Mom accused of using child to block Taser


A Missouri woman is in the company of police due to her stupidity of trying to use her child as a human shield from being tasered by the police.

Maliea Martin claimed that her boyfriend had assaulted her earlier in the evening when police arrived at her apartment. While police were getting the story from Martin, Joshua McAtee walked out of the same complex and started to aggravate police. The police warned him that he was under arrest and to comply. Well, he thought he'd show off and decided not to listen. This is where Martin offered up her one-year-old child to McAtee as a shield.

There are just some people who should not be allowed to procreate.

Corrections sergeant shocks kids with stun gun during prison visit


When it's "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day," parents will most likely show their kids where their desk is, let them sit in their chair, introduce them to their co-workers, take them out to lunch, or maybe even let them try to do some of the work their parents do. BUT, if you worked at a prison, would you take your daughter or son to work for a day or even a few hours? Not to mention zap them with 50,000 volts with a taser.

That's just what Franklin Correctional Institution Sgt. Walter Schmidt did. He wanted to show the kids what their parents do. Mind you, he did ask their parents, and seeing as how common sense didn't exist in this group of people, they said ok.

The children suffered burn marks on their arms, and one was taken to the hospital. Schmidt was fired after 14 years with the Department of Corrections, and rightfully so.
