3 year old boy dies as father “punishes” him by putting him in the washing machine!

There’s evil and then there’s just pure evil! I had my mouth open in shock and horror when I read this story.
In the village of Germingny – l’Eveque, a 3 year old boy in France has died following his evil father’s “punishment” of throwing him in a washing machine and then turning it on! 3 year old Bastien Champenois’ “crime” for the cruel and horrific punishment was playing a prank at nursery school when he threw a classmate’s drawing, down a toilet.
His 33 year old father Christophe Champenois from Meaux near Paris, then stripped him naked and shut him in the machine. He proceeded to run the cold cycle wash for a few minutes and left him in the machine where his mother Charlene 25, found him.
The child, whom neighbours described as blond and angelic, died of head injuries on Friday night, French police said. 
When his mother found him she ran to her neighbour simply identified as “Alice” telling her Bastien had fallen down the stairs – probably in a bid to cover up her husband’s crime. According to Alice: ‘I picked him up and his limbs were as loose as those of a rag doll,I felt his heart beat for the last time and then he died.’
Bastien’s five-year-old sister, Maud, told Alice’s husband that it was not the first time the boy’s father had put him in the washing machine as punishment.
Neighbours told the newspaper that the boy had been repeatedly abused – by being locked up for hours in a cupboard and also by being left on a window sill for hours wrapped in a blanket.
Bastien was an unwanted child’, claimed Evelyne, his grandmother.
‘On the day he was born, his father was out drinking and when I told him he had a son, he said that he didn’t want him.’
A judge in Meaux placed unemployed Champenois under investigation for murdering his child and charged his wife, a mother of seven, with failing to prevent a crime and failing to assist a person in danger.
Both were placed in custody and their surviving children taken into care.
