Police who used a Taser to electrocute a 10-year-old girl for refusing to take a bath as her mother told her have been exonerated, and the girl in question has been charged with disorderly conduct.
Police were called to the girl’s Arkansas home after a mother become exasperated with her 10-year-old daughter’s refusal to take a shower.
An officer was dispatched to the scene of the disturbance, and arrived to find the girl curled up on the floor and screaming as her mother tried to force her into the shower.
Describing her as “violently kicking and verbally combative,” he saw no option but to electrocute her with his trusty Taser after she kicked him in, delivering what police innocently describe as “a very brief drive stun to her back,” after which the girl became compliant.
The girl’s father was outraged at the police decision to electrocute his daughter, and wonders what kind of officer is unable to subdue a little girl:
“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.
If you can’t pick the kid up and take her to your car, handcuff her, then I don’t think you need to be an officer. She doesn’t deserve to be treated like a dog. She’s not a tiger.”
Even the father seems not to express surprise at police willingness to actually dispatch officers to such an incident.
The local mayor has expressed his desire for an investigation, but the local police chief has refused to take any action against the officer, saying it was for her own good and that she might have had her arm broken if the officer had tried to forcibly handcuff her:
“We didn’t use the Taser to punish the child, just to bring the child under control so she wouldn’t hurt herself or somebody else.”
The girl was arrested and faces charges of disorderly conduct for resisting police efforts to jail her after she refused to take her shower.

So lets get our facts straight. An officer couldn't handle an UNARMED 10 year old girl. So he went through his options.
A. Overpower her (possibly breaking her arm).
B. Taze her (possible seizure, possible cardiac arrest)
C. Pull his gun out. (glad he didn't chose this)
D. Leave because its not a police issue.
Topping it off, they're charging a 10 year old with a crime? I'm sure she'll file a counter suit for "Use of Excessive Force" which will be taken far more seriously since it actually covers what the officer did!
Bloody hell do those people have rocks as brains?
"The girl was arrested and faces charges of disorderly conduct for resisting police efforts to jail her after she refused to take her shower."
I'm headdesking so hard my desk is about to break...
Me too ... it's just that my desk is hard enough to resist my head.
Maybe we should make the officers do that - to increase the actuall amount of blood (and thus oxygen) running through their head...
I'm not going to america.
NO !!!!

Which just proves that you know shit about having kids and are just getting a holier than thou attitude on us; I'd ask you to please cut the shit down but you already made yourself sound like a complete retard.
Listen dumbass, just like there's a difference between verbal abuse and mere scolding, so is there for spanking as punishment and plain physical abuse. Just like Cowextract has said there are too many little over-spoiled beasts out there because morons in the child care system can't tell the difference between a parent putting his kid in place (and showing him how things work to be a respectable person) and an abusive one. If they really think they can do better than the parent, why not let them do the raising?
So before you say shit about what a parent should or should apply to their child, learn a bit more about life. Just don't have any kids, we have enough morons infesting society as it is.
Fucking pathetic. Any cop who needs a Taser to control a 10YO girl should turn in his/her badge.
He/she would not even be fit to be a mall cop.
not even fit to be a mallcop's understudy
Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free? Land of the free?
Repeating things just makes you look like a dumbass.
I love America.
Fuck you! You american mother fucker!
WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA, WELCOME TO AMERIKKA
At least spell it "Amerikkka" to prove your point you dumb Eurocunt.
Wow, your world is composed only by America and Europe ?
What a small world you live in.
I hope they charge the cop who tasered her and transfer custody of the child to her father. This is child abuse and negligence. No 10 year old should be treated like this, not EVEN if she kicked the officer in the balls. I hope she doesn't suffer any long-term trauma, Jesus Christ, electrocuted by the police for throwing a tantrum... save the lolis...
It's Tendo Akane in the opening picture! We need more Ranma 1/2 opening images!
Little girl got a dose of reality and learned a valuable lesson: Don't fuck with police.
