WHEN SOME FUN IS NO FUN AT ALL

Would be West Australian school teacher Samuel Siddall has gotten himself into a bind by giving his girlfriend's toddler some "fun":

Siddall's lawyer Ronald Smith said Siddall would often give Mia "wizzies'', when he would hold her hands and spin her around.

Mr Smith said when Mia spilt some medicine on her top, he took her into the laundry to dry it.

"All of a sudden he had a thought: she likes wizzies, she would probably like a wizzy in the dryer,'' Mr Smith told the court.

"His only thought at that stage was to give the child a fun time.''
Siddall, who has no criminal record, had not acted out of anger or malice, Mr Smith said.

"He did not think of the ramifications, all he was going to do was give the child a wizzy,'' Mr Smith said.

So, what could possibly happen to child confined in a really hot, spinning, confined space?

Mia's mother, Marnie Jowett, who had left the toddler in Siddall's care while she visited a gym, returned home to find the toddler shaking with pain from burns to her hands, feet and back, and bruises to her face and spine.

Siddall initially told police he had no idea how the little girl was injured. Unfortunately, all too many universty students have "no idea".
