I'll be very interested as to how this story plays out. I'm pleased the children are being evaluated. Something is very wrong here. Any sort of restraint or lock MUST be used with the full knowledge and support of the special services which work with the children. MUST.

4 boys removed from Vancouver home after 2 were found locked behind 'cagelike' bedroom door
"Child Protective Services has taken custody of four boys found in a Vancouver [WA] apartment, including two boys who were wearing diapers and locked behind a "cage-like" door...."
and
"An officer found two of the children, aged 5 and 7, locked in a bedroom where someone had replaced the door with locked barred door that opened inward and could only be opened from the outside. The other two kids, aged 11 months and 9, were not confined in this room.
Based on conditions in the apartment, Kapp said, police arrested 26-year-old Alayna M. Higdon, mother of the baby and oldest child, and her partner, John C. Eckhart, 30, who is the father of all but the 9-year-old boy.
