I am confused how a 3 yr old managed to climb into a washer. Maybe she was playing hide and seek. My 18 month old nephews are aware of dangerous situation on their own. they cautiously take small step in uneven surface & when going up/down stairs. If 18 months old can understand safe vs. unsafe situation, wouldn't 3 year old be pro at it. again unless she was playing. My washer is not deep enough for a 3 year old

Feel bad for the family and the girl.
Some kids are cautious and some are much more daring. In the story they have it a bit normalized that they would help with laundry so she was up there sometimes pulling laundry out. I didn't have a huge washer but both my kids could have fit at age 3, but they were on the small side. When the lid comes down and its switched on, the lid locks. What a horrible thing to happy to that precious child.
All and all, she looked loved and cared for in general.
As for "Facebook stalking," sorry if I'm nit-picking. I don't get that term. To me all anyone has done is look up a person's page, how is that "stalking?" Now making too many judgments about a person based on it is one thing, only someone who knows the person in real life can make the most accurate judgments, but where I come from looking up someone's page is hardly "stalking."
Reminds me of when I was a kid, used to hide in the dryer while playing Hide and Seek... I thought how fun it was when it would spin a bit. I never closed the dryer door (all the way)...
My cat accidentally took a dryer spin once. He used to like to hang out in there and the kids kept leaving the door open. Mercifully, I was there to hear the thuds, so he only did two revolutions.
He came out all staticky.
Back to topic: this is one of those deaths, that to me, are so horrific that I don't have adequate words to express myself. That poor baby. The standard thing is to say "my condolences to the family" but I'm not thinking of the family.
Can you imagine being locked into a tight space, in the dark, and being scalded? Absolutely horrific.
Its so easy to think in black and white here. I do think we should reserve our judgement. I stalked her FB page today. I expected to see a super self absorbed mom. I didn't. She seemed to love her girls. Cherished them, even. She did seem to have problems. But you could tell her daughters were the light of her life. She has a stable relationship. And she disputes what the articles say about her.
She doesn't take responsibility. She doesn't seem to think she will be in trouble in the long run. She feels it was a terrible accident.
I don't know. I am a good judge of character. I think this mom leaves a lot to be desired. But I think part of this is a scape goat mission.
I could be wrong.
So we should believe everything people say on Facebook? Someone posts some nice pictures of their kids and say they adore them, and therefore there is no neglect?
Of course she doesn't take any responsibility.
She should be devastated with grief and guilt(God, what a horrific death being scaled), from you say she talks all about herself. How she doesn't take responsibility, how she won't be in trouble, she feels it was a terrible accident....SHE, SHE, SHE....how about that poor child?
I can't even imagine posting on Facebook after something like this, more like being curled up in a ball unable to function.
But in todays narcissistic all about me world, many only focus on themselves.
Let's see she is having yet another kid with this guy who she isn't married to. The reason they're not married is she can get more welfare that way.

This happened almost a year ago. So people spend the rest of their life curled up in a ball after losing a child

I was just sharing my impression. When first reading it I saw her as the devil and as I thought about it I realized there might be some shades of grey in there.
How do you know she is on welfare or the reason why she isn't married to her boyfriend?
Anyone who brings a baby into this rotton world now IS SELFISH AND UNCARING!!!!!
