Could we discuss reality instead?
How can we get into the parent group on google? They must have a idea about what a body net is?
I know that the parents here on this forum did not place their kid in PV, but what did they think the body net and the jacket meant? They use so nice words, but do they fool anyone?
Zen: What did you think that they meant with the jacket and net before you actually saw it?
Settle: Did you ever discuss these items with your parents? Did they know what they actually consented to?
thank you - back to reality.
body nets have more historical use in prisons nowadays, they use it to restarin the psychiatric patients who "happen to be" incarcerated. Quite a few inmates have had "adverse reactions" to body nets - (ie - they died)
- they are considered the most restrictive - and people ususally end up in them for days at a time. I'm sure you can do a search on all the data that's been taken on the mortality of using these devices in institutions. it isn't pretty.
as the cwla site states, it's difficult to do studies on TBS's , maninly because they are not regulated and therefor hard to track and quantify. It's apples and oranges - anyone who can quantify that data is clearly blowing smoke where the sun doesn't shine (ie. TheWho).
It's chilling to think this devices are used on children as a matter of course and first line of defense, rather than a last ditch effort.
You think if you were paying someone in excess of $60,000 per year, they would be better able to handle problems with "troubled adolescents" - rather than resorting to brute force.
It's sad.
Sadder still, are the people who actaully rally around the sadistic forms of treatment in the name of 'therapy' and "helping".
