Daughter was playing in park with toy [UAV]. Previous hops had not reached more than 20 or so feet. The toy launched; immediately zoomed to 100 feet; then started a steady climb to at least 1500 feet when visuals were lost [as the UAV was] drifting west toward Reagan airport and Pentagon.
Observer reported a 'toy' UAV operated by his daughter failed to respond to controls and flew toward DCA airport at approximately 1500' AGL.
