Quote:The washer requires 11 quarters to operate and will not accept coins until the heavy door is shut, officials have said. The door cannot be unlatched while the machine is operating.

Rebecca Billings Wagoner, Hope's mother, had to use a rock to smash the door and pull her daughter out.

The mother "suffered extensive cuts ... (and) the horror of watching her young daughter die a violent death right before her eyes," the suit said.

Although this is tragic, I got a chuckle out of th following statement....

Quote:Hope's (the victim's) 14-year-old half brother has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in her death. Officials have refused to explain the details of his alleged involvement. But in a statement issued Friday, the Wagoner family said, "Our son would never have hurt his sister" and did not have 11 quarters.

He would never have hurt her and he did not have 11 quarters....

Probably would have been quicker to unplug it than smash the door.
