I love how Fark has an icon dedicated just to Florida. And every day there are a few stories that just make you shake your head.

Today's news is that in Florida, they can't seem to muster up the legislative willpower to ban the use of tasers on children under 16.

The Senate Education Committee postponed the bills and chairwoman Evelyn Lynn, R-Ormond Beach, said she was unsure whether they would be brought up again. The bills were filed after police officers drew criticism for using stun guns against children, including an elementary school pupil.

The bills were introduced after Miami-Dade County officers used a stun gun on a 6-year-old boy who was wielding a piece of glass in a principal's office and on a 12-year-old girl who was playing hooky. The girl was drunk and, while trying to escape the officer, was about to run into traffic when she was stunned, police said.

A Jacksonville officer received a three-day suspension last year for zapping a 13-year-old girl at least twice with a stun gun while she was handcuffed in the back seat of his caged patrol car.

Wow, a six-year-old and a girl handcuffed in a cruiser (behind a cage). I'm sure she was a real threat, or she called the cop a sissy.

** FLORIDA UPDATE **
Only in Florida. A woman was arrested for making a "training tape" for her children to show them what she would do if the misbehaved. In the process she went apeshit on two of her daughters whipping them with an electrical cord, on tape.

Ah Florida. You deserve your Fark tag.
