This morning while watching the Today show they had a whole segment on it spanking a child is it considered acceptable or not. So I'm curious to what your thoughts are, do you spank yes or no? If so are you a parent and do you spank when they get in trouble or maybe one of those protective (for lack of a better word) type of spank, like if the child ran out in the road you quick grab their arm pull them back and smack them on the butt saying you could have been hit by a car. As a child were you spanked?

Then while reading the news this morning I ran into this article that talked about how a police office uses a taser on a child. Wow I admit that one made me think WHOA! I don't know what is worse that the mom ASKED the cop to taser the child or that the police officer did.

According to a report filed by Bradshaw on Thursday, the officer found the girl on the floor of the house screaming and crying. She refused to follow her mother's instructions and the mother told Bradshaw to use his Taser.

Bradshaw carried the girl to the living room and told her she was going to jail, according to the report. The girl was violently kicking, the report said, and struck Bradshaw in the groin with her legs and feet. The report said Bradshaw administered a "very, very brief" stun with the Taser, put the girl in handcuffs and carried her to his patrol car. She was taken to the Western Arkansas Youth Shelter in Cecil.

I'm curious to what the girl did that made the mom call the police. Either way I think this was extream and both the mom and the police officer should deal with some legal issues to make sure that doesn't happen again.
