D'Iberville, Mississippi -

A Gulf Coast baby is out of the hospital after going for a spin in a washing machine at a laundromat in D'Iberville, Mississippi.


7-month old Valle Hernandez was reportedly being pushed in a rolling laundry basket by his 4-year old brother while mom was loading the washer. Valle's big brother pushed him into a front loading machine and the door shut. Mom turned her hear for a split second and when she turned back, didn't notice baby Valle mixed in with the dirty clothes. Their mom turned on the machine before realizing the baby was inside. Since front loaders lock when closed, the child's mom scrambled to get help.


Mike Adams says the baby was probably in the washer for at least a minute before they got there and it took some serious tugging to get the door open.It took three grown men to pry the door open. "We got it open and when we got him out of there, I was horrified. He was solid purple from that blood and it was something I hope I never have to witness again."


Valle was taken to the hospital and has already been released. He is expected to make a full recovery. No charges are expected to be filed against the parents because police believe it was an accident.

,,,this just…DON’T SOUND RIGHT..!!!...someone ,,need to look further into this..??....

I wonder if this has happened before?  I totally agree with you engtchr!  I am so happy for this family’s outcome.

How the heck did a 7 month old baby get up in that washing machine?  How the heck did the woman see the younger kid pushing the 7-month-old baby into the washing machine and do nothing?

Something is not right about this story.

I’d bet money if you unplugged it, plugged it back in, the latch would release. Not that it would be easy to get to that plug.

Wow!! There should be a saftey latch on that machine for emergency openings…
