Police Taser 10-Year-Old Girl for Not Taking Bath

I haven't gone to Sankaku for a while, but now when I did I found this article, and I wonder what you guys think of it. Imho, wtf is up with the US? This is completely retarded.

"Hey, what should we do now?"
"I know, why don't we waste some tax payers money to go taser rage on a child, that seems fun!"
"Hah, yea, and then we should totally arrest her afterwards like if She was the one at fault."

Lol. So they arrested a 10 year old girl for not taking a shower. That's normal. XD But I can see where they were coming from. They still didn't need to tase the girl though. They should've at least bribed her with candy or something to take a bath.

Lol, yea, maybe, but in what kind of retarded country does the police even answer to a case like this?

Who knows? I think the dad is the only somewhat sane person there. Lol. But it's also the mom's fault because she's the one who called the cops on her kid anyway.

The UK telegraph is a conservative paper that likes to report isolated instances like this to make USA look bad. It also is know for telling half-truths... much like sankaku. But besides that... the girl should of just taken a bath.

ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG! NEKO-CHAAAAAN!

so let me get this straight....a trained policeman had to use a taser on a 10 year old girl throwing a tantrum.....wtf....

Good. That's what that dumb kid deserves for not listening to her parents in the first place.

Dawww... what a cute way to derail a thread... lol.

Since USA can't look much worse in the eyes of anybody else than themselves it isn't really needed.

Even if it's a half-truth, I can't find a neede to taser a child anyway, for not wanting to take a bath. If don't want, well then let her go around smelling like shit, eventually she'll do it. If you call the cops just cause of that you shouldn't be allowed to raise a child.

Safety procedure. If you call the police, they're gonna show up at your door whether you want them or not.

Yea, but when they get there they should leave a bill for having their time wasted, not be stupid and actually attack the child. What I know it's not against the law to not take a bath.

Yup, if you call and even say, "opps, accident!" They'll usaully call you back a few moments later to make sure everything is okay. If you don't answer they'll send somebody over to the house. Thats how it was where I lived anyways. Since this happened in Arkansas though, I wouldn't be suprised that it happened out in the red neck country hills of Arkansas. Which is why I think the UK Telegraph doesn't need to report this. It makes the backwards parts of america look like they represent how America as a whole behaves.

I have my doubts on the validity of the story. Sankaku? That already makes it less than 10% true and sourced from Telegraph U.K. which is about as shady as Sankaku is? Why not a source from a U.S. newspaper? Yeah, I don't buy it.

i second this

Just the mom calling the police on her own 10-years-old child for any reason (except the child trying to commit suicide, which I highly doubt happened in this case) is enough to make the US look bad. Fuck teasers or dispatching the officer, just the fact they were called is more than enough. End of story.

Candy? Oh yeah I can see how well that would work out.

"Melissa just get in the shower with Officer Williamson."
"No you can't make me"
"But he has CANDY!"
"Omigod!"

I question the legitimacy of this, because if this happened this story wold have been all over the news. NANCY Fucking Grace would have been all over it bitchin about how much is excessive force and stupid shit like that. I mean FOX news would have said something about it...

I expect pretty soon they'd taze a kid for not brushing their teeth. I'm in agreement with the father with his view on how the policeman could not subdue a 10 year old that then had to resort with the taser.
