Talk:Physical restraint

Education section
I want to update the education section. Especially this part: "restraint may be used only when aggressive behavior interferes with an individual's own ability to benefit from programming".

In most states, physical restraint in education can only be used when their is risk or serious bodliy harm to students or others. Citing: http://www2.ed.gov/policy/seclusion/seclusion-state-summary.html

and an example here: "Physical restraint shall be used only in emergency situations, after other less intrusive alternatives have failed or been deemed inappropriate, and with extreme caution. School personnel shall use physical restraint with two goals in mind: (a) To administer a physical restraint only when needed to protect a student and/or a member of the school community from imminent, serious, physical harm; and (b) To prevent or minimize any harm to the student as a result of the use of physical restraint."

From MA regulations: http://www.doe.mass.edu/lawsregs/603cmr46.html?section=01

Can someone help me add those citations and/or the text?

Thanks,

I added some new information under the teachers/teaching assistant section as well as some background info under the mental hospital section. Lgeneseo (talk) 02:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Look, can we please lay off adding the sexual bondage images to this article: there's plenty of room for that in the appropriate articles. Better images here would be of handcuffs, or medical restratints, in a non-sexual context. -- The Anome 12:32, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

I agree I agree as well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.77.22.233 (talk) 16:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. The above comment from June 2005 addressed a page different from the current one. While there might be a point in adding photos of physical restraints on their own, I see little eroticism in the current photo but certainly it is quite an aesthetical image. --Klaus with K 19:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Inline quotes the way to go
While I welcome the references included with the recent edits, I wonder whether the way they are placed inline is the way this is done within wikipedia. Methinks &lt;ref&gt; tags would be more appropriate. -- Klaus with K (talk) 19:15, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion...I will work on it. I was worried that if I did it that way I wouldn't be able to figure out how to get it to the correct reference (as I wanted my references in alphabetical order, not the order they were used). I will try it, but if you have more suggestions on this please let me know! (Lgeneseo (talk) 21:19, 17 February 2010 (UTC))

Needs serious expansion
Nothing on restraint types, etc. I've redirected restraint chair here for now. Tijfo098 (talk) 11:49, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

ERB 'Emergency Response Belt'
UK Police go beyond 'cuffs - at least in 2000 they also used the 'Emergency Response Belt' which is pretty much a Straitjacket with handles for ease of carrying ! May depend where you live ...
