The video of a child trapped in a washing machine continues to attract national attention, and boy’s mother is now speaking up. 

What In The?!? Father Puts His Son In Washing Machine

According to NBC, the boy’s mother Sakia David said her one-year-old son, Samier Bush was with his father’s girlfriend, who was babysitting Samier on May 11th in a Federal Laundromat, in Camden, NJ.

David claimed the man who was seen placing the video in the washing machine was not the boy’s father, and she does not even know who he is. After an employee got Samier out of the washing machine, the babysitter took Samier to a hospital to make sure he was OK. When she confronted the woman after recognizing her child in the video, David claimed the woman denied it.

“She said it wasn’t her, but when the cops came this morning to my house and told me to come outside I knew it was my baby.”

In an interview with NBC’s Today, David told reporters the babysitter said Samier fell down a flight of steps.

The prosecutor’s office has spoken with all the members of the boy’s family, the babysitter, and the acquaintance. Police believe that there wasn’t malicious intent and they were not planning to file charges, but David feels differently.

“I want her to be punished and go to jail,” she said. 

Although this was a horrific lapse in judgment, the important thing is that Samier is alive and well.
