A mother from the US has appeared in court after being accused of using a stun gun to get her teenage son out of bed for church.
Sharron Dobbins, from Arizona, is said to have used the device after the boy refused to wake up for Easter services.
She denies actually using the gun. Speaking to Fox 10, she said: "I did not touch him at all with the taser. I made the sound with the taser."
Police said two small bumps were found on the leg of her son.
She's been released on bail while the gun has been confiscated.
