her three-year-old was locked in a washing machine filling with water. now she\'s warning parents

It\'s not uncommon for Lindsey and Alan McIver\'s children to get up in front of them.
Lindsey McIver told the Washington Post that most mornings, children entertained themselves for about 10 to 15 minutes, coloring and playing before waking up their parents.
But last Tuesday, the Colorado couple were awakened by their panic. year-
The son was crying so badly that he could hardly speak.
Lindsey and Alan can only say three words from Jace: Kloe. Inside. Washer.
After Facebook, there have been more than 3000 million times, and Lindsay\'s detailed and painful experience has saved her month-year-
Vintage look forward to Kloe.
\"I am posting this because I can honestly say that we are not aware of the dangers of this machine,\" Lindsay wrote . \".
\"We have been surprised by the new, creative attempts and ways of death our children have come up.
This is definitely a new one.
\"I slammed the door, pulled it hard and moved the machine down the wall, but it was locked and it all started with two curious children and a shiny new washing machine.
Even though Lindsay told their children to stay away from the washing machine, she told the Post that she thought Kloe had climbed in and Jace closed the door and pressed it while his sister was inside
Then panic followed.
Walking to the laundry room in the basement, they went into a nightmare scene.
Through the clear window of the washing machine door, they saw Kloe tumbling as she poured water around her.
\"I can tell she\'s screaming, but the machine is sealed,\" Allen said in an interview with Good Morning America on Monday . \".
\"I slammed the door and I pulled it hard and removed the machine from the wall, but it was locked and you couldn\'t open it.
Lindsay told the Post that they had just purchased and installed the washing machine the day before and were not familiar with how it worked.
Door said her husband, after opening the Door, began pressing the button on the machine, eventually pressing the keys and then powering on.
The door is unlocked. Kloe was freed.
\"It\'s terrible,\" Lindsay said . \"
\"Since this is a new machine, we are not optimistic about how to use or unlock it.
We know it\'s locked, but we don\'t even know if we can open it at that time, so we appreciate being able to figure out how to open it and bring her out quickly.
\"According to Facebook\'s post, in addition to some small bumps and wet clothes on the head, Kloe escaped from the washing machine relatively unscathed.
But the toddler learned the lesson.
Lindsay said, \"she just said, \'We better not do that again. \'\".
While the story of McIvers ended with relief rather than tragedy, other children who climbed into the washing machine were not so lucky.
Two years ago, a 3-year-
A little girl in Arkansas climbed into the washing machine and covered it.
In this case, once the lid is closed and the girl dies of \"scaling and thermal damage\", the machine is programmed to start, as reported by The Post\'s Lindsey Bever.
Earlier this year in January, a 5-year-
Old Japanese boy suffocated in front of him.
The washing machine is closed and trapped.
The kids are just so fantastic and energetic, Lindsay said, and they don\'t always understand the dangers associated with McIvers realizing that their situation can easily become another tragedy.
\"As far as I know, if it goes further in the cycle, it probably won\'t unlock at that time,\" she said . \".
\"We can catch it in the first place.
Lindsay said she decided to share her story because she wanted other parents to be aware of the dangers posed by appliances such as washing machines.
\"I have never heard of a story like this happening,\" she said . \".
\"I never thought about the idea.
In a Facebook post, Lindsey wrote that there is now a physical child lock on the door of her washing machine and that the child lock function of the machine is enabled.
Taryn Brucia, director of public relations at LG Electronics, told the show today that all LG washing machines are equipped with safety features.
According to Brucia, the machine cannot be used when activated.
In a statement from ABC News, the company said it encouraged people to use \"important security settings \". \"We applaud her.
\"I am very grateful to her for telling her story and sharing her efforts to ensure that consumers are aware of the child\'s safety lock function,\" the statement said . \".
Since the washing machine is so new, Lindsey wrote that she and her husband did not even have the opportunity to use this machine or check its various settings until Kloe was trapped.
However, Lindsay said she found that the child lock setting on the washing machine model did not prevent the door from opening, so the children would still be trapped inside.
She added that it is important for parents to take additional precautions, such as locking the door of the laundry room or the child --

\"The children are very curious and energetic and they don\'t always understand the dangers associated with things,\" she said . \".
\"They just learn by exploring their environment.
I think it\'s always a challenge for every mom.
