Police Taser 10-Year-Old Girl For Not Taking a Shower
An Ozark, Arkansas, mother practiced tough love this week by calling the local police to Taser her daughter. The crime? Not showering.
According to Officer Dustin Bradshaw, police were summoned to a home in Ozark, Arkansas on 11 November on grounds of a domestic disturbance.
Contrary to popular belief, showering does purportedly take place in Arkansas and apparently, the girl in this story refused her mother’s orders to take a shower. She threw a tantrum. Apparently, this qualifies as a domestic disturbance in Ozark, Arkansas.
When officers arrived at the home, they found the girl kicking and screaming, curled up on the floor.
The police report specifically documented that the girl “screamed, kicked and resisted any time her mother tried to get her in the shower before bed. “‘Her mother told me to tase her if I needed to‘”, said Officer Bradshaw.
For some odd reason, some townspeople are upset. The town’s mayor is calling for an investigation into whether the use of a Taser was necessary. Ozark, Arkansas, is currently conducting an investigation to see if the use of a Taser was necessary on a ten-year-old girl who didn’t want to take a shower.
Now in defense of the cops in this case, the child was “violently kicking and verbally combative”. We all know that combative words from a ten-year-old can really wound the soul, and you add to that some ten-year-old girl kicks…the officer may as well been holed up in a gulag. The brutality.
I’m sure it was no coincidence that after the girl decided to kick the officer in the groin, he appropriately retaliated by giving her “a very brief drive stun to her back”.
I’ve seen Taser videos, and of course I’m not an expert, but it seems to me that even an instant Tase will lay out a grown man. I’m going to guess shooting a kid, in the back, with a Taser is going to knock her the hell out and be traumatizing. That’s just speculation though, we should officially investigate it.
Mayor McDaniel reports the girl is not injured and is at a youth facility in Western Arkansas. He wants the police or FBI to conduct a full investigation into this case. Police Chief Jim Noggle has not taken disciplinary action against Bradshaw, Noggle citing that Tasers are a safe way to subdue people who are a danger to themselves or others.
“We didn’t Taser to punish the child – just to bring the child under control so she wouldn’t hurt herself or somebody else,” says Noggle. The letters B.S. may be going through the minds of some of you readers right now, and you’re probably right.
This is all speculation, again, but I’m going to assume there is not a good reason for a cop to Taser a ten-year-old who is throwing a tantrum, though that goes all out the window if she kicks you in the groin. Then again, at that point a cop is retaliating if he decides to Taser a girl after she kicks him in the balls. Plain and simple.
A ray of light and logic in this case comes from the girl’s biological father, Anthony Medlock:
“My daughter does not deserve to be tased and be treated like an animal.”

wow a completly logical story presented with real though concern and effort thats quite rare here
as for the story itself even if we asume it was for the childs own defense wouldn’t a trained police officer be able to subdue her with his body strength? sure that too might hurt a bit but i doubt it’d be the same as a taser
also how is a trantum doestic violence? sounds more like bad parenting to me

so when ever you find yourself in a situation you can’t deal with yourself you should be able to call the police and have them taser people who don’t act as you want them too?
should i be able to have the police taser the guy who stands to close to me on the train? what about the guy i don’t know who stops me in the street to ask me a question?

No, you shouldn’t necessarily have to call the police for those situations. But that is why each and everyone of us should have the right to carry a tazer with us at all times.

Shameful_Truth you are a genius. Having tasers by our sides is a great idea. This could teach children to behave properly. I love this idea.

why stop at tazers, we have the right to carry weapons why not exercise it
personally i always carry a magnum on my right hip and knife in my boot
if children wanna act up and go mad all we have to do is exercise our second ammendment, the right to bear arms and gesture threatingingly with them

Yes! Exactly! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been out at a nice restaurant (Mexican or Chinese only, of course, so that I’m not supporting White slavery), trying to have a romantic dinner with my wife, and some little 2 year-old stinker at the next table has ruined the evening, and I thought to myself, “If only it was legal for me to give that little poop factory a quick zap…” I’m sure some of these no-good liberals will say I’m being extreme, but if you start ‘em young, it cuts out a lot of work later on. By the time the brat’s three or four, you’ll have him trained well enough that all you have to do is pull the tazer out and they’ll shut right up asking their little questions.

your not being extream you are being stupid
would it work? yes it’s actually been proven that negative reiforcment every time you do something wrong will make a kid stop doing said thing
the end result: a kid that can’t function properly in society as well as a
have a high posibilty of phsycal and mental handicaps from the trauma
sure they do what we want but soceity won’t have anyone to progress forward.
also who decides whats disturbing peace? if i see your child praying to god can i tase it since i find that disturbing?

i can’t beleive that a “christian” website would put such a skewed view of this story on the internet. the girl wasn’t tasered for not showering, she was tasered for assault. ppl like this are exactly why america is in such a sad state. liberals want to cry because children are getting fat because they don’t go out and play and that the ones that are outside, vandalise, destroy and steal but you are the same group crying because children don’t listen to their parents who aren’t even allowed to tell them they are being bad i’m glad the officer tased her if he hadn’t we would be commenting on how he grabbed and torqued her arm and now she has bruised and sore joints because the officer manhandled her

only in america would a taser be need to teach manners
you see in the rest of the world we avoid these situations by beening good enough parents that this isn’t nececary
i’ll agree that in this case had he not used the taser he would be forced to use his phsycal strength but then again if he’s able to show just the least bit of restraint he could do so and cause far less damage than with a taser
the fact that she kicked him in the balls have nothing to do with it
if his natural reaction to being kicked in the ball is fireing his taser on a 10 year old he sure as fucking hell isn’t suited for police work

I don’t know about you, “sad america”, but since when can a ten-year-old girl assault a full grown man, armed with a gun and carrying a Taser. Also, if you read carefully you’ll not he Tasered the girl in the back. After she kicked him in the business. That was simply retaliation and if he has any decency, he’ll hand over that badge or at least apologize. You don’t Taser ten-year-old girls.

that’s why this is a sad america because only in america are the police made to wait until they are attacked before they are allowed to defuse the situation or take action that will prevent further harm to others or themselves. this nation has become a haven for criminals because they have more rights than the law abiding citizens. i’m not even 35, and had i pulled this stunt, my father, who was devorced from my mother already also at her age, would have handled the situation, and i definately would not have attempted to assualt a police officer. the majority of the children in this country have no respect for anyone, that is what caused this problem.

doing that to a girl of that age can cause serious health and mental issues and this was not ok whatever happened to right from wrong and basic human compassion shes a child and tazering is morally questionable anyway let alone do this to a child of ten and to call the cops cause she wouldn’t take a a shower no i belive she called not wanting to deal with the issues and wanted someone else to deal with her what kind of a mother gives permission to tazer her 10 year old child and in some of the videos almost seemed like she didnt even care this was wrong the mother should have known better and the cop should have known better

wow, that poor girl is ging to need massive therapy for years! Plus now she is likely to hate and fear cops for the rest of her childhood and probably well into her adult life. All for being like any other ten year old and not wanting to take a shower. This is so sad!
