Bournemouth toddler suffers sharps injury in local park

The mother of a toddler who rolled onto a drug addict’s needle in a park is facing an agonising wait to see if her daughter has caught HIV.

Two-year-old Siann Parkinson was doing barrel rolls down a grassy slope when she landed on the discarded hypodermic syringe.

The needle pierced Siann’s right thigh, causing the youngster to scream out.

By the time mum Annabel, 25, turned round, Siann had pulled the syringe out and was holding it with blood splattered on her trousers.

Horrified Miss Parkinson, a hairdresser, rushed the youngster to hospital and Siann was given a Hepatitis B injection and blood tests.

They now face a distressing two-month wait until Siann can have more blood tests and injections to see if she has caught HIV from the needle.
