A woman shocked friends after she posted a photo of a
little boy with Down's syndrome inside a washing
machine on Facebook. Courtney Stewart, 21, (pictured
above) shared the photo saying the 2 year old boy had
climbed into the machine by himself because he has a
'washing obsession', and said she was sharing the photo
'as a laugh'. The child was in her care when the photo
was taken.
Her neigbours in Erskine, Renfrewshire, UK, didn't
think the photo was funny and reported her to police.
The police visited her but she was not arrested.
She told police that the door to the washing machine had
not been closed on the boy, and the machine was
unplugged as she was waiting for a new one to be
delivered.
Speaking of the decision taken by someone who had seen
the picture on Facebook to report it to police, she said:
'I don’t know who reported it. I don’t really know why
they would do that. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.'
Ms Stewart claimed she was also assaulted on her
doorstep by a stranger who had seen the picture. She has
since removed the photo.
