Update: No Charges for Babysitter Whose Acquaintance Put Toddler in Washing Machine

Update: Police have contacted the mother of a 1-year-old baby boy who was seen trapped inside a washing machine on a viral YouTube video.

The video was uploaded to YouTube where it garnered millions of hits.

The mother, Sakia David, 24, told NBC10 she left her son, Saimeir Bush, in the care of a babysitter earlier this month.

The babysitter, along with an acquaintance whom Sakia says she did not know, took Saimeir to the Federal Laundromat in Camden a couple of weeks ago.

Sakia told NBC10 had no idea what had happened to her son until she saw the video footage on the evening news. Sakia said she asked the babysitter about the incident but the babysitter denied that was Saimeir in the video.

Sakia said she believes the incident was an accident and that the unidentified male was playing with her son when he put Saimeir in the washer.

All the same, Sakia says she won’t use the unidentified baby sitter again.

“Nobody should ever put a child in a washing machine,” said Saimeir’s grandmother Doreen Bey.

The Prosecutor’s Office told NBC10 they have spoken with the babysitter and her male acquaintance but no one will be charged.

Is Willow Smith Crying Out for Attention?

One blogger shares my sentiments that singer Willow Smith is crying out for attention from her superstar parents.

Crushable.com is convinced that the 11-year-old’s bizarre outfits and nonconformist hairstyles are actually a desperate plea for attention.

While I give her major props for her unique fashion choices and her determination not to blend in with the crowd, I can’t help but wonder if this latest extreme outfit is actually a plea for her attention from her parents.

According to the Lucy Daniels Center, kids who cry out for attention usually suppress intense feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness and frustration.

More exclusive details from the ongoing Raymond vs Raymond child custody hearing.

According to Dennis Byron, of HipHopEnquirer.com, Tameka Foster‘s attorney Lisa West resumed her grilling of singer Usher Raymond on the witness stand today as the media was allowed back into the courtroom.

Usher lost his cool when Tameka’s attorney asked him a question about a deposition. “I’m not finished speaking,” said Usher, interrupting West’s objection. But the judge set him straight, saying “You have to stop talking when the attorney objects.”

“I’m sorry,” said Usher sheepishly as he lowered his head.
