CARRABELLE, FL (AP) -- A Florida corrections officer has been fired after zapping children with 50,000 volts of electricity during a "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" tour. Department of Corrections Secretary Walt McNeil has ordered an investigation of the April 24th incident at the Franklin Correctional Institution. Sergeant Walter Schmidt says the parents gave him permission to shock the children with a handheld stun device. Such devices are typically used to subdue unruly or uncooperative inmates and must be in direct contact with the person to deliver the shock. Schmidt was fired. Warden Duffie Harrison said Schmidt zapped "at least two kids." Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
