abc7.com: Terrifying Ordeal, Girl Stuck in Washer

READING, PENNSYLVANIA — What started out as a dare turned into a terrifying ordeal for a Pennsylvania girl

Eight-year-old Anna Moyer is still bruised and sore after being stuck in a triple loading washing machine for more than five minutes. She says she got into the machine on a dare. Then, a friend put in a few coins and turned it on.

Luckily some adults were close by. They frantically dismantled the washer – literally pulling wires apart to turn the machine off and get Anna out.

The little girl says she learned a valuable lesson. She said, "I won't do no dares, I won't go in it every again."

Anna says she is now afraid to even enter a laundry room.
