Ever notice how the front-loading washing machines at a laundromat are big enough for a kid to crawl into? Apparently, these grown-ups did -- and had the not-so-bright idea to see if the toddler in their care fit. In a silly-turned-terrifying incident, a man put a 1-year-old in a machine and shut the door, only to panic when the door locked and the machine started. Luckily, a laundromat attendant was able to stop the machine and free the child. Originally assumed to be the child's dad, the man turned out to be a friend of the child's babysitter, who is (if you can keep this straight) the girlfriend of the child's real father, according to TODAY. The boy's mother now plans to press charges. Watch the disturbing security camera footage here.
