Video Shows Father Putting Toddler In Washing Machine At Camden Laundromat

CAMDEN, N.J. (CBSNewYork) A New Jersey mans game with his little boy nearly turned tragic at a Camden Laundromat.

Surveillance video shows the father putting his 1-year-old son in a washing machine while reportedly playing a game of Peek-A-Boo.

Somehow, the door locked and the machine started running and filling with water.

Witnesses were shocked that a father would do such a thing.

Who does that? Who puts a child in a washing machine, like not even for a joke, witness Tiffany Stallmacher said.

The child was tossed around for about a minute until quick-thinking Laundromat worker, Kong Enh,cut the power, allowing the door to the machine to open.

Enh started moving tables to get to a circuit breaker, quickly flipping all the switches until the machine finally stopped, CBS 2 reported.

They very scared. Somebody start the machine already they didnt know that, Enh said. I wait for machine to unlock and I pull baby out.

Enh said the father had been playing with his son in the dryer earlier, and that he was very apologetic but grateful he saved his babys life. I feel good because I saw the baby still alive when he called me. I [was] very scared. When I saw [the] baby alive, I [was] very happy, Enh said.

Im very proud of my worker, saidLaurie Chou, owner of Federal Laundromat. Hes been with me eight years. I couldnt find anyone better.
