Corrections sergeant shocks kids with stun gun during prison visit
But wait, there's more!
Two other Florida prisons zapped visiting kids with stun guns
It was "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" at the Franklin Correctional Institution, and Sgt. Walter Schmidt wanted to give the kids an idea of what their parents do.He was fired, which is absolutely, completely appropriate, but what I want to know is: Why hasn't he been arrested for assault? It doesn't matter that he had the parents' permission. A parent can't give permission for someone to assault their child.
So he took out a handheld stun device and zapped them with 50,000 volts of electricity.
But wait, there's more!
Two other Florida prisons zapped visiting kids with stun guns
Two more state prisons have acknowledged incidents in which guards zapped visiting children with handheld stun guns, bringing to three the number of facilities where the unapproved demonstration was used on "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day."Hey, Florida, there's a reason it's not called "Zap Our Daughters and Sons with 50,0000 Volts of Electricity Day" -- because that would be insane.
