Supposedly the boy had stabbed another person with what the police thought was a knife, he then fled into an empty building. Negotiation with the boy failed due to the fact that he had hearing problems and did not have his hearing aid during the incident, and police decided to use the Teaser when he came out again. Once he was tased the boy was taken to the hospital for observation and was released the next day. The man that was stabbed did not have life-threating injuries since he was barely hurt with the pen. Later on it was declared that the boy could not be judged because of being under 12 years old.
In my opinion this shows how crazy the world is going lately. It seems unmoral to use a weapon against an eleven year old boy, and it is even more unmoral to know that the boy had been drinking wine and had had previous violence issues. The education system seems to be failing along with morality and nobody is doing anything to solve this.
I agree with Eduardo. It is unbelievable that a grown up police officer uses a taser on a boy of only 11 years old. Acutally it is shocking that police officers in general do. I think it would have been better if they had informed themselves first about the "weapon" that the boy used, instead of asuming the worst.
