I feel for you. that thing dosnt look comfortable. i sure wouldnt be able to sleep in one of those things.

Anyone who takes away someone's liberty for their own paranoid idea of what safety is deserves neither liberty nor safety. Class-action the a**holes. Sue them and the people that said this was okay and gave them permission.

Not sure that you can do that in Finland. but i suggest acting nicely, and you might get out faster.

Wow. That must not be fun.

I'm in a situation similar to yours, in being that I am trapped somewhere where I cannot leave. I call it an institution, though it's technically kiddie jail (I'm 17), and it really hurts to hear that you're restrained to the bed at night (though being locked in your room isn't great either).

I don't know what else to say.

FTR,
it sounds like they may be breaking both human and disability rights or laws there-am recommend getting in contact with local legal advice people [is there a community legal team,or citizens advice place] or those who know a lot about disability rights online-if would like,am can pm a link to a great disability forum where there are a lot of users knowledgeable about the rights side,or if would prefer,am could post something about it,and send the link to it.
am have never experienced such restraint objects-even at school back in the abusive eighties and nineties was restrained by people power-the high secure unit at DD/LD institution am used to live in used physical intervention,not objects despite it dealing with the most challenging auties,MRers and lders in the service.

am do not understand why europe can be so different-fair and unfair,even though they are all close countries.
do not accept this,get as many people involved as possible-local papers etc,mp...they should not be using restraints instead of staff,the residents should have a right to be free-are not sectioned and it isnt a young offenders home so should be treated with as much right as everyone else,they need to give the staffing to allow physical restraint,but this sounds like theyre trying to stop funding as much as possible,sounds exactly like what residential,supported and group care is like here,using the cheapest way around things-dont let them get away with it because given a chance they will,its taking away right,are being treated like a prisoner who has done wrong.

ya made compliment via e-mail im not going to argue about this i just writed straight where money comes and my spycolosic will support me just takes 2-4 days from em to read it and take actions

update: they got more money>more staff at nigth sfith >no more being forcet to use em at nigth so now again they are only allowed to use em on meltdowns

Excellent.

I hope they were only doing it, at all, as a temporary measure.

There are certainly instances where a person might request the use of such measures on themselves. E.g. a person who suffers from night terrors, who does cause themselves bad injuries, even broken bones.

Being involuntarily restrained, purely for the convenience of the establishment - that just isn't acceptable.

ya at least it shouldnt be but acording to them they can restrain u for your own safety if u headbang when u meltdown but that should be only temporary what i been told
