at first horrified at the thought of another mother intentionally hurting her child. But as I read it, I understood this is another story about the stupidity of some people and their apparent lack of common sence.

Girl rescued from washing machine:
"A 2-year-old girl was rescued from a locked, running washer at a coin laundry and her mother was arrested after a surveillance tape allegedly showed her putting the child into the machine, police said."

What kind of game was this mother playing?
