Like the Bible, that cutting-edge guide to child-rearing states
"Spare the Taser, spoil the child"...or something like that.

An Arkansas cop has been suspended after tasering a ten-year-old girl
who repeatedly "screamed, kicked and resisted" when her mother
attempted to get her to have a shower before bed.
Officer Dustin Bradshaw was called to a "domestic disturbance" in
Ozark on 11 November, where he found the girl "curled up on the
floor, screaming", according to his report.
Bradshaw wrote that the girl was "violently kicking and verbally
combative", and noted: "Her mother told me to tase her if I needed to."
When Bradshaw attempted to arrest the child, she kicked him in the
groin, so he gave her "a very brief drive stun to her back" of "less
than a second", as police chief Jim Noggle put it. Bradshaw was then
able to handcuff the subdued perp and she was taken into custody. (...)
