Freaky story! Kids are a trip!

Toddler Gets Stuck in Vending Machine
By Associated Press

Tue Oct 24, 5:09 PM

ANTIGO, Wis. - Three-year-old Robert Moore went fishing for a stuffed replica of Sponge Bob and ended up trapped in a vending machine. The toddler's adventure began with a Saturday evening shopping trip with his grandmother, Fredricka Bierdemann, and three siblings.

Bierdemann ended the trip by giving each child a dollar and telling them to have fun in a retailer's game room.

A stuffed Sponge Bob in a vending machine's bin caught Robert's eye. He tried without success to fish it out with a plastic crane.

"I told him I could get it for him," his grandmother said. "He's a character. He said, 'Oh no, I can get it.'"

When she turned her back to get another dollar for a second try, Robert took off his coat and squeezed through an opening in the machine. He landed in the stuffed animal cube.

"I turned around and looked for him, and he said, 'Oma, I'm in here," Bierdemann said. "I thought I would have a heart attack."

Store employees couldn't find a key to the machine, so Robert waited while the Antigo Fire Department was called.

"He was having a ball in there, hugging all the stuffed animals," Bierdemann said. "He was so good-natured, but I was shaking like a leaf."

Firefighters broke one lock but then spotted two latches inside the plastic cube. They passed a screwdriver to Robert.

"He stacked up all the stuffed animals and used that screwdriver to open the latch," his grandmother said. "You should have seen him go."

Eventually, Robert freed himself. But his mother, Marie Moore, and grandmother said they were lucky that he remained calm when another child might not have. He went home safe _ but without a stuffed Sponge Bob.

Elkhart, IN - An early morning shopping trip left an Elkhart toddler caught in an unusual situation: inside a vending machine.

With his sleep schedule thrown off by cold medicine, 3-year-old James was awake at 3:30 Thursday morning, so he and his mom went to the Elkhart Wal-Mart. On  their way out, James wanted a toy from what is commonly known as the claw machine.

James’ mother tried to get a toy out of the machine, but when the toy didn’t come out, James decided to go in.

”He climbed up the chute and into the bin,” says mom Danielle Manges.  “He was playing with all the toys and hanging from the bar like a monkey.”

Danielle laughed at first but when Wal-Mart employees couldn’t find a key to the machine, she called the fire department.

Anthony Coleman of the Elkhart Fire Department said, “I expected his hand to be caught in the machine but it was his entire body in the machine. It was a toy machine and he was actually in there and enjoying himself.”

Danielle bought a camera and took pictures of James and his rescuers. Using some tools, they had James free in about 10 minutes.



James' mother says he definitely didn't get a toy after his little stunt

”I pulled him from the back, he came right to me and then I handed him to mom,” said Firefighter Jeff Herman. “We checked him out and he was fine so off they went.”

”He is doing alright,” says Danielle. “He was in a bit of trouble afterwards. He definitely didn’t get a toy after that.”

”He's the next great Houdini, “ says Coleman.

James mother says he has done things like this before, like climbing out of his playpen, doors and even out of windows.

Wal-Mart declined to comment on James’ escapade.
