Do we know why the child was locked up?

Does that matter.

You do not lock any child in - anywhere.

Why would you lock a child up for no good reason?

Why would you lock a child up for no good reason?

Was it harming itself? Harming others? Being disruptive or violent?

There's no allusion to it in the article.

If the child was harming him/herself - definitely not a lock situation.

If the child was harming others - definitely not a lock situation.

Read the article - the keys were not easily found.

Really Icy I would not like to be one of your children, especially one who has Autism Wow talk about child abuse

If you lock these children up it just makes it worse

So many people go off half cocked these days without bothering even to look into reason things happened .

Everyone is a photographer , taking videos of the end product , no idea or care how things start or why , make their own assumptions with incomplete details.

I have a grandson on the autism spectrum

He is very high functioning

Never treated him by locking him in a room when he got fustrated

There are many levels of autism, no doubt some may be a danger to other students in a classroom.

Do you know why the child in question was locked up, LR?

It's not about your grandson.

Many years ago, I had a regular school run where the passenger liked to pull the upholstery apart. Seats, roof lining, anything he could get hold of.

After running it past his mother and warning him of the consequences (he wasn't as thick as he made out), I restrained him on every trip. Until suddenly he stopped trying to destroy my cab.

Like I said, he wasn't as thick as he tried to make out, but even as a teenager he was trying to play the disability card.

Didn't, doesn't and never will work with me. I know a lot of people with disabilities and I know the ones I have respect for, including my best mate and my partner, don't pull that.

So, I would like to know the full circumstances of this incident before I would even venture an opinion.
