Even in the US and Europe, they are children with severe problems of control. Most are institutionalized, so people do no see them, but every so often restraints have to be used on them (i.e. variation of Strait Jacket or the more modern concept of a "psychiatric belt buckle"
. Now, such restraints are only used when they is no other option (i.e, a Padded cell, or the patient left to do the rampage for the area is structured to permit such outbursts are not realistic options and medication is not effective OR viewed as the worse option i.e. a five to ten minute rampage is preferred to a drug that will put the child under for three to six hours).
Please note I am discussing worse case children. In my Social Security disability practice I have run across just one or two in over 20 years of practice. Such cases are rare, but they do exist. A restraint is often preferred to drugging these children, for the drugs have worse long term affect on such children. Restraints are the last resort, but can still be effective in some circumstances. Thus every country retains the right to use such restraints, but restrict the use of such restraints after everything else has failed.
