Yes, there was a baby tossed in a washing machine. Late last week, a clip starting floating around which featured a man putting a toddler into a front-load washing machine at a laundromat in Camden, New Jersey. In a poor attempt to play with the child, the unidentified male shut the door, not realizing that the machine would automatically start (VIEW VIDEO).. The baby tumbled in the machine for about five minutes and was luckily rescued by a laundromat employee who successfully turned off the machine.
Sakia David, the mother of the 1-year-old toddler, Saimeir Bush spoke out about the situation on MSNBC’s Today show explaining that she wasn’t aware of the event happening, how she didn’t know the man in the clip and had in fact left her son to be babysat by her female friend, Sandra who was also in the clip. The 24-year-old single mother made it clear that she will be pressing charges against her friend:
I just want to tell Sandra, ‘This is not over because everybody said on the news that I wasn’t pressing charges and I am.’ [...] I left my child in her custody. She sat there and watched him put my baby in a washer. So it was both of their fault. I don’t care how much they say it’s not her fault. That’s her fault, too.
Smdh…I have no words… [WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW W/ MOTHER HERE]

SMH she didn’t even attempt to but a comb in that cute pies head….poor kid his parents should be ashamed they should be extra careful b/c something like this will get him taken away.
I am happy the baby is fine, but why did I think the same thing first???!!! Comb the baby’s hair.
Lol really?! A topic this serious and all you care about is the child’s hair? Who gives a f*ck what his hair looks like. Let’s focus on the fact that we have some simple @ss men that would ‘play’ w/ a child by putting him the washer! WTF is wrong w/ folks???? Omg…I hope that woman sues the hell out of both them retards! UGH
Did the baby come out of the dryer or the washer?? Geez that hair. Glad the cuties alright though. I’m pretty sure those idiots will be paying out they ass for that. Who thinks to do something like that??
They need to take that child away. We just saw what happens when you allow “certain people” to raise children. She should have left him with more responsible people. It’s her fault as well.
LMAO@ TAYLORGANG!! Why that was the first thing I thought too!!! I was initally thinking did the baby just come out the dryer with his hair looking like that! LLS!!
He’s a cutie pie but I mean, at least make him look presentable boo. Cornrow it or something!
His hair was my first thought as well. Clearly it’s a cultural thing. SMH. It’s not that hard to fix his hair up for TV.
Wait a minute……stop the press…..a young black woman negligent in caring for her baby????? I’ve never seen this before……smdh. At this point, I look at the white woman adopting these black babies as a viable option lol. That washing machine episode was probably the first time that poor baby was hit with some soap and water in weeks. That dude probably thought he was helping the child out. She needs to be pressing charges on her damn self. Got the baby on one of the white man’s major morning news shows lookin’ like Buckwheat.
THAT MOTHER IS A FAKE JOKE , AND SHE’S PLAYING UP FOR THE WORLD .
WHERE WAS THE MOM , WHATS UP WITH THAT ???
WHERE WAS THE KIDS MOTHER , WE HAVE TO PROTECT THESE LITTLE KIDS FROM THEIR MOTHER’S NOW THIS IS SO SICK AND UPSETTING .
Lmao.. what Judah said…!
i feel you…like…sweetheart you will be featured on live television amd seen by millions of ppl…. braid it comb it back/off put it in a pony
She doesn’t even look like she takes care of the child, just looking for a way to make extra money. I bet she left him with her friend so she can go and party.
they made us hate ourselves and love they wealth…
I too am glad that the baby is ok…but his MOTHER’S a hot mess! Ebonics for days, and yes THAT hair. We must do better! But, she IS right about pressing charges. I don’t see a damnnn thing funny about putting a child in an APPLIANCE.
WOW, you people worrying about the baby hair not being combed and not being thankful that the baby is alive and breathing? SMH!!! That goes to show people thinking is not there anymore, smh!!! The mother should charge the caregiver, not only the fact she fully saw the man putting the child and didn’t do anything and then lied to the mother saying the child fell down the stairs to cover up her ass about his bruises,people have no damn morals anymore!!! SMH!!! Now, the T-BOZ situation I feel bad for her, this woman has serious medical issues but she still keeping her head high, I hope things will get better for her. I’m glad Megan Good has her head straight, get married first then have sex!!! She takes pride with herself, I give her props!!!
so what T-Boz had a car repo’d! you think that’s her only car! LOL didn’t you see the ‘Last Days of Left Eye’ special? she clearly said she told her ‘driver’ that she didn’t feel comfortable taking a certain vehicle because she felt a premonition and it was the same day Left Eye crashed. trust me T-Boz has probably 4 or 5 cars, F*ck that Van!
and the lady with the baby that’s YOUR DUMB FAULT TOO, LEAVE YOUR KIDS WITH PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENSE YOU LOOK STUPID GET OFF OF T.V. EMBARRASING YOURSELF! LOL!
