Tasers drawn on '400 UK children in 2013
The youngest person to have a Taser drawn on them was 11, while the youngest person fired on was 14, figures showedMore than 400 children have had tasers drawn on them by police in England and Wales in 2013, figures obtained by the BBC show.
The Home Office Taser database, seen by BBC Radio 5 live, shows a 38% increase on 2012 in the number of children who had a taser aimed at them. Tasers were fired 37 times at 10 to 17-year-olds.
Ex-Home Secretary David Blunkett, who introduced Tasers, called for a review.
The Home Office said Theresa May has asked for a review of their usage.
The figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request show the youngest person to have a Taser aimed at them was 11, while the youngest person fired on was 14.
The oldest person to have one pointed at them was 85 and the oldest person actually fired on was 82.
The Home Office has not released Taser statistics broken down by age before, and warns that they are not wholly reliable because the age figures may be police estimates.
Tasers fire dart-like electrodes into a person's body and are used to incapacitate suspects.
