Is It Legal To Put Your Kid In A Straitjacket?

[Gina124]

I have a friend who I just discovered uses a straitjacket on her 11 year old whenever she is home. She allots her 2 hours to eat, shower, and do homework before placing her in the jacket until morning. She went on about how using it helps her kid with sleep and to stay out of trouble and how great she does in school. I told her that I did not think it was legal to do this, but she insisted is was. She told me it made her life so much easier and even offered to get me one for my kid. Does anyone know if this is allowed or not? If it is, then I might just have to take her offer and get one too lol.

What country are you in? This will not be legal in the UK, it is child abuse.

[Ringlet]

I agree, definitely child abuse.
What a terrible thing to do to a child.

It's a helluva first question!

[douglas9401]

I know who needs a strait jacket, possibly a rubber room too.

[barry1010]

We can only hope it is not true, ellie

If this isn't a wind up post, then it's definitely child abuse and reminds me of this:

The OP knows this information and is asking in aQ&A site. Lol .

[Barsel]

I don't have a kid, not too keen on goats.

[lankeela]

I know a few ABers who could do with being put in one.

Having looked at this for as second time, I think it if definitely a wind up post.

Hi Gina,

Yes! Keeping kids in straightjackets is perfectly legal and, I would argue, preferable. Kids can be terribly disruptive to ones personal life so keeping them bound is definitely a bonus in my opinion. However, I think your friend is missing a trick in that she’s failing to put electrical tape over her wayward child’s mouth. This is crucial. It’s no good having an immobile minor if they’re constantly moaning and groaning. That kind of nonsense needs to stop toot sweet. Electrical tape can do wonders for the eradication of unwanted verbiage.

"If this isn't a wind up post"

Seriously? You truly can't work out who this is...?

Are you

[LadyCG]

If I thought this were true I'd be absolutely horrified but I'm not taking this question seriously.

To the OP ... get a life.

Could you please send an adult sized Straightjacket?

For me to wear,,

[construct1245]

I'm not sure if I believe this but if it is it's definitely illegal

[Hopkirk]

My dominatrix makes me wear one.
I don't mind.

[Riley99]

I'm sure there are plenty of parents that would want one, and certainly plenty of kids that need one.
