Would I go to jail?

[libertybear]

So if I have a 10 year old child (which I do) and this child got unruly and I can't deal with it and slap the child which doesn't work so I follow up with a stun gun knocking the child silly with however many thousands of volts and it was made public would I go to jail?

 

[esrice]

I don't know. Will the jury see this thread?

 

[lovemachine]

There's only one way to find out!

 

[Que]

If you live in Martinsville and on the police department, then no. If you live anywhere else, you may possibly go to jail.

 

[spasmo]

I think if you have to ask that question, you already know the answer.

 

[sj kahr k40]

Are you a Martinsville cop? If you are you will not go to jail, others I don't know.

 

[moischmoe]

If you're a cop, it's fine.

 

[christman]

Who doesn't taze their kids once in awhile? I can't be the only one?

 

[IndyMonkey]

Heck I taze my neighbors kids every once in a while for fun.

 

[Mr. Habib]

It's more fun to taze their cat, or so I've been told.

 

[shibumiseeker]

I thought only siblings were supposed to taze each other, as in: "Don't taze me bro!" I didn't realize it was also: "Don't taze me mom/dad!"

If your kids don't cower in a corner when they see you your not being a good father.

[clt46910]

I am pretty sure the tazer will be the thing that puts it over the top.

 

[esrice]

What am i missing???

It took me a minute too, but I think the OP is referring to a recent case in which an officer tazed a 10-year-old. However, the OP's question does make it sound like the child is YOUR child, versus just A child.

In my mind, there is a huge difference between "Can a parent rightfully taze their child" and "Can a police officer rightly taze a child".

If you live in Martintucky, don't risk going to the graybar hotel.
Just call the Morgan Co. PD and they will come to your house and gladly do it for you.
