It could be classed as abuse Muffy, NO child is allowed to be sat on a 'naughty chair' or locked into a room. |

You can remove a child to a safe distance from other children. |

I have not problem with any teacher disarming a child and placing the child in isolation, However placing the child in a "lockable naughty cupboard' is not isolation its imprisonment plain and simple, If i locked my child in a "lockable naughty cupboard' social services would remove the child from my care for child abuse and i would probably end up in front of a judge to answer for my actions |

It may have been a lockable room...but the article (unless I'm missing something) doesn't say they actually locked the door? |

Restrain the child and call the police and social services - let them deal with it. |

The answer is as Guinevere said, Restrain the child and call the police and social services - let them deal with it. |

Teachers couldn't allow a child to roam 'armed?' with a knife. |

I dont think thats what they get paid for. Its for teaching our children an education. As Muffy said I wouldnt want to be a teacher. |

BarbinSG, Sorry but you are wrong, Read my post again, The police and social services, Do get paid to deal with situations like that and teachers can restrain a child until such time that the police arrive |

The child was a danger to anyone in proximity, restraint is very difficult to define it has degrees. The more physical restraint can be viewed as assault. |

The nine-year-old had been disarmed. We do not have the full details of why he had the knife in the first place |

They'd already disarmed the child safely and restrained him. That is acceptable. |

Restraining a child doesn't mean in chains! ....more a controlled space ie a room/classroom with an adult in there also. |
