Adoptive Parents Indicted for Restraining Adopted Child to Prevent Self-Injury
Adoptive parents Kathy and Steve Rhoten have been indicted on two counts each of criminal restraint for tying their teenage daughter to the adoptive father's belt and then to the sofa to prevent her from self-injuring. The daughter had been hiding knives, pins, and other sharp objects for cutting herself. The child has been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) but was not diagnosed until after she began cutting herself.
This story is tragic on so many levels. Where do I even begin?
