There's obviously something wrong with the kid for her to be so crazy, and the parent is a bad mother for letting it get out of control and for giving permission for the taser to be used. However, when permission was given, then the police officer who tasered here is at no fault. He shouldn't have tasered her, but he was given express permission to do so by the parent and so using it to subdue the girl was a reasonable action on his part under the circumstances. He isn't at fault. But the mother is for allowing it in the first place.
On one hand, a ten-year old girl. On the other, she actually assaulted the officer. It's not completely justified and/or reasonable, and it's kinda strange that policemen couldn't just grab her, but... well. I can see why.
[HEADING=3]And hey, all people who say we should just beat our children! You know who, among others, was beaten as a child? ADOLF HITLER, that's who. No points for guessing the consequences.[/HEADING]

While I disagree with the notion of calling the police to deal with an unruly 10 year old who won't shower, I have to admit that I feel the officer's use of the taser was justified.
The child was combative, non-compliant, and verbally abusive. The officer also stated that he feared he could have injured her by forcing her into cuffs (possibly breaking a limb), so the taser was the best viable alternative. I would rather be tazed than break a limb. The pain of a taser vanishes in an instant, but the pain of a broken limb lasts for months and can be debilitating.
It's a freak'n taser! Yes, they inflict pain, but they are generally harmless and only used to force compliance. I have been tazed several times, and it is both TERRIFYING and painful, but it is over almost instantaneously. Very few people are actually harmed by tasers. The amperage they deliver is very low, and it is pulsed every milisecond or so.
I also feel that I should point out that many tasers used by police can be used without actually firing any projectiles at the target. They have a, "Drive stun," ability. This means that you can simply touch the target with the tip of the weapon and zap them with a single trigger press. This is the alternative to firing the hooks and having the target endure the customary 5 second pre-programed pulse. However, the article does not state which Taser International model was used.
Chances are she was either hit with an M26 or an X26

My point is, this girl will be fine. She likely learned a lesson and will probably think twice before going on a rampage and disobeying her mother again. If she has a mood/personality disorder that causes her to behave the way she did, then it is her mother's duty to get her help from this point on.

it was too much, it is first her mothers parenting fail, and police officers epic failure that he didn't hold back a 10 yr old while being an adult, groin kick is surely very effective, but that is only a kid, she is 10 years old and don't have as much strength as a full grown fat officer. this is ridiculous, officer should be ashamed when shown that 10 yr old is stronger, and he needs to use his gun.
This kid must have been pretty damned cagey if an officer couldn't subdue her. Later on in life, she should get into a martial art as a healthy vent for agression and a way to discipline herself if she still feels this agressive.
Really, I had to laugh when I read this because it's something right out of a cartoon sketch, crotch shot and all. I think some spanking is in order, though. I'd spank my child like I was spanked and tell them exactly why. Let's not go so far s to beat and scar the child, alright?
Tazers aren't overly lethal ,though, so, as long as the mother adequately explains that her behaviour led to this then I foresee no troubles. Then again, that may be difficult if the officer couldn't physically subdue her.
Hell, she's ten. Get her into boxing. It's great for discipline.
... Upon reflection, perhaps kick-boxing is best.

Much too much.
First off, you absolutely should not tase an unarmed 10 year old girl in literally any circumstance. Anyone should know that. Any police officer who doesn't understand that should not be a police officer. I don't know if he should necessarily be fired for this, but a suspension is certainly in order.
Second... was the mother a fucking dwarf? Or the daughter a giant? How is it even possible for an adult to lose control of a 10 year old? I'm calling bullshit on that.
If you're the kind of person who would call the cops on a 10 year old--your 10 year old--and tell them that it's okay to tase her, you should be kept far away from children.
The officer should have just written the mother a ticket for abusing the 911 system and left.
