If the mother gave him permission, she probably needed it. I'm sure I'm shocking everyone here.

My daughter won't take a shower. Save me!!

let me pick myself back up from the floor.....I've known some completely out-of-contol kids. Sounds like this girl needs to learn some harsh lessons before she's too old. tase away..

To be quite blunt with you, I wish someone had done something like that with me before I hit 18. I was a punk between the ages of 18-21 and did manage to get myself tazed (I deserved it) as you, I think, have brought up. I'm not saying that tazing children in general is a great idea, but if the parents are game and law enforcement thinks it's appropriate, it may do more good than harm. Remember the Proverb, ...."a rod for the backs of fools."

Isn't that called a vacation?

How about a good old fashion spanking? That's what I would have received. Besides, a stun gun is dangerous to a child. Was there really no other way to physically control a ten year old girl? Come on, folks!

Now we are using police to make kids take showers? What a great use of law enforcement... NOT

I wish I lived in the "leave it to Beaver" world you live in. We have 10 year olds today being tried as adults for murder...maybe...just maybe, this girl was beyond spanking. Or, better yet, let the teachers spank at an earlier age.

...being the single father of 3, I have had my share of run-ins with my child-units. My daughter, who is now 17 and has had ADHD since 4, has now been diagnosed as being bipolar. Anyone with a child with any of the above challenges...I feel your pain. Moving forward: I would never in my life consider (although if I had one SHE would have been the first) tasering my child OR being such an idiot as to call 911. I guess everyone has their breaking point....I took mine to a psychiatrist, got her on the right meds and now she is a quite fun to be around, does well in school and she is so happy to have that episode of her life behind her. It's not the answer for everyone, but it was MINE.

I'm glad things worked out for your daughter. Sounds like she had her problems....however some children may behave more violently than yours did...some cut, some withdraw. I'm also afraid that if your daughter is bipolar her problems may not be behind her. I also know a loving, intelligent parent (not an idiot) with 3 kids who has recently had to call 911 on her 15 year old, as instructed by the childs counselor.