Fucking pigs, I think their whole damn department should go under investigation if they use a taser on a 10 year old girl. EAT SHIT MOTHERFUCKRES!
Having lived in Arkansas one summer the stupidity of either the citizens or the polices is no surprise to me. The thing you have to remember about Arkansas is that they are all related to each other:
100,000 people, 20 least names.
Sex in the South: It's all relative.
This really restores my faith in the correct upbringing of American youth. I say this with no sarcasm whatsoever.
god i hope she was white. :(
I've watched a lot of episodes of cops and I hate whenever they show police from the south. Southern police overreact about everything and then act like they're heroes after everything's done.
Those intrarasials are gonza kiss! LEZ GETZ IM BOZZ!
Police taser anything these days. It's really not surprising.
Perhaps I'm reading this wrong but..
Police enters scene, sees
a)10year old girl curled up on ground screaming
b)angry mother trying to force 10year old girl into shower with violence
Police decides "hmm, lets shock the a)10year old girl"
?!??!
If anyone was going to get the shock, shouldnt it be the violent mother for child abuse?
lol not even gonna comment on the girl ending up getting arrested part.
All this just reminds me of that VN Sharin no Kuni. Whats her name, the second girl.
"You must do everything your mother tells you to do without question or you'll be sent to concentration camp to be abused and tortured until you die."
More or less, I forget the specifics.
WELCOME TO AMERIKKA!
Hahaha, I bet you foreigners would look at something like this and say: "Hahaha, typical American home."
I'm American and this seems pretty typical to me.
I guess my post was a bit ambiguous. I should have just said 'I bet people will say: "Hahaha, typical American home.' This why it doesn't make it sound like I'm American (which I'm not).
Yep pretty much. But I'll say this. Us Brits will soon be under such level of stupidity of the PC Plods. It's already happened (G20 incident). Well at least you Americans aren't shouting pedophile every nano second like we are here, well I hope you aren't. According to our government everyone is possible a pedo or rapist...oh how can I forget haha silly me, I forgot a terrorist too. This is what you get for having politics rely on religious organizations to implicate laws. No seriously, our government does this.
Hey Artefact you should check out Daily Mail once in a while or Telegraph. You find some real BS from our MP's wiith the up coming elections and manifesto. Such as 1/5 children as young as 5 have watched hardcore porn and lead to touching themselves...yes I'm sure they're not just curious.
" but the local police chief has refused to take any action against the officer, saying it was for her own good and that she might have had her arm broken if the officer had tried to forcibly handcuff her"
HAHAHA, seriously America needs to watch out lest it become a police nation. The disadvantage of non-lethal armament is that it's also much much lower threshhold to use, shown beautifully in the story above.
Kid not listening? Taser it.
Somebody jaywalking? Taser him.
Person excercising their right to know about why the officer apprehanded them? Taser him.
Fuck you America and I symphatize with anyone living in America.
Police nations? If that 10 year old child lived in the inner city the cop could empty a pistol clip into her head, reload, empty another clip, then set her on fire for good measure and only get a 1 week suspension with pay while the "investigation is underway."
If you pull out your wallet in the middle of the night you're likely to take incoming missile fire from choppers.
I don't think ANY of the cops that hollowed out teenagers with their pistols EVER went to prison...it was always justified.
A guy named Ahmedoud Dihaolo mouthed off to the police in the station and then dragged into the bathroom, beaten, gangraped by the police, and had to have most of his intestines removed because of a plunger being shoved up there.
Police are fucked in the head.
It was SUPER EFFECTIVE though.
Loli got tasered... That's America for ya!
Daddy didn't want to have daughter tasered, daddy should have been there and put daughter in shower himself. Then he could have been arrested for being a perv and he would have been tasered.
Girl needed to get the stinger and dance to the tune! If she refuses to obey anyone, what do you wimpy people want, someone to sit down and hold her hand (and their nose)?
She needed to be put over a chair and a few whacks with a belt to clear her mind and reorient those rebellious atoms in her brain.
Only in Arkansa.