Did the Washer Machine actually start filling with water? They didn’t mention water, so was this a dryer? I’m kinda speechless. However, by the reactions of the male and her friend it’s obvious they didn’t intend for it to spin, however they should still be charged for both being dumb and not knowing to do something like that as adults. They put that baby in danger by putting him in the machine, even if they never shut the door. I’d like to know the age of the mother and the friend, because I just can’t see full grown adults doing this. Are they teens?
OKAY…so why don’t i babysit your children and put them in a washer…then when this happens let DHS take the baby away from you…!
you people are crazy! your sitting here acting like its her fault when should could have been working and that was his father and the fathers girlfriend! THOSE 2 need to be put in jail…not the mother…!
“I never got to met him”….LAWD! I hate to see certain Black people being interviewed on TV, especially MSNBC
Howe stupid and dumb of some jackasses on this thread to be judging this mother about her parenting and language when they know nothing about her.
We have a variety of people in America who are at different levels in their professions, possessions, and talents.
Black people need to take care of themselves,build up on their inner strength, pride, and skills and quit worrying about pleasing other people(ie the white man – not being racist here but that is a constant worry for many of us ). When you are satisfied that you are at your fullest potential, and have confidence about yourself, you can accept that you are not your brothers keeper and could care less about what others think about you.
Why do people think that just because we are concerned about one thing, we are not concerned about the other? The baby’s hair should and could have been combed better than that, especially when she is on national television trying to state her case. It does nothing but tell you a lot about herself. Of course we care about the baby being alive and well
Thank you. It’s because people are drama queens/kings who like to feel like they are on the moral high ground by stating the obvious.
Yep. I’m wondering why those people seem to be more outraged by the comments than the child? I was gonna reply the same way, but I felt like people should have more common sense to assume people don’t care for the child’s well being because we see his hair isn’t combed. Every person i’ve talked to noticed the baby’s hair and made a comment. Get over yourselves people.
Where is protective services? That child needs to be saved.
The baby still looks stunned…like wtf just happened to me??? lol Aw, poor kid…
People are talking about that baby’s hair because it shows how irresponsible the parent is. What self-respecting person would come on national tv with their child looking like that? You can tell that none of the parties involved should be taking care of kids.
this is what happens when hoodrats have babies out of wedlock….instead of getting a higher education..they choose to lay down with these raggedy wanna be drug dealers thinking that it will take them some where in life..and after they have the baby the man is gone and on to the next dumb female…I hate to judge a book by its cover but you can tell what her story is by the looks of her and her baby…thank the lord the baby is safe though
So what exactly should the mom do with her son’s hair?…put it in a ponytail or braids? ummm….put gel or grease on it and slick it back or to the side? I thought his hair was cute, natural, and non-conforming
I’d have to answer you with “yes, yes,um….and yes!” I understand what you are saying but the baby’s hair just looks wild. It looks as if the mom didn’t touch it before going on NATIONAL TV. I know people say we shouldn’t try to conform or impress “the white man” but this is exactly what some white people expect from us. You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover but the reality is that first impressions do happen and a large percentage is outward appearance. My goodness….try to act like you take care of your child (yes, by doing something as simple as combing his hair) especially with the fact looming that some guy put him in a wash machine!
See this is Camden, NJ all day everyday…the look, the mentality…just everything…i’m upset how she looked on the local news to good morning america…a damn shame. she could have washed her hair and the baby hair and rubbed some Blue Magic grease up in both their heads. I think the child was acting up and the guy was trying to scare the baby which was a big FAIL!!!! If i was her i would press charges against the friend and the guy but it goes to show you can’t leave your kids with anybody or everybody…he should have been in school anyway….
I feel bad for thinking this but yes..the mother should have tried to comb her child’s hair before going on television. It makes her look even worse as a parent. She already showed a poor lack of better judgement when she allowed that girl to watch her child.
Your friends are a reflection of who you are… If they had respect for her,this would have NEVER happened!
Thank you for sharing your info. I truly appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your further post thanks once again.
