DimensioN Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 Mom accused of using stun gun She is charged with child abuse after authorities say she zapped her 13-year-old daughter as punishment for using their home computer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related video SPRING HILL - A 54-year-old Spring Hill woman was arrested Monday after authorities said she used a stun gun to discipline her teenage daughter. The incident occurred about 6:50 p.m. Monday when Gail Broman of 12527 Drayton Drive found her 13-year-old daughter using their home computer and placed a stun gun near her ear to frighten her. The girl, whose name is being withheld by the Times due to her age, had been grounded for several days and was not supposed to be using the computer, according to a sheriff's report. Moments later, Broman zapped her daughter on the inside of her thigh as the girl got up from her chair and approached her mother, the report said. The girl was not injured, but received two red dots on her thigh consistent with being shocked by the small hand-held device, authorities said. She was taken to New Beginnings Shelter in Brooksville after the incident. "She didn't feel the full jolt," said sheriff's spokesman Lt. Joseph Paez. "It probably did not have enough time to recharge to its full voltage because it had been discharged moments earlier." Stun guns contain two metal probes capable of discharging varying degrees of electric jolts, which can cause muscle spasms and bewilderment. Depending on the voltage, stun guns can range in price from $15 to $100 and can be purchased in gun shops, through mail order or through the Internet. Paez said that stun guns are not illegal in Florida, though several states have banned models similar to the one Broman is accused of using.

AMDOCuser Posted June 15, 2003 Posted June 15, 2003 A friend of mine brought a stun gun to school once and came up to me in the lunch line and zapped the back of my calf. He had it on the lowest setting, so it didn't hurt, it was just surprising, but it did feel like a bunch of rubber band hitting the back of my calf.
