Mother accused of Tasing, belting 6-year-old son for disrespecting her 
 
 A Houston woman is accused of using a Taser, a belt and slapping her 6-year-old son because he disrespected her, according to court documents. 
 
 Whitney White was charged Thursday with felony injury to a child for the July "whooping," though she also admitted to police that she'd Tased her son last winter. 
 
 "My anger management class told me not to Tase him but we didn't go into what else to do," the 27-year-old told police, according to court documents. 
 
 When police interviewed the boy, he had a bruised face, welts on his arms, and a laceration caused by a belt. He told police his mom had hit him at home in late July. And in November, he said, his mom had Tasered him when he got in trouble at school. 
 
 "From zero to 10, it hurt 10," he told police. 
 
 White didn't deny her son's charges, and even expounded upon them. The latest outburst of violence came as the two were studying in preparation for the boy's first-grade year in the fall. 
 
 The out-of-control mom admitted to police that during the study session she'd hit her son - but only because he'd disrespected her and refused to study. 
 
 "First I smacked him with my hand and that's how he got the bruise on his face," she told police, according to court documents. "The mark on his arm that broke the skin was caused by a belt." 
 
 The mom admitted to "whooping" the boy, hitting him once with her hand and five times with the belt. 
 
 "It must have been too forceful because it broke the skin," she said. 
 
 "It was because he told me no and that is a sign of disrespect. I am just trying to help him learn." 
 
 The earlier Taser incident came after the boy got in trouble at school. 
 
 "When I tried to talk with him about it, he didn't want to discuss it, and he was running away from me," White allegedly site. "I picked it up and Tased him with it." 
 
 Child Protective Services now has temporary custody of the boy and his sibling, a 2-week-old baby. Both children are staying with a relative, a CPS spokeswoman confirmed Monday. 
 
 "This is a CPS issue, not a criminal law issue," White's attorney Brian Warren said Monday. "It's discipline that went a little too far." His client has been taking parenting classes and attempting to comply with CPS requirements, he said. 
 
 "I think she'll learn from this and she'll be a fine mother," he continued. "I do expect this case to be dismissed after Ms. White completes both anger management and parenting classes as prescribed by CPS." 
 
 White was picked up by police last week and later released on $5,000 bond. She's due back in Harris County court in September. ||||| MIAMI (WSVN) - Police took a 7-year-old boy away in handcuffs from a school in Miami after, they said, he attacked a teacher, leaving his parents distraught about the way authorities and school officials handled the situation. 
 
 Cellphone footage shows the child in handcuffs after the alleged attack. His mother was brought to tears at the sight. 
 
 “I feel like my heart is broken,” said the boy’s mother, Mercy Alvarez. 
 
 “I was in shock. Shock,” said his father, Rolando Fuentes. 
 
 School police said it all started at the Coral Way K-8 Center in Miami, Thursday morning. 
 
 The boy had been taken out of the cafeteria for playing with his food, and that’s when, according to the report, he “attacked the teacher by repeatedly punching her on her back, in the hallway.” 
 
 Once the child was restrained, the report said, the child continued to fight the female teacher with his fists and legs. The two then fell to the ground, but it didn’t end there. 
 
 The report said, while they were on the ground, the student continued to fight the teacher, “grabbing her hair and pulling it towards him” before he was restrained once again. 
 
 The child eventually calmed down and was taken to the principal’s office. 
 
 The teacher told police that she wanted to press charges. 
 
 “Says he’s a danger to society. I said, ‘What? Seven years old? A danger to society?'” said Fuentes. 
 
 The boy’s parents have a problem with what happened after incident. 
 
 They said they came to the school to talk to the principal and counselors and agreed that their son would be suspended for 10 days. However, the officer told them that she had to arrest the 7-year-old or take him in for psychiatric evaluation. 
 
 Speaking through a translator, Alvarez said it’s not a mental health issue or an issue with aggression. 
 
 This wasn’t her son’s first run-in with the officer. He was accused of kicking a teacher back in November, but it was resolved with the school. 
 
 Alvarez said a psychologist said her son was OK. 
 
 While the boy’s parents wait to see what happens next, they have continued to demand answers, because they believe the handcuffs crossed the line. 
 
 “We have to make justice,” said Fuentes. 
 
 In a statement, Miami-Dade Schools Police Ian Moffett said that similar incidents are rare, but, “This action was warranted to prevent his erratic and violent behavior from bringing further harm to others or himself. The manner in which he was transported to the receiving facility was done in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures.” 
 
 School police said this incident is under review.

Houston woman Whitney White, 27, has been charged with felony injury to a child for abuse that included abusing her son with a stun gun when he was 5 years old, the New York Daily News reports. The boy told police it happened last fall after he got into trouble at school. "From zero to 10, it hurt 10," he said, according to court documents seen by the Houston Chronicle. White is also accused of hitting the boy, now 6, with a belt last month. "My anger management class told me not to Tase him, but we didn't go into what else to do," White told police, according to court documents. The boy and his sibling, a 2-week-old baby, have been placed in a relative's care by Child Protective Services. "This is a CPS issue, not a criminal law issue," White's attorney tells the Chronicle. "It's discipline that went a little too far." He says he expects the case to be dismissed after White completes parenting and anger management courses.
