[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 266922, member: 1550"] They use "safe rooms" in psychiatric hospitals for adults. I have been in a hospital three times and was put in the "Quiet Room" (as it was nicely called once) because I "complained" too much (I wasn't getting the right medications and the nurse wouldn't call the doctor, so she got the doctor on call to "punish me.") They didn't call it a punishment, but it was. I was an adult and I freaked out and started banging on the walls so they put me in restraints. I will never forget the fear. This isn't humane for an adult, let alone a child. Why is a SCHOOL even allowed a safe room???? I would not have had respect for the para's authority. My sister is a para. She has no training for it at all. Most of them don't. The teachers make her do most of the work because they don't want to. They sit and talk and send the paras to "specials" with the kids. My sister really has no idea what to do with the kids as she has had exactly 0 hours of training. I'm one to overstep "authority" that isn't worthy of respect. Marg, you're way more polite then me. My kid would have been out of there long ago. And I would have been calling the newspapers and radio stations. That is outrageous. Your poor little boy. [/QUOTE]
