Girl, 10, Tasered in her home
She wouldn't take a shower
Mum gave permission
A US police officer used a Taser stun gun to subdue a "combative" 10-year-old girl in her own home because she refused to take a shower.

In a report on the incident the officer, Dustin Bradshaw, said he was called to the home, in Ozark, Arkansas, on November 11 because of a domestic disturbance.

He said when he arrived the girl was curled up on the floor, screaming, and resisting as her mother tried to get her in the shower before bed.

"Her mother told me to take her if I needed to," the officer wrote.

But he said the girl was violent and combative when he tried to take her into custody, so he delivered "a very brief" touch of a stun gun to her back, Britain's Daily Telegraph reports.
 
He said the mother gave him permission to use the Taser.

Ozark Mayor Vernon McDaniel says the girl wasn't injured and is now at a youth shelter.

But Mr McDaniel said he wanted the state police or the FBI to investigate the incident.

The girl's father, Anthony Medlock, who is divorced from her mother, said the girl showed signs of emotional problems but did not deserve to be "treated like an animal", according to the Daily Telegraph.

He said: "Ten years old and they shot electricity through her body, and I want to know how the heck in God's green earth can they get away with this. "

to think he has a gun as well is a scary thought.

Defer to location......Calling a female officer for back up, and trying to "diffuse" and calm down a tense situation isn't in the manual.

 It's better that he used the taser, His other choices were a club and a gun.
Some folks just CAN"T be satisfied. The undisciplined grubby little monster he whelped didn't get shot or clubbed (which is closer to what she needs ) and he's still complaining.
Besides, the mother gave permission, the Father is just looking for a pay day.

I'm glad they didn't have tasers when I was a kid.  :-\

Momma had to settle for either a fly-flap or an aluminum yard-stick......   ;)

Let's face it - most kids need to be tasered once in awhile.
