Much has been said about the length of the duct tape and its inability to stifle a child. One problem I see with this is, I believe, people are not taking into consideration the much smaller surface area of a child's face. A six inch length of tape would never work with an adult, but would be sufficient over a child's mouth as it would probably extend the full width of the face.

I've also wondered about the lack of tongue impression.

Would a frightened child make the attempt? Would her thought processes be at a level where she was capable of thinking of removing the tape? If she had been stungunned, I doubt it. I don't think the tongue thing is a basic instinct of our species so it would take thought to decide sticking your tongue out might remove the offending tape.
