There are way too many questions about this story. I had two girls that were 18 mths apart and have had to go to the laundry mat with them both and for me there was no way I would not know what both of them were doing and where they were. Accidents do happen but this washer would not start without money in it and if clothes are being loaded why didn’t anyone notice? I just hope people keep an eye out and watch this mother. Parents are responsible for their children and a laundry mat is not a playground and parents should not allow their children to treat it as such. Keep an eye on your child, the next time (God forbid) someone could walk off with one or both.
