Corrections sergeant shocks kids with stun gun during prison visitIt was "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" at the Franklin Correctional Institution, and Sgt. Walter Schmidt wanted to give the kids an idea of what their parents do.
So he took out a handheld stun device and zapped them with 50,000 volts of electricity.
The children, whose ages are not available, reportedly yelped in pain, fell to the ground and grabbed red burn marks on their arms. One was taken to a nearby hospital.
DOC spokeswoman Jo Ellyn Rackleff said in an e-mail, "We believe that a number of children may have received a shock."
Schmidt, the arsenal sergeant at the Panhandle prison, said he asked parents for permission to shock the kids.
"When they said 'sure,' I went ahead and did it," he said by phone Friday.
