Associated Press | December 19, 2004 PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. -- Police used a Taser on a 12-year-old boy who attacked another special-needs student, the third time this fall authorities in South Florida have used a stun gun on children. Police said the student was Tasered on Dec. 10 after he tried to stab another student with a pencil on a school bus, then kicked and threatened an officer. The boy was charged with several offenses, including aggravated assault and resisting a police officer with violence. He was released from custody. Pembroke Pines police Cmdr. David Golt said the officer used the Taser properly. In November, a Miami-Dade County police officer used a Taser on a 12-year-old girl who was caught skipping class. Officials said the officer faces disciplinary action for inappropriately using his Taser. Two months ago, a Miami-Dade schools security officer used a Taser on a 6-year- old-boy. The boy was holding a shard of glass and had cut himself. |
