Cop Tasers 10-year-old girl for resisting bedtime

0 votes

The local police chief in Ozark, Arkansas is standing behind one of his officers who tasered a 10-year-old girl who was refusing to go to bed.

The bizarre story is laid out in a police incident report obtained by website The Smoking Gun.

Officer Dustin Bradshaw was called to the home by a woman complaining that her daughter was being unruly and refusing to go to sleep. Bradshaw wrote that when he arrived at the home, he found Kiara Medlock "balled up in (sic) the floor crying and screaming."

After watching her mother attempt to get Kiara into the bathtub with little success, Bradshaw took the girl into the living room and threatened her with jail. That didn't settle things down. At some point, Bradshaw claims Kiara's mother told him to "taser her if I needed to."

Bradshaw then tried to handcuff Kiara. But he couldn't manage that either.

To hear Bradshaw tell it, he was now in the midst of a full-on brawl on the living-room floor with Kiara, a Grade 5 student. The 65-pounder was "verbally combative ... struck me with her legs and feet in the groin," Bradshaw wrote.

That's when he reached for his holster and delivered a "very very (sic) brief drive stun to her back with my taser."

Unsurprisingly, Kiara's struggling stopped immediately. Bradshaw then cuffed her and carried her to his squad car, since she could no longer walk. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/728622--cop-tasers...

Sounds like

momma got a thing for uniforms

If voting could really change things,
it would be illegal. Here is hoping for change!

my parents were simple people

they just used a rod on my butt. When I was real little I even tried that crying stuff and they just asked if i wanted a reason to cry. nuff said.

Well,

there's nothing like a warm glass of milk and a good tasering before bedtime. Next thing you know they'll be waterboarding the kids who refuse to do their homework.

LOL

Very sad scenario but LOL !

Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow

Ozark, Arkansas

'nuff said?

LOL.

crazy....totally off the chart crazy....

calling the cops on your ten year old kid???? huh????

the cops even responding the way they did instead of telling the mother she needs to take control of the situation or the next of kin willed be called to take temporay custady till she learns to be a mother???? huh????

then tasing the kid???? huh????

inept mom...inept cops....insane situation....

It has been an option for a long time

that, if you can't get control of a kid before they get bigger than you to ask the state for help. I don't think that's ever a good situation to begin with so I don't know if a lack of results is a condemnation of the practice.

I only know single mothers have the option of calling the police and saying they can't control their child and that calling in this situation isn't unheard of. I don't know what happens after that. I certainly hope what happened here is WAY, WAY out of the ordinary.

Yea ,,

absolutely insane

Why did they even respond to this call?

This is insane...calling the police for an unruly child. WTF!

I feel sick ...

"After watching her mother attempt to get Kiara into the bathtub with little success, Bradshaw took the girl into the living room and threatened her with jail."

Can you say sadomasochistic child predator?

The mother couldn't

taser her without going to jail so what bearing does her giving the cop permission have on it?

This girl is lucky to be alive.

Defend Liberty!

When are the "Good Cops"

going to stand up and be accounted for?

Ok, let me get this

Ok, let me get this straight. We can't physically punish our children anymore for fear of arrest or losing them, but we can call in a cop to taze them, and that's ok.

I say skip the middle man

buy a tazer and taze your own brats. :)

I saw a 9 year old kill a 13 year old with a Tonka truck to the head. I say taze'em.

I have a feeling the 9 year old

who killed had already had more than a lifetime's violence done to him/her already.

Defend Liberty!

It's about the LEVEL of violence.

Silly to not taze a kid to save another's life. Even deadly force is justified on the young sometimes. Columbine?

right because they are the

right because they are the "authorities" now