Sick Land is Sick and needs to get Bombed from this World :(
=_=.....and yet the law is always bitching about "child abuse" (a parent giving a child a whoopin).
oi! she has the right to be a "dirty little girl"! (YES! im talking in the perv-way! MUHUHUHAHAHAHAHAHA ~Evil-laugher~)
ok...ok...now talking seriously...a cop who tases a 10yo girl instead of simply aplying imobilization techniques(the "ITs" are something, well, basic for any police around globe) ... this officer's mind must be messed up!
you know, police men used to actually be men some time ago...
Maybe she wanted to take a bath instead?
bitch had it coming.
so i take it she won't have to worry about dropping the soap?

Why is anyone surprised? Our whole culture treats children like property, livestock to be herded around and "dealt with". If you don't change that, none of the rest will change.
Pay close attention...a mother called the police because her children wouldn't obey and the police forced her to submit using violence. There is no law stating children must obey their parents or take showers at their request. Children are citizens, and the Supreme Court has found again and again that they have constitutional rights, but they are treated like slaves whose only value is the adult they will someday become.
Now, society keeps asking why the kids keep getting less interested in being "good citizens", caring less about society at large, and why they are starting to take guns to school. I can tell you why...if all you can show them of the world they were born into is that it is going to exploit, brutalize, and abuse them, their abilities, and their person-hood, why the hell should any of them care about any of it? Why should they participate, obey, conform?
When the clearest message the world sends you from the moment you are born is that it hates you and wants to use you as a pawn for its own goals, the only rational, self-respecting thing to do it hate it right back.
Don't taze me bro
Well, at least he didn't tazer her while she was getting in the shower, that might've stung a little more....
Who the hell called the police in the first place?
I wonder why it was necessary to call the cops for not taking a bath? Surely it doesn't matter if she doesn't bathe for one day?
When reading this, and when I read that she was cowering in the corner, I couldn't help but think 'child abuse'. What is the reason this girl didn't want to get in the bath? maybe because she knows she's going to be sexually abused in it?
jailbait enters the jail
The father must be pissed off at the mom for involving police too.
The people in arkansas....*shakes head in disappointment*
In all actuality though, the only reason the man is in trouble, is because he did not have the camera attached to the stun gun that he used on the child. As they need to be used now for issued stun guns.
The man was given permission by the mother to taze the daughter, and he was suspended for a week, with pay. So a week off with pay.
this was a bad choice all around
give the child a real option don't fight them.. when it comes down to it, buy your own and make the CHILD realize that it is the adults wish for their best interest to do certain things. worse case scenerio, take child to a detention facility run by sheriff, put in drunk tank, firehouse wash.. teach the child don't fry the little growing braincells. if it continues, drop child onto the state after that.. i'm not a professional, but i know how to cause a problem.. best lessons learned are the hardest to teach.
Akane... loved that anime as a teen, seein this picture just kinda swirled my memories of it @_@
Who the hell calls the cops because their kid won't get in the shower? Just say "Fine, you don't get dessert tomorrow." or "Okay, I'm taking away your "
That's what my parents did.
shit he should of just used pepper spray and soaked her in it. she would of ran her ass into the shower to get that stuff off.
what kind of a mom actually calls the police on their ten year old little girl?
it only happens in america.
surely its bad not taking the bath since kids always smell cuz they r growing so they sweat alot (down there up there whatever u pervs XD) but to resort to use a taser on a 10 yr old girl is absurd. like the father said what kind of policeman can't control a 10 yr old girl with weapons? i dont even want to imagine what he would do if she didnt had stoped at the first time. but the main fault goes for the mother and perhaps the father as well, i mean how THE HELL r they educating her daughter? i dont aprove violence but some good 2 or 3 slaps in the face or in the butt is one way to subdue such a problematic child. its sad and sounds a bit barbaric but when the talk does work sometimes u have to resort to some little spanking, not by calling the cops. ps: when i say father as well its cuz hes "accomplice" for making that child so its not only mother's duty also the father's duty to raise and educate their children.
