[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 461885, member: 1169"] State law is hancuffing the staff. The facility may not lock the youth inside the building or their room. Staff may not physically grab the youth unless they are deemed a risk of harm to self or others (the mere act of running is not considered a risk of harm). Staff has to try and prevent runs by standing in front of doors, talking the youth into not running, etc. When staff finds her, they have to verbally convince her to get into the van. The police can physically grab her if she ignores their instructions (justification: running away is a status offense so technically she is in the act of committing a crime). There is a 'safe room' on campus that can be held shut by staff but there is a limit on the length of time a child may be in there. Something like 15 minutes and they have to call a supervisor, 60 minutes and they must call the psychiatrist. I've been looking over the list of facilities funded by her grant. There are two that are slightly more secure. One - all the doors are alarmed and on a 10-second delay (unlocking 10-seconds after the alarm starts). It was the 1st Residential Treatment Center (RTC) she was at (yep, that disaster) but I thought maybe they'd have staff turnover in the last 3 years. Nope, they are under investigation by CPS for the highest number of runners of a facility in the state. The other one brings her too close to us. Guess I'll wait and see what clinical staff says.
