“You can restrain a kid without hurting him.”
Yes you can but you shouldn’t try until you have
been properly trained. I know because I make a
living working with SED kids. More than 40hrs/year
training is mandated. At the beginning of each physical
intervention training the instructor passes around a
list of children unintentionally killed by group home
staff who are just trying to keep the kid safe. We
each read a short passage about a killed kid to the
rest of the class and it is a real eye opener. The
most common cause of death is from asphyxiation.
Yes, I do martial arts, specifically Judo. So I have the training on how to subdue someone safely without injuring them.
