Girl, 10, tasered by police with mother's permission: Officer Dustin Bradshaw used a stun gun on a 10-year-old girl after he said her mother gave him permission to do so. In his report, Officer Bradshaw said that police was called to the home in Ozark, Arkansas, because the girl was "violently kicking and verbally combative" any time her mother tried to get her in the shower before bed.
Officer Dustin Bradshaw said in a report that police were called to the home in Ozark, Arkansas on 11 November because of a domestic disturbance.
When he arrived, the girl was curled up on the floor, screaming, the report said.
Mr Bradshaw's report said 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," he wrote.
The child was "violently kicking and verbally combative" when Mr Bradshaw tried to take her into custody and she kicked him in the groin. He delivered "a very brief drive stun to her back," the report said.
The names of the girl and her mother were redacted in the report.
Mayor Vernon McDaniel said the girl wasn't injured and is now at the Western Arkansas Youth Shelter in Cecil.
Anthony Medlock, the girl's father who is divorced from the girl's mother and does not have custody, told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette,
My daughter does not deserve to be tased and be treated like an animal.
