10 year old girl taser for not showering??

Polices were called to an Arkansas home after a mother called the police because her 10 year old daughter’s refusal to take a shower. An officer was dispatched to the scene, and arrived to find the girl curled up on the floor and screaming as her mother tried to force her into the shower. With the mother consent the police officer used a taser on the unruly girl when she kicked him in the groin. This raise the issue is it right to use a taser to handle a 10 year old girl. This story was brought up during my social problem class because we had been discussing the issue about family. The question is who is the most violence member in the family and most people would assume it was the father but it is the children in the family. He pulled up this story on the computer and asks us if the police had done the right thing. Most of the class said no and he should be fired from the job, but I think he hasn’t done anything wrong. The child assaulted him and he had the mother approval to taser the child. You see on the news of polices tasering old grandmas all the time; I don’t see the different in the two. Others said he could of use a different method to apprehend the girl like using a move to take her down or use pepper spray. I think that those options are worst then using the taser.
