From [HERE] A 12-year-old girl in St. Louis was tasered inside a police station when allegedly attempting to intervene during her mother’s arrest. Dejamon Baker was shopping with her mother Charlene Bratton a Victoria’s Secret store when a St. Louis County police officer allegedly tackled her mother to the ground, the Daily Beast reports.

Baker stated during an interview with KSDK that she started to cry while at the police station and the officer used a taser gun on her. The St. Louis County Police Department spokesperson denied Dejamon Baker’s taser account, maintaining instead that the 12-year-old girl attempted to get “physically involved” in the arrest encounter.

“I had fell on the floor and couldn’t control myself I just kept on shaking. This one goes in my chest. It was stuck in there so she had to keep on pulling trying to pull it out,” Dejamon Baker told KSDK News. Baker told KSDK News. The preteen girl has taser wounds on her chest and stomach.
