A Parent's Guide to Protecting Your Child...
« on: October 21, 2007, 05:44:07 PM »
This is from APRAIS.org, and it's been up before but there are new people browsing.  There's a "No Consent" form on pg. 15, indicating you won't permit restraints to be used on your child.  Worth a shot.

An extract:

The Myth of Safe Restraint

For many years, service providers and staff trainers
have searched for a perfect, safe method of
restraint. We now know that no such thing exists.
Not only are psychological risks present with each
restraint use, but physical risks now appear to be
inevitable.
Children with disabilities can be medically
complex. Many are chronically ill and may suffer
from pre-existing conditions such as sleep apnea or
difficulties in the regulation of body temperature.
The prevalence of gastrointestinal problems makes
many children especially susceptible to aspiration
(choking on food or vomit) under stress. Another
risk is thrombosis (clots in veins) which can form
during prolonged restraint in one position. Many
children are being medicated with pharmacological
agents that may be cardiotoxic, precipitate
arrhythmia, or trigger respiratory problems or
electrolyte imbalances, particularly when they
interact with the intense agitated states and surges
of adrenaline that occur during restraint.
Then there is the human factor. When staff pit
their body weight against a child’s smaller frame,
especially when the child may be agitated and in
distress, the result can never be certain. Terrified
children fight back, and restraint situations can
escalate rapidly and unpredictably. Staff may
continue a restraint until the child stops struggling,
not realizing that the child is actually struggling to
breathe. There have been many cases in which
children have died due to restraint for a minor incident that escalated out of control.

How about issueing each child old enough a .45 pistol? I think that might cut down on the number of transport agents and such.

Might whittle down the population of sadistic moronic parents as well.

Excellent idea! I'm not sure if a .45 would be the ideal pistol, but it's a damned good plan!

A .45 is an excellent choice for two reasons: Its man-stopping power and its kick/noise.

The kid is not going to go firing it at random. It fucking hurts too much to use it frivolously. It's going to ring in his ears and slam backwards into his wrists- and believe me, he will need both hands- every time he squeezes that trigger. It's big and heavy and will probably elicit reactions of "Where the fuck did you get THAT?" rather than merely "Don't shoot".

We should include this as part of the annual "Weapons for Tots" Fornits giveaway/fundraiser.

Zen Agent - thanks for posting a valuable link for parents. Shame on you Crash Test Dummy and thought criminal for derailing and making fun of this information. Apparently you are more interested in your own entertainment than in alerting propective parents to the dangers of programs. So... let me get this straight. What you really want is for more parents to send their kids to a program so you have even more targets for your nonsense and your porn and all the other crap you waste time and space on.  You guys really suck.
