Amy and the passive

Amy has an interesting passive construction in her German: she uses the participle but leaves out the auxiliary verb.
An example from this morning: "Ich will nicht angezogen!" ("I don't want dressed!").
I suppose it's not all that different from "This car needs washed", with similar elision of the auxiliary, and which occurs in the speech of native speakers from some areas.
