Wait a minute...sweetie, are you mentally disabled in any way? I have noticed that you are not speaking clear English despite your age and I want to know if you are handicapped in some way? Maybe you need help that we aren't giving you?

Or perhaps English is just not your first language?

Are her parents abusing a disabled child? I don't know, that is what I am trying to find out.

Here in America the law protects disabled people from abuse. I think it is called The Americans With Disabilities Act.

She mentioned they locked her in her room for 4 whole days. My my. That does seem like a harsh punishment to me, but then again, she did do something really bad.

I want to know why the locks are on the wrong side of the doors! That's insane!

we live in an old victrian house in england, all the doors have locks on the doors, which can be locked or unlocked with a key, my parents didnt put the lock on my door just to lock me in the locks have been there for around 100 yearsl, we always keep the keys on the inside of the door, when i had a row with my sister i took the key from inside her door and locked her in, of course when i was locked in as my punishment my parents did the same and took the key from inside my bedroom door and locked me in as punishment, the door keys are quite large and are victorian , i found being locked up a hard punishment it was VERY VERY boring , ?

It sounds like you have great parents.

Au contraire! A family home isn't a jail. My mother was strict, but not abusive.

no i am not disabled in anyway , firstly i wasnt locked up for 4 days, it was 2 days but i was locked in from friday night until monday morning, it was a harsh punishment i had to eat in my room and was only let out for a shower in the morning and bathroom breaks, i found it a VERY DULL and MISREABLE punishment ?

if i am honest my parents arnt being abusive, they just wanted to to understand what my sister went through, and make sure i was properly punished so i behave in future is that fair ?

yes i think so, i

normally get on well with them and my sister, its just their punishments i dont like, why does punishment have to hurt so much ?

Imagine how much you hurt your sister. Yet, she forgave you. You have a great sister, as well. You are lucky.

Oh, dear! I think as a parent I would hide the keys and leave my children's doors unlocked; My parents were strict by American standards. I had no idea British child rearing was so harsh, I'm sorry for my ignorance.

its the first time i have ever been locked in my room as a punishment, i have been told to stay in my room but never locked in , its because i locked my sister in that my punishment was to be locked up ?
