Dad accused of using stun gun on baby

10:17 PM ET

ALBANY, Ore. - An Albany father used a 100,000-volt stun gun on his 18-month-old son, police said Monday. Rian Whittman, 23, has been accused of assault and criminal mistreatment. Police said he used it "multiple times" over three weeks. A police spokesman said there were up to 10 instances.

Police said Whittman's wife, 21, who was not named, reported the abuse on Saturday.

The child was treated at a hospital, police said, and then taken into protective custody by the state Department of Human Services.

Capt. Eric Carter said the police haven't established a motive for the abuse, nor why it began about three weeks ago.

He said the device was not a Taser weapon, named for the manufacturer, but an older model that's applied directly to someone's skin.

I'm thinking a stun gun might be more appropriate.

Looks like another lawsuit against Taser. Calling John Edwards. I swear I don`t think there is a company that has been more sued than Taser, usually by crackheads who have heart attacks after being zapped. "My client did 50 pounds of crystal meth and 40 pounds of crack, but Taser must be held responsible! Yes they had every right to shoot him with a hand gun, but Taser must be held responsible!"
