PUEBLO, Colo. — Colorado sheriff's deputies shocked an "out of control" 10-year-old child with a Taser and arrested him.

Pueblo Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Teschner said Wednesday that the boy was not hurt when deputies took action Monday after arriving at his foster home, where he was reportedly destroying property. Teschner says deputies were justified in their use of force. The deputies say the youth threatened them with a pipe and a stick, and threw a piece of wood at them.

The boy was arrested on suspicion of menacing with a deadly weapon.

Last month, a police officer in a small Arkansas town was fired after using a stun gun on an unruly 10-year-old girl, not for using the Taser but for violating department policy by failing to use the camera attached to it.

Nothing warms my soul more than violence against children.

They were asking for it.

The kid was only tased once? Hardly a story.

That's nothing compared to the number of 10 year olds that taze themselves on a daily basis.

I still laugh every time I see it.

As funny as that is, would tazing your hand really knock you out? I thought it would have to go across some vital organs (read: hit you in the torso) for that kind of result? Or maybe cuz he was sitting in a chair and may have been grounded (electrical grounding, not disciplinary grounding)?

I think it was the blow to the face that knocked him out.

Now I see it. I'm still skeptical.

Try it, tape it, report back.

Send me a taser.

If I had a ten year old, I would tase them on a daily basis.

Not really for any specific purpose, just because it seems amusing.

There was some kind of gang of rednecks I went to school with, and apparently you had to let them shock your bare nutsack with a cattle prod as an initiation if you wanted to join them.

In Japan, that normally leads to the all male bukakke.

I support the tazing of children. Seems like a practical substitution for spanking.

How about I just punch you in the face and cut out the middle man.

No way. Millions of people get punched in the face every day. How often does someone punch themself in the face after tazering their hand?

Point taken.

I had no idea we went to high school together.
