KATY, Texas -- Parents are asking questions about how much force officers should use on minors after a high school student was shocked by a Taser gun, KPRC Local 2 reported Monday.

The 15-year-old Mayde Creek High School student was the first in the Houston area to be shocked with a Taser gun.

Katy Independent School District officials said the freshman was sent to the principal's office on Friday because he refused to give up his cellular phone.

Officials said the principal could not get the boy to go home with his mother, so he called an officer for help.

The student took an "aggressive stance" toward the officer, officials said.

Officials said the officer shocked the 5-foot 11-inch, 200-pound student with a Taser gun.

The jolt was set at 25 percent, officials said.

Parents questioned how much force should be used on students.

"I don't think it's right, even if the student is disruptive," Florence Smith said

"The officer's goal is always to control the situation with the least amount of force necessary," Katy ISD Police Chief Mark Hopkins said. "There are times, however, that the situation escalates to a point where additional measures of control are needed, which can include a Taser."

The student was not hurt by the jolt, officials said.

"He's unarmed," parent Clara Parker said. "That seems to be excessive force on students."

Many parents agreed that force should be used if a student is acting out violently or is armed and is a threat to other students.
