Ohio Dad Put Daughter in Dryer and Turned It On, Police Say:
Steve McClairin of Ohio is accused of putting his 7-year-old daughter in the clothes dryer and turning it on/ He allegedly did this multiple times. The girl has a condition that stunts her growth.
‘They’ should put this gut in one of those giant dryers at the laundromat with some cinder blocks, rusty nails and broken glass.
Thanks to Dee for the tip.

Newborn Found Abandoned In Old Dryer:
What is it with kids and dryers lately?
This past week a newborn was found inside of an abandoned clothes dryer in Houston. The baby still had the umbilical cord attached and was found stuffed in a trash bag inside the dryer. Luckily some passerbys heard the baby crying and rescued it from it’s plastic and aluminum prison.
Texas safe haven laws allow a person to give up the baby at a safe haven for up to 60 days.

Woman Found Guilty of Baby’s Clothes Dryer Death:
I originally blogged about Lakeisha Adams here.
In 2005 she was arrested in the death of her 3-month-old son, Jailand. Back then she called police telling them that someone had killed her baby. What she didn’t tell them is that it was her. Later during questioning she admitted to police that she put Jailand in the dryer and turned it on.
Jailand died from blunt force trauma and had burns on his body as well.
This past Saturday Adams was convicted of killing her son. As far as I know she still faces the death penalty and will be sentenced later this month.
Thanks to Stacey for the tip.

Dad accused of turning on clothes dryer while son was inside:
19-year-old Jose Rocha of Mesa, Arizona was arrested on child abuse charges. His family members claim that when his 1-year-old son climbed into the clothes dryer to play the family went to get a camera because they thought it was cute. Rocha may have had other ideas as his family said that he turned it on while the boy was inside. Luckily the boy was not seriously injured.
Rocha and the boy’s mother claim that Rocha turned the dryer with his hand. Like that’s so much better.
I remember getting my ass chewed out by my aunt when I was little and I hid in her dryer. It’s never a good idea no matter how cute it is to let your kids inside of any appliance.
Thanks to Tina for the tip.
