This is some sort of a joke that was gone wrong.

The video was originally taken last May 11 but posted in YouTube four days ago. It shows a man believed to be playing prank and just wanted to freak his son. He put the boy inside a washing machine which auto- locked.

But when the machine started to slog, the foolish father together with his wife began to panic. They tried to unlock it but the door could not be opened. They run to and fro trying to ask for help from the people inside the Federal Laundromat.

Some people gathered to help open the machine but failed. Finally, a worker who came to the rescue had switched off the power at the back of the machine and it dislodged. According to reports, the boy suffered minor injuries.

After the incident, the couple reportedly rushed their son home. Authorities and the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office are searching for the couple, report says.
