The Associated Press is reporting that the police tasered a wheel chair bound, double amputee twice because they claimed he was uncooperative in turning his two-year-old over to Child Protective Services. So far no one has said why Child Protective Services was taking his child.

This story will most likely end up on my list of the top ten Child Protective Services horror stories of the year.

In the video below, the father says that his daughter was sitting in his lap the whole time this was going on. For the police to use a taser on this man in the presence of his daughter, when it was not necessary, is a form of child abuse as far as I am concerned. But then the police and child protective services often abuse children in the very act of taking them from their parents.
