Whatever... I was just trying to answer the question that you asked about the mother.

Actually, no, you stated that the article(s) was inaccurate. I appreciate your attempt to clarify however (1) the article(s) may very well be accurate; and (2) it only highlighted the mother's history with the criminal justice system as Kevin was doing.

Are there instances where GCers besides Kevin believe children should be tasered?

I work with 11-15 year old "children" every day. They can be extremely violent, think that they are grown, do not listen to instructions in the heat of the moment and are full sized humans. I can completely see an officer using a taser to subdue an unruly 12 year old. Based on my experiences in physically subduing persons this age, the taser will likely result in less physical damage to both participants.

To give one example: I am still dealing with a back injury that happened in November resulting from a 12 year old who was determined to get through me to finish bloodying another one who gave back her sweater smelling "musty." I can imagine that the rage of the 12 year who feels she is protecting her mother is far greater than one who is unhappy about her sweater.
