[QUOTE="slsh, post: 223763, member: 8"] Mustang, when I read this this afternoon, the thing that really flipped me out was the atty saying the child was just voicing suicidal ideation to get attention. Are you kidding me? OMG - it's ridiculous and stupid and dangerous - and I think this really highlights why behavior plans are *so* important and we need to be vigilant. I think if you live in a state that doesn't have specific rules regarding these kinds of seclusion, and there's a chance that your child will be placed in a "quiet room" or whatever they want to call them, that you include in the behavior plan that parent will be notified within X amt of time. IL law specifies 24 hours I believe, notification in writing, for use of restraint and/or seclusion. Time out rooms were used in every Residential Treatment Center (RTC) thank you's ever been in - the last one was the very best set up because it insured that thank you was being monitored eyes-on. The only way the door could be locked was if a staff member was standing there holding a button *in* to lock it (magnetized lock), so there was no way thank you would be unsupervised in the room. Other safeguards were in place too, in terms of length of time, when a doctor would be called in to consult (30 minutes), etc. How can people be so utterly care-less. [/QUOTE]
