Your honor - how many times have you been asked to send home a child in detention or juvenile hall here in the states for much worse?
Yes, being restrained would not be the desired result of a Cat 3 - what is a Cat 3 and why would restraining a calm child be required?
Did they simply bring this kid home or was there ever a lawsuit settlement?
And, because of the nature of this hearing there wouldn't have been any others that could testify it in more detail, or 'defend' the restraining as a way to keep a child from harming him/herself or others? Does it happen a lot more often in juvenile hall and other places where a child is placed against their will?
I guess we'll just have to wait for the class action suit to see.
