[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 425750, member: 6546"] Liahona-- Yes, the bad news is you can be in big trouble with CPS for locking windows or locking a child in their bedroom. That said, WE locked our children in their bedrooms with their windows locked shut. Even though DS wouldn't sneak out, difficult child did exactly as Susie described and would use DS's room if hers was blocked. We used key-locks on the window panes. difficult child never could figure out how to get around that - though she tried to pick the locks all the time. When police came to our home, we were very up-front about the locked windows. I told them we felt that the odds of a fire are far lower than the odds of difficult child getting out and getting into danger....and they never gave us any trouble about it. on the other hand - a man we know was reported to CPS by his daughters for locking THEIR windows and he had to go to court, was ordered to remove the locks and had to attend court-ordered parenting classes. So it could go either way... [/QUOTE]
