Quote:
It was "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" at the Franklin Correctional Institution, and Sgt. Walter Schmidt wanted to give the kids an idea of what their parents do.

So he took out a handheld stun device and zapped them with 50,000 volts of electricity.

The children, whose ages are not available, reportedly yelped in pain, fell to the ground and grabbed red burn marks on their arms. One was taken to a nearby hospital.


OOPS.

Quote:
"It wasn't intended to be malicious, but educational," Schmidt said. "The big shock came when I got fired."


Care to rephrase that?

Of course, he did ask permission to expose the children to a current meant for large, angry convicts:

Quote:
Schmidt, the arsenal sergeant at the Panhandle prison, said he asked parents for permission to shock the kids.

"When they said 'sure,' I went ahead and did it."


Of course, he got fired. Why not charged with assault? I don't know.

The article

It gets worse, though:

This happened elsewhere. In two other prisons.

I don't mind kids getting tazered...as long as they actually deserve it, like this beautiful piece of work.

That's fucked up that it's done for "educational" purposes, though.

And the fact one kid was 8, which is how old :pearl: was in JFA, makes the connection even worse.

Fuckin' idiot.

The youtube video was justifiable. The officer was completely in the law to tase the student.
But tasing 8 year olds for education? I hope they get punished.

I know it's wrong to but all I can do is:

Seriously, 50,000 volts? He couldn't have used a lower voltage for an example? The parents can't blame anyone either, they said 'why not?'.

Ugh, I was in school in Franklin County at that age. I even know a couple of people in law enforcement in that area. A lot of kids do turn out to be delinquents, but don't tazer them until they actually DO something. Idiot.

I should ask my mom about this. She's a teacher, and some of the older ones could have been her students.

That's some smart college education there. 8D

Now I can picture Gumshoe doing Von Karma's yell.

It is usually best to admit mistakes when they occur and to seek to restore honor.

Apparently the police officer had the kids' parents' permission to tazer them, but now the parents are suing. My mom thinks it was a setup. Either that or the parents were stupid and didn't realize that tazers actually hurt.
