If the person writing the article had only heard about what is on the tape, but hadn't seen it, it would "allegedly" show her putting the child in the machine. You cant report as fact what is only hearsay.
Anyway, I would tend to lean towards ramon's interpretation - a very stupid act not intended to actualy result in the machine being turned on. Although, it was a coin laundry, whether the machine turns on when the door closes or not, there would have to be money in it at the time.
