She was obviously a threat...

So the "Only One" Tazed her. The issue? She was 11.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida elementary school student was tasered Thursday after punching a school security officer during a fight.

The incident began when teachers at the Moss Elemenary School in Orange County confronted an 11-year-old girl for allegedly attempting to push another student into ongoing traffic outside the campus, MyFOXOrlando.com reported.

Authorities say the young female ignored the teacher and walked inside the homeroom, where she was again approached by teachers over her behavior. The student responded by thowing a desk and chair and attempting to spit on the instructor, according to MyFOXOrlando.com.

Donna Hudepohl, a school resource officer called to remove the troubled girl from the classroom, was allegedly pushed and punched in the face during a struggle to restrain her.

Hudepohl responded by tasering the girl.

The student was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disrupting a school function as well as resisting with violence and is being held at the juvenile detention center.

Hudepohl was treated for a possible broken nose.




So an adult, highly trained in techniques to deal w/ physical confrontations, can't handle a hostile ELEVEN YEAR OLD!? Why am I reminded of the officer who called for backup when he tried to harass a group of Girl Scouts and the mom's started yelling at him?

Truth be told, I've seen 11 year old girls going 5'10" and 200+ pounds.

I am not even exaggerating. Not one bit.

This "little" beast was 5-foot-5, 170-pounds. Little piece of crap belongs in a cage. I also expect its brood sow to submit a request for reparations shortly.

Good think it wasn't an 11 year old boy; they would have had to call for backup.
