100 Word Assignment

A 3-year-old girl was trapped in a washing machine at a local laundromat yesterday afternoon, Rockland police chief said.

The girl, Jennifer Childs, climbed into the washer while playing with her sister.

Rockland resident Paul Hecker heard screams coming from the laundromat and ran inside to see what was going on. Hecker used a hammer to smash the glass door of the washing machine. Childs was trapped in the washer for more than five minutes before she was rescued, Police Chief Ralph Robinson said.

Childs was admitted to Rockland Hospital yesterday afternoon and was listed in good condition.
