any links into stats on how many service users have died during physical Restraint

[jarlathc]

just a quick question is there any site that would give the amount of deaths in services due to the miss use of physical restraint:(

[forumAdmin]

Guys there was a site years ago that showed child deaths worldwide or at least USA
can anyone remember the site?

Hi Jarleth

There is a site in the USA that collates deaths by restraint it is an organisation called caica (coalition against institutional child abuse) and it lists the victims and the details - it is harrowing reading. website address is www.caica.org there is also a related article by Nonno et al looking at deaths of children due to restraint in USA
