Girl rescued from wash machine nightmare
A GIRL aged two was rescued from a locked, running washer at a coin laundry and her mother was arrested after a surveillance video tape allegedly showed her putting the child into the machine, police said.
An officer smashed the window of the machine with his baton to rescue the girl, who was "submerged in water," police Sergeant Matt Stone said.
The child was unconscious when she was pulled from the machine, but breathing. She was taken to a hospital where she was in serious condition with cuts, scrapesand bruises. She had inhaled some water but was expected to survive, Stone said.
Her mother, Erma Osborne (35), of Pomona, later was arrested and held on $10,000 bail.
The girl "wasn't drowned but she was getting there," said Los Angeles County fire Captain Dan Ramirez.
