[QUOTE="klmno, post: 353790, member: 3699"] I suppose the laws vary from state to state on this as most laws do, but I think this is pretty typical- it is my understanding that it is illegal for a parent or school to lock a child up in a room that is not designated a safe place or otherwise physically detain them not only because of the risk of crossing that "abuse" line, but also because of preventing rescue in case of emergency. I knew of one family here that had a young difficult child and needed to lock him in his room during normal sleeping hours- it is ok if special permission and contact with emergency fire officials is established first. Otherwise, it was illegal. I would think that most parents of a child who had a specific diagnosis or safety issue that warranted a physical restraint like that on a child would have some communication with a therapist or psychiatrist- and while I am fully aware that the therapist or psychiatrist might not be able to provide a solution or anything more than trial and error tips, they should have told these parents that if there is that much concern for someone's safety the parents need to contact police and fire dept or dss to get that special permission. It wioll be interesting to see how this case turns out. [/QUOTE]
