Tallahassee, Fla:

New reports indicate Florida correctional officers may have used stun guns to shock children as part of demonstrations at prisons in the past, perhaps as far back as six years ago.

The Corrections Department has completed its investigation of the incidents and released nearly 300 pages with photos of children who were shocked with stun guns in April.
