Mum demands apology as son, 11, was Tasered after complaining he 'wanted Burger King'

The mum of an 11-year-old boy who was Tasered by police during a stand-off over a Burger King meal has demanded an apology for her son.

The youngster, who has learning difficulties and has not been named, was taken down by the 50,000 volt stun gun after being surrounded by officers at Craig Tara caravan park in Ayr, Scotland.

His mum said her son had been holding a butter knife after complaining about not getting a Burger King when the incident unfolded - and has branded his treatment “disgusting”.
