[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had kids at asfs for over a decade and never heard of this.  One of my kids was literally strangled five years ago (had bruises on his neck for several weeks, they called an ambulance at the time), and the kid who did it was not sent to a restraining room.  [/quote]

Not OP but they are not talking about interactions with other students. They are talking about restraint/seclusion by staff.

Ok, but if there’s ever a reason to retrain a kid strangulation would be at the top of the list. [/quote]

Actually no it isn’t. A seclusion room is for kids who are out of control and cannot be managed by other less restrictive means. Use is not necessarily based on the behavior but rather the ability to calm down and get back under control. What happened to your kid sounds more akin to a school fight which typically ends as soon as the kids can be separated. A seclusion room would be more for the situation where a kid is destroying a classroom.

This is not to minimize what happened to your child. But you really don’t seem to understand when seclusion is used. [/quote]
You are responding to a different person btw.
The kid who strangled my son had issues, he strangled three other kids in extended day earlier in the year, and had thrown scissors at another kid in my sons class earlier that week.  My son was in first grade when it happened, it wasn’t a school fight and in retrospect was really really disturbing.  There was a hearing about the incident— the kid who did it was essentially expelled because they thought he was a danger to other kids.
Either way I have no idea if there is a restraining room— any idea where it is?  I’m guessing the trailers?  There aren’t any secret rooms that weren’t turned into classrooms in the year before covid, so I don’t know where they would have had it.  [/quote]

It’s doubtful that the kid was expelled. School systems are obligated to provide an education for all kids. If mainstream was not successful, the school would have had to place him elsewhere - either a different public program or a private school. The alternative placement would be at the school district’s expense. I’m sure this was tough for all involved. [/quote]
