Zusammenfassung:	Reflections are offered on a study by M. Nunno, M. Holden, & A. Tollar (2006) of 45 child & adolescent fatalities related to the use of restraints in residential placements in the US, 1993-2003. Their article confirms the general lack of attention to this problem among both mental health professionals, government officials, & the public. Moral & ethical implications of ignoring the abusive use of restraints & other issues in institutional care settings are discussed, & implications for research, practice, education, & policy are considered.
