The voltage of Tasers is higher since their goal is not to "scare an
animal" but to temporary block the muscles of an adult person.
Tasers should NOT be used on kids, unfortunately american police is
using them in a very irresponsible (and stupid) way shooting at kids
I believe one of those "kids" tasered was over 6 ft and 220 lbs.
The term "kid" or "child" is too often incorrectly used.
IMO,it's used more to evoke an emotional response than to accurately
describe.(for an informed opinion)
Hi...
Hey, a child is a child is a child. A legal definition in
each and every state/province/whatever. And I'm willing
to bet that every statute refers only to chronological age.
Period. A child the size of a small elephant would still be
a child. A child with the brain of an Einstein or one
severely handicapped is - a child.

A "child" the size of a grown man is every bit of a threat as a grown
man,and can do as much damage as a grown man.
Some "children" are already vicious criminals,some already have
intentionally killed people.

The mind of a child, the behaviour of a child. And deserve,

Even a "child" can cause great harm to others.
Especially a 6ft,220 lb "child".
