gerisullivanApparently parts of this have been reported in the news and around the blogosphere for the last couple of weeks, with the current story breaking on Friday, May 15th:
"TALLAHASSEE -- A total of 43 children were directly and indirectly shocked by electric stun guns during simultaneous ''Take Your Sons and Daughters to Work Day'' events gone wrong at three state prisons, according to new information provided Friday by the Florida Department of Corrections.
"Also, a group of kids was exposed to tear gas during a demonstration at another lockup."
Coverage in The Miami Herald.
AOL's AP coverage, with video with Corrections Secretary Walter McNeil.
It's not on Snopes yet; it appears to be real. The current stories say no kids were hospitalized; an earlier story says one was taken to the hospital. (And was therefore presumably then treated and released if the report was accurate.)
