Florida Babysitter Arrested For Putting 4-Year-Old In Laundry Dryer

Florida Woman Arrested For Putting 4-Year-Old Boy In Laundry Dryer And Starting The Machine

A Florida woman was taken into custody this weekend for throwing a 4-year-old boy inside a laundry dryer and switching on the machine, according to a report.

Amber Chapman 35, was arrested on child abuse charges after the boy told detectives that his babysitter “Miss Chapman” set him inside a machine with some towels and that he “went around and around,” police said.

According to the report, the child was taken to an emergency room in February with wounding around his eyes, ears, shoulders, and lower back.

The child expressed to Lake County’s sheriff’s office that the woman opened the dryer at a certain point, but then closed it again and e continued to go around and around.

A medical report on the case noted that doctors found his wounds to be compatible with the boy’s statements.

After collecting enough information to pursue the case, cops arrested Chapman this past weekend and she was later released on a $15,000 bond.

She faces a first-degree felony charge of aggravated child abuse. Local law enforcement officials did not release a motive for the abuse.
