[QUOTE="slsh, post: 578645, member: 8"] We did this when difficult child was younger (5-6) due to his rages. It was an act of desperation and because we simply didn't know how else to keep him (and us) safe. At some point along the way, when I finally got professionals to really hear what we were dealing with, I mentioned that this was a strategy we had used and I was told that we could've gotten in a lot of trouble with DCFS for it. We always sat outside the door while he was locked in his room, but still... it's a no-no. Also had the cops called on us once for locking him *out* of the house during a rage when he was older. I'd really strongly advise you get professional input on this before doing it. Make sure it's documented in psychiatrist/therapist's files that you got input and instruction from a professional. I think this would fall along the same lines as doing restraints - you need to be trained and have the training documented just so that if/when she does mention that "Mommy locks me up", you've got backup.