"She doesn’t deserve to be treated like a dog. She’s not a tiger."
---
So, a tiger deserves to be treated like a dog?
what about cat?
I was going to point out that the act of electrocution actually involves killing a person, but it seems someone beat me to it. That little word bugged me through the entire article.
it looks like it's time to bomb some more idiots off the face of the Earth
Should have rather use a tranquilizer gun.
I've been saying this all along, the South and Eastern states in the US are messed up. We never hear anything like this happening on the west coast now do we?
hahaha
electroCUTE
xD
i find the dog and tiger comment offensive. I love Tigers. why make a comparison? Tigers willingly swim and bathe in water. your daughter was just being a child. come on. Tigers act way better lol
apparently this "officer" is and an alphabetic the manual states quit clearly not to use the teaser on children.
It is upsetting the first time I read about this unfortunate story. This is what happens when society is all paranoid about girls being touched, an officer would rather tase her than simply hold her back from kicking with his hand lest he be accused of groping.
hey the image above looks like Akane Tendo from Ranma 1/2!!!
BAH it doesn't matter what the age of the girl is! She became hostile and needed to be subdued besides the only other alternative would be to pin her down and disable her which the father would then complain about physically harming her.
They used a Taser (a weapon that carries a very real risk of death, despite its classification as nonlethal)... to prevent the child from hurting herself...
You know, I'm starting to wonder about all that hearsay I've come across saying the average cop is of below average intelligence. Maybe there's something to it after all.
I have a feeling if they treated a tiger that way, they wouldn't live to regret it.
What...? This doesn't even make sense.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH US.
They are so retarded.
USA i mean.
"She’s not a tiger.”
reminds me to Taiga
Mother fucking bastard how dares he hurt a loli.
Under the exact same circumstances if the PARENT had tasered their own child, then the parent would be under arrest and facing trial for abuse.
That's a fact.
The police chief in that town needs to be fired and that cop needs to be suspended without pay for a very long time.
I agree since when does the police chief not answer to the mayor
BTW, type in your search bar for info on this.
tasered 10 year old girl
If you want a really good laugh, look at the 1st responses that come up.
Bitchy girl, violent police, TASER!!, girl arrested.
Very nice. That's the USA for you.
What third world country was this in?
what the fuck.
This is by far the stupidest fucking thing i've read in a while. How can a mother not be able to get her own daughter to shower ? Who the fuck tazes a child for this type of reason ? Seriously. If your kid doesn't brush her teeth you gonna bring in mike tyson so smash her face ? come on America stop being so fucked up. Stupid ass people..
America: Land of the Whopper.
It does seems cops are getting stupider every day.
You think they would have some sorta mental examination before and during training to weed out people unfit for the job.
Tasers are not safe to use on a ten year old and they don't know any better as far as respecting authority.
The father should get full custody of the child as the mother is obviously an unfit parent.
DON'T TASE HER, BRO.
Epic fail on the cops part. Parents of that tazed girl don't deserve to have her if they have to sic the cops on her.
I agree totally. The girl should be turned over to CPS immediately so that they can find her a home where the parents have some brains in their heads.
Yes, after the local government (police) has already made a fiasco of the situation let's give another level of government a chance. Idiot.
The world is going to hell soon. With the rise in numbers of moronic people, it can even be earlier than 2012
W8? Why did the mother call the police!?
The problem is two adults.. not being able to make their child take a bath. And then calling the police because of it.
Stupid police officer, but even stupider parents.
They should have called Chinese with flamethrowers.
Maybe there was a spider in the bath.
Lol what, parents can't handle their own 10 year old daughter so they have to call the police?
shitty parents or shittier daughter?
YOU DECIDE!
I bet that 10 years old girl was a fucking fat bitch with 200 pounds or more
The fact that this is actually very likely is the only thing keeping me from going on a rage-induced rampage right now.
Because fat children deserve to be tasered. >_> Idiot.
I just cling to whatever makes the utter retardation of the morons tasked with this world's law enforcement more bearable...
