LOL, Toddler Gets Stuck in Claw Arcade Machine
Remember that How I Met Your Mother episode where Robin was the reporter for a news story about a kid that got stuck in an arcade machine?
Well, this was on the local news tonight. I think the photo is hilarious. LOL
You have to see it to believe it. Firefighters came to the rescue after a toddler became trapped in an unusual spot.
The girl, Kaytlyn Campbell, became stuck in a claw game machine after crawling into it. Only WKYT was there when firefighters freed her at Commonwealth Coin Laundry, on Russell Cave Road in Lexington.
Campbell's family was doing laundry Tuesday night, and letting little Kaytlyn play with some other children when another parent saw the toddler inside the arcade game.
"We went back to put soap in the washer and came back and I seen a head pop up. I couldn't believe it at first. There was a little girl in the machine. She climbed through the hole," said witness Shauna Brown.
Kaytlyn was stuck inside the animal claw case at the laundromat and her parents were calling for help. Firefighters arrived shortly after they made the emergency call.
"They first tried to start picking the lock, but the mechanism on the locks wouldn't allow them to pick it. Then they tried to unscrew the sides, the top of the screws, they tried to unscrew those," said Brown.
"She did okay until they started cutting the lock off and then she started crying, was scared and stuff," said Grandmother Judy Campbell, "I just feel like a big burden's been lifted off of me."
Kaytlyn emerged from the machine unharmed. Firefighters let her keep two of the stuffed animals.

Re: LOL, Toddler Gets Stuck in Claw Arcade Machine
Leave her in there, let her learn her lesson. Yes, I'm harsh.
I'm sure she would remember that lesson.
Also some kids would probably be happy to be in a box filled with toys. On another note I was hoping someone tried playing the claw game when she was in there.
I love you.
I'm horrible. My first thought for getting her out would be to get a roll of quarters.
I'm dying just reading this!
But I'm annoyed she got 2 stuffed animals.
teehee, that is a funny picture! I am pretty sure I have seen a little toddler attempting to climb in thru the flap once before and the mom noticed in time to snatch them up. Sneaky little things!
I actually have a cousin that got seriously hurt and hospitalized when he was around 5 or 6 for crawling on top of one of those machines and it came down on him. I'm pretty sure HE is the sole reason they all have the "do not climb" warnings on them now, as his parents sued and won a pretty hefty lawsuit against the manufactuers. Cousin had major head trauma and had to wear a helmet for most of his childhood (like all the time, not just when riding a bike) so needless to say, it was rough for him. Then again, when he turned 18 he gained access to over $50,000 that was in a trust fund from the lawsuit, and was the only 18 year old I knew who was driving around in a Cadillac Escalade. hah
... You should see the parking lot at my HS. Some students lived in multi-million dollar homes while others were on welfare.
*But that's really sad about him being injured and having to wear a helmet. Although, I'm glad they were able to win a lawsuit (which hopefully helped with medical bills). And anytime I see warning labels that make me go "well, duh!" I realize that someone must have done it for them to put that label on.
bwahaha, the first thing I thought when I saw the title was HIMYM -
They shouldn't need fire fighters.. open it like they do to put in new toys!
sheesh
this is what i thought! why reward the stupid kid for being so stupid??
I'm glad this little girl was ok, but DH and I laughed so hard at this story on the news last night. The timing was funny because we had JUST watched that HIMYM episode last week, haha.
Erin, that's a sad story about your cousin.
I never even would've thought something so serious and traumatic could happen from a game like this.
