Child Crawls Inside 'Claw' Vending Machine
Boy Wanted Toy From Store
An Indiana toddler had an early morning trip to Wal-Mart that he'll never forget.
He had so much fun in fact, firefighters had to be called to rescue the stuck three-year-old from a store vending machine.
With his sleep schedule thrown off by cold medicine, three-year-old James was awake at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, so he and his mother went to the Elkhart, Ind., Wal-Mart.
On their way out, James wanted a toy from what most of us know as the claw machine.
James' mother tried to get a toy out of the machine. But when the toy didn't come out, James apparently decided to go in."
"He had climbed up the chute and into the bin and was playing with all these toys, hanging by the bar like a monkey," said Danielle Manges, his mother.
At first his mom laughed, but when Wal-Mart couldn't find a key, she called the fire department.
"I expected his hand to be caught in the machine," said Anthony Coleman of the Elkhart Fire Department.
"His entire body was in the Machine. It was a toy machine and he was actually in there and he was enjoying himself," Coleman said.
Danielle bought a camera and took pictures of James and his rescuers who used some tools and in 10 minutes pulled James free from the vending machine.
"You just open the back up and actually he came right to me and I picked him up and handed him to mom and checked him out and he was fine and off they went," said Jeff Herman of the Elkhart Fire Department.
"He's doing all right. He was in a little bit of trouble afterward. He definitely didn't get a toy after that," said his mother.
"That's the next great Houdini, I guess," she added.
Wal-Mart declined to comment on the incident.

If she were a street gang, I'd go to war with her with bottles and chains.

I agree with all of you, that this woman is not a fit parent...I don't think that this incident is serious enough to take her child away...But what if he had been caught in the chute?...I have no idea about the internal design of those machines...But I'm sure there are 1000 & 1 ways for a 3-year-old to get seriously hurt by that lil' stunt...*shakes head*...& people think I would be a bad parent...

The woman must be on crack!Or just was born with an extra stupidity gene.
Well, since I've always felt that the punishment should fit the crime... they should both be pulled apart, limb from limb, by giant robot claws. The child, because you know someone begotten from a fucker who's that white trash would've filtched a toy from that machine. The mother because she's a moron, and doesn't need to be spreading those genes anymore.
Oh, and their carcasses should be fed to starving chickens.
Yeah. Giant robot claws. With lasers.
