In one case, a group of children were told to hold hands in a circle before one of them was shocked with a stun gun and the shock ran round the group.

Haha awesome! I'm sure they weren't hurt or anything, it's stun gun not a bare electrical current.

circle shock

rofl

So they were showing off their "toys" to their kids. Wouldn't the purpose of gathering in a cirle and holding hand be so that they can feel a light shock instead of the full power? And IO ould think a healthy teen (they said ages were up to 17) could take a full shock from a stun gun just fine. I'm assuming it wasn't against his/her wishes. I've seen demonstrations of stun guns before, it doesn't do permanent damage.

A stun gun delivers an electric shock intended to disable someone temporarily, without resorting to firearms.

Hard to take anything in the article seriously when the last line is blatantly false and unresearched.


...not that I'm condoning using stun guns on little kids for fun or anything.

Ant, you mine as well just come out and say that you like tazing little kids for fun. It's kind of obvious...

As for the article, I laughed when it said that parents gave authority for their kids to get tazed. What kind of parent would give that authority? And furthermore, don't the kids have any say in it? The whole thing is absurd to me.
