Miami Police Use Taser Gun on 6 Year Old

Parents and child advocates were angered that Miami-Dade police used a stun gun to control a first-grader. The 6-year-old boy Miami-Dade police immobilized with a 50,000-volt stun gun stands about three-feet, five inches tall and maybe weighs 55 pounds. The boy, named after an Old Testament prophet, suffers from attention deficit order and takes a pill each morning to calm himself, his mother said. On Friday -- a day after the incident at Kelsey Pharr Elementary School became public -- the little boy sat quietly in his mother's lap, wrapped in a Mickey Mouse comforter. ''I never want to go back to school,'' he said. Then the first-grader tore out of his great-grandmother's second-floor apartment, scaled the steps, tussled with the dog, ran around the yard and rode his bike. ''He is a natural, normal kid. He rides his bike. He gets into it with other children. He throws water balloons, like any other child,'' said his mother, Kathy Rojas. ``The police could have handled this better. They did not have to shoot him. My child is not mentally ill. He is hyperactive. They could have tried to handle the situation with anything, with candy, toys, ice cream, anything.'' Miami-Dade police on Friday insisted they did the right thing because the officers did not have to physically manhandle a child who, they say, was armed with a shard of glass and threatening to cut himself. Still, the incident at the Brownsville school made national news and exposed the department to more criticism for its use of Tasers, which it has begun distributing in greater numbers to officers.

I'm sure the brat deserved it. What'd his father say? Nothing...he's in jail.

Thats just wrong... no 6 year old deserves it, you would think they would hold him down if they absolutely wanted to restrain him... NOT zap him

My name is Beatriz Luis Garcia, I am the mother of Leonardo, LEO.

On the afternoon of January 16, 2004, my 17 year old son "Leonardo Barquin", left my house and has not returned. It's horrible for a mother to wake up each day and not have her son, we're not prepared to say goodbye to them first.

He and a friend together jumped the fence of a house, the police say it was for robbery, but when they caught them, they had nothing, they were without cars or bikes, they were walking, it was one o'clock in the afternoon, and they didn't break any windows to enter the house. I think as teenagers, they were up to some mischief, their first mischief, and the devil crossed their path.

If "Leonardo Barquin" was doing something incorrect, he should've been placed in front of a jury for them to decide his sentence. "Jorge Espinosa" couldn't have killed him, or beat him then, he's a murderer, not a police officer, the boy was unarmed.

This Metro Dade police officer named "Jorge Espinosa" with records of "police brutality", shot my son in the back three times and beat him to the point where his casket could not be opened at the funeral because he was so disfigured. After he shot him,
