    Ouchies that has to hurt. :( Very stupid person but in their mind, it doesn't look like they were trying to be harmful.

    A Wizzy....?



    I'm very aroused....

    The man should be jailed for using the term wizzy in his defence.

    Definitely strengthening the case against male baby sitters :(

    I'm going to hell for laughing at that but what an idiot.

    This thread looked really seedy from the title. The link didn't exactly dismiss that preconception.
    all he was going to do was give the child a wizzy

    *boggle*

    I've been trying to think of ways to make a dryer "fun" - remove the heating element, disconnect the fans, remove the little paddles that toss the clothes, but still no success. If you watch a dryer, you see the clothes go up, then FALL BACK DOWN. How did he not cop that? Perhaps if it spun really fast, so that the baby was pinned to the side, but I can't imagine *that* being anything but traumatic.

    Again....*boggle*

    Two minutes is actually quite a long time if you count it out.
    You'd think a person of normal intelligence would realise after no more than about ten seconds that it was a bit of a stupid idea.

    Calling him stupid is an insult to stupid people everwhere :eek:

    Honestly, when I was a kid, I wanted to go in the washing machine because I thought it would be fun. :o

    To be honest, i toyed with the idea of taking a spin in the sryer once or twice when i was 'ickle... this certainly puts pay to my idea. Just more proof to the claim that all spinny things are dangerous (washing machine, bicylce wheels, that roundabout video with the scooter...)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭exCrumlinBoyo


    This is no laughing matter to be honest. I have two small children and if any cnut no matter how fcuking stupid the prick was did that to my kids, I would hang them by their balls. Seriously, what did he think would happen? He is even more stupid that he left the heat on. Has anyone felt clothes come out of a hot dryer?

    This fella is an fcuking Moran and deserves hanging. As for the poor kid, Jayis even the thoughts of something like this. Human Stupidity at its best. He deserves time for that, or put him in an industrial dryer for two minutes and let his see how it feels.

    A child might think the idea fun and harmless but surely an adult, especially one who was studying to be a teacher would have the sense not to do this for "fun".
    Maybe it's just the cynic in me, but this part of the story jumped out at me:
    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, who at the time of the incident was studying at university to become a teacher, had told Ms Jowett he had no idea how the girl was injured, before taking them both to hospital.
    Cases of child abuse at the hands of step parents and bf's of the mothers happen all the time and just because the man came up with an "I'm innocent, I thought it would be fun for the baby" doesn't mean he is telling the truth. Look at the other factors in this story, the baby was in so much pain she was shaking and he didn't take her to hospital immediately? And he claimed ignorance as to her injuries before he was found out.
    Something doesn't add up.:(

    To even conceder it was stupid, let alone do it.

    I dont believe him. I'd say the **** did it to punish the kid. No one is that thick. Sickening stuff.

    Exactly did he have a fit of rage and stick the child in the dryer to silence it. I wouldn't buy this stupid/ innocent nonsense. There is more to this, can't believe people would take this at face value.

    I would believe that it was done in innocence, Id say it would be stupider to do it to someone as a punishment, a teacher in training would no how to punish someone properly.

    Either an absolute f*cking idiot (not defensible) or a violent psycho who severely abused a child.

    What a jackass! "The laundry whizzes, the toddler likes whizzes"....."1+1=3!!". Whoever uses this kind of logic should be kept away from other people!
