Two police officers called to a central Indiana home daycare to subdue an unruly 10-year-old boy have been suspended after one used a stun gun on the child and another slapped him in the mouth.
The child suffered no significant injuries in the incident, which happened Tuesday.
Both officers have been placed on paid administrative leave while the confrontation in Martinsville is being investigated.
'It's not really made for 10-year-olds.'
—Jon Davis, Martinsville police chief
Martinsville police Chief Jon Davis said he believed the two officers could have restrained the 94-pound boy without using force. Davis said the Morgan County Sheriff's Department was investigating and an internal review was planned on the officer's use of the conducted energy weapon, commonly known as a Taser.

I wouldn't have just suspended them, I'm sorry, but if you can't work out the mental math that tasering a ten year old is a bad thing to do, you need to not be wearing a badge. I'm a big fan of cops and all, but come on, this is just insane.
