I kind of feel sorry for the woman. I don't agree with chaining people, especially children, up, but I understand why she did it.  |

It's seems like people these days are so quick to press charges after the fact but no one has time to help before things get taken too far.  |

Ugh this is weird. What if they had to use the bathroom during the night? Or what if the house caught on fire? Not a good thing at all. If you can't handle your own children, there are services that will help you. She went too far by doing this.  |

I really don't feel bad for the kids. She said they were trouble makers and they got what they asked for. Sure, chaining them to the bed isn't actually appropriate but it's a good way to keep them out of trouble! LOL ~nimiwae~  |

I'm not sure what to think on this situation. I mean it is wrong to chain children to beds but then again if they refuse to listen... I just don't know. ~Gabrielle~  |

So a mom tries to keep her kids out of trouble and ends up losing them to the social services who will no doubt re-house them with a 'kinder' family...where of course they will run riot again! That's a REALLY good idea!  |

I agree with you to an extent Kelly. But even if I can see why she didn't.. she shouldn't have! She should have had THEM both taken into custody.. not by the DCF.. but by the police!  |

I say you go girl. The sad part about having to say that is I know from experiance what it is like to have a wild teenager(my niece) you cant handle. You beg for help from this agency and that but they do nothing until your chid has broken the law.My niece was using drugs, running away with older boys abusing family members stealing from family but until the police caught her there was nothing they could do to help. It took her stealing a car and then assulting a police officer with a bat before they finally tried to help but by that time it was to late she is now 18 and as messed up as can be. so I say hats off mom if thats what it takes than so be it because the local government or the government as a whole could care less what your kids do until they are caught and then it is your fault. ...  |

Hmm, sounds like maybe she has her hands full. I guess she couldn't think of anything better to do to keep them out of trouble. I hope they can get help.  |

Ritzbe, Your comment about fire reminded me of a case here in Texas. A father was convicted of putting three child-proof gates, stacked on top of each other in front of the door to his 2 year old twin girls room. They knocked over a lamp and started a fire and were killed. He has to serve something like 5 days in jail on the anniversary of their deaths for the next 10 years or so. I kind of feel sorry for him. He had to get chores done, but totally misjudged what he should have done to make that happen. Same thing with this woman. She just didn't know how to cope with her sons and was doing the only thing she could think of to keep them out of trouble. I don't condone it or recommend it, but I can see that someone in her situation might become desperate.  |

And I am surprised the kids never said anything to friends or the police themselves??? Interesting.  |
