ELKHART, Ind. - A 3-year-old boy upset that his mother wouldn't let him use a crane vending machine to try to win a small stuffed animal took matters in his own hands. He climbed up the chute to get the prize himself.

Danielle Manges said she took her eyes off her son, James, for a moment to pick up a juice bottle he threw. When she looked up, he was in with the plush toys.
"I bent over to clean it and within two seconds he had climbed through the hole, into the chute and pushed the door shut so we couldn't get him out," she said. "He climbed up in the toys and was in there for a good hour."
Manges said James has been sick and sleeping odd hours so they went shopping about 3 a.m. Thursday at a Wal-Mart in the city some 15 miles east of South Bend. She let the boy play on some of the rides, but wouldn't give him money for the vending machine.
At first, Manges thought it was funny.
"He was playing with all the toys and hanging from the bar like a monkey," she said.
Manges said people leaving the store went back inside to buy disposable cameras to take photos of her son. She bought one herself.
She became upset, however, when Wal-Mart employees said they did not have a key to let James out. So Manges called the fire department for help.
"I expected his hand to be caught in the machine but it was his entire body in the machine," firefighter Anthony Coleman said. "He was swinging from a bar, jumping around. He was having a ball."
About 40 people watched as the firefighters removed the back of the machine and freed him.
James still came up empty handed.
"He definitely didn't get a toy after that," Manges said.

What the hell kind of a mother is this? :uhoh:
Her kid goes somewhere he shouldn't, where he might be in danger and all she does is leave him to get a camera???
Oh yeah, it's a mother who thinks its reasonable to wake the kid up and shop in the middle of the night. :nono:
The cops should charge her with child neglect.

Oh get over it. IT was a funny situation, i think ANY mother would laugh and take pictures. Yeah, being surrounded by squishy toys is such a dangerous place. And if you read the article, she thought that the store had keys to the damn machine (that would be a reasonable expectaion, but don't put it past wally-world), AND it even states that the kid's been sick and had been sleeping weird hours, so that's why she went at 3 AM.

also im not sure if this is possible because most of the modern machines have a door that looks like this >> |\ so that when it lifts up it blocks the hole so noone can reach up and steal toys...in other words...i cant even put my arm up a machine...i cant imagine putting a small child in one

Yeah, I can see the humour in it. If I were there, I might laugh too, but if this were my kid in there, it would definitely not be funny.
Seriously, that mother has the wrong attitude.

Kid's probably sleeping odd hours because of the fumes from the meth lab.

Damn straight. If I had a kid that was stuck in one of those machines, I'd be trying to break the glass on it to get him out... Then I'd hope that none of the five million security cameras at Wal-Mart were working.
What kind of retard would stand there and take pictures of their kid that's stuck in a machine.

If that was my kid, he'd be getting the beating of his life when he got home, though then again, that kids probably never had a good beating and that's most likely what caused him to be such a dipshit.

on the flip side though, those vending machines could be a god send. imagine, not having to pay for daycare, you could shove your kid up the chute. he'd play with the plush toys for hours, he can sleep on them whatever.
then you can take all the money you'd save by not paying for childcare and spend it on more stuff to make meth :bigthumb:

sorry but I don't agree with the mother's attitude either. The instant I saw my kid INSIDE the motherfuckin prize machine, my eyes would bulge out of my head and I would take a breath so deep my lungs would near explosion, then I would have ran over there and checked for a way to get him out. Then I would have told the little shit that if he didnt climb back out of that motherfucker RIGHT THIS FUCKING INSTANT, I was gonna beat his ass with a belt until it bleeds, and then make him sit in a hard chair for an hour. And yes, when I have kids there will be a dedicated hard chair in the corner which they will learn to hate.
Imagain the remorse the kid felt as his mother stood there laughing and smiling at him while he climbed around like a little monkey inside the machine. The kid must have felt so bad. I'm sure he will never do it again... I mean, he didnt even get a toy this time.... what a strong signal.
stupid cunt. They should have taken her kid from her and shot her in the kneecap and told her how stupid she was.
I may be over reacting slightly.
But I do feel this way.
hahahaha
