Quoted in Sky News Exclusive - Police taser children aged 10 and 87-year-old pensioner amid sharp rise in officers firing devices - 11 August 2021

Quoted in Sky News Exclusive.

Sophie Khan, a solicitor who specialises in cases involving Taser-related injuries, said the use of the weapons on children and elderly people was "disturbing".

She told Sky News: "The use of less-lethal weaponry is a last resort and should not be used on children and on the elderly, who by their nature are vulnerable.

"The police forces need to recognise that Tasers are not the answer to each and every police interaction."
