Perfect for those that hate their children.

Duh, it's a medical device to hold them still for stitches and IV placement. It's not for the public, so parents don't get ideas!

glacius3000 · 2012-10-14T04:33:00+00:00

They put my little brother in one of these when he got his stomach pumped. He swallowed some pills and had to be taken to the hospital. They didnt want him to move and rip all the equipment out.

Hithenameisbj · 2012-10-14T06:40:24+00:00

My aunt works in a special needs school, some kids are mentally handicapped, some have bad anger issues. Anyway shit gets real prison yardy there sometimes, a mentally challenged kid ripped a teachers ear off once. If a kid turns violent they use special wrestling moves and devices like this to restrain them.

Optional Crown of Thorns if additional martyrdom is required.

It's the new My Little Jesus set from mattel

Jack_Half-a-prayer · 2012-10-14T05:35:41+00:00

I was put in one of those when I was 6 because I was trying to hit anyone who would touch me. I had my ear nearly cut off with a wagon handle.

TheNightsBane · 2012-10-14T06:14:24+00:00

Perfect for the Roman Empire too!

anathema30 · 2012-10-14T06:15:14+00:00

Perfect for scared kids, huh? You mean once you take it out and they see it?

tuckfenpin · 2012-10-14T06:16:55+00:00

I remember getting into one of these as a child, calm and collected. As soon as stitches went into my lip I screamed my lungs out

IAteAMachine · 2012-10-14T04:27:12+00:00

I'm not sure these people know what the spread-eagle position is.

Fluffyunicorn12 · 2012-10-14T04:40:57+00:00

I was strapped into one of those when I was little after I ran into a railing and my two little bottom teeth went through my lip... Hahaha to say the least It was traumatizing and I'm convinced it caused my fear of claustraphobia ...

Lilzillaz · 2012-10-14T05:27:00+00:00

I used to get strapped in to one of these every time I went to the dentist. I haven't been back since I was like 12. I have black teeth but my sanity is intact!

essenceofmeaning · 2012-10-14T04:46:32+00:00

i was strapped into one of those when i was little!! they're awful and i loathed the doctors for years because of it. damn, i thought i'd suppressed that memory.

Fancy_Frogglin · 2012-10-14T06:15:39+00:00

You're actually in something like this for a C-Section. Not a fun time. Then it is sorta. Then it's not fun again.

that_car_girl · 2012-10-14T06:16:27+00:00

I Got out of one of those When I was like 5. Grandpa is a dentist. Fun times

needsmusictosurvive · 2012-10-14T06:19:46+00:00

upvote for literally four minutes of laughter

Crownowa · 2012-10-14T06:43:19+00:00

Seen these type of restrainment units used at the dentist.

well_hello_there · 2012-10-14T06:43:42+00:00

All right, I don't have kids, but from what I understand, it's ridiculous. I am fairly sure you don't have kids either, because people with kids, I think, understand the desire--the need, even--to occasionally immobilize their children with velcro.

Campollia · 2012-10-14T06:51:23+00:00

Oh god, i just remembered a nightmare i had was actually real.

was a little kid, and got hit in the face with one of those Nintendo 64 duck hunt guns, and got taken to the hospital, where i freaked out when they gave me stitches, so they had to put me in one of these things. That, plus shoving a needle in my face freaked me out soooooo bad.

They are pretty effective though, if you want to also traumatize the kid at the same time.

TheeFlipper · 2012-10-14T06:51:49+00:00

What are they doing to Jonathan Lipnicki!?!

Psych277 · 2012-10-14T06:53:33+00:00

I work in a juvenile detention facility. I wish we could legally use these.

generichenle · 2012-10-14T06:55:57+00:00

While this does look pretty... Stupid/scary. It does serve a good purpose. While helping out the Special ED class at my school. There was a student that would hit himself on the head repeatedly, even to the point where he drew blood. So we would have to use this type of device for a few minutes for him to calm down. So I could give the classic, "well it's for his own good." but that just sounds wrong.

Jatacid · 2012-10-14T07:06:29+00:00

They used to use these in dentistry lol

DocWarlock · 2012-10-14T07:18:39+00:00

Once upon a time these kids were too pussy to get a frisbee out of a tree. I gave no fucks so I went to go get it. While climbing, I managed to catch a branch in the eye, it tore my eyelid and I needed stitches. They had to put me in one of these.

dorky2 · 2012-10-14T07:22:00+00:00

Must we have this conversation every couple of months? These are for kids with disabilities, and should only be used when their safety depends on it.

mirglof · 2012-10-14T07:26:41+00:00

it was weird when i read that there was a spread eagle position and only became not weird when i saw in the comments that these aren't for public use.

DavidJudilla · 2012-10-14T07:30:05+00:00

This is actually a big deal in the medical field. There was a news headline about a dentist who forced child patients to use this and not telling the parents that they were using it.

Crimyote · 2012-10-14T07:32:04+00:00

I love how the kid in the picture just has an expression of, "This shit again? Seriously?"

TiredMedic · 2012-10-14T07:32:26+00:00

This is also used for children who've possibly sustained an injury to their neck or back, as an immobilizer. preventing further injury. also the arm restraints are great if their care provider has to start an IV.

MiddAlien · 2012-10-14T07:32:47+00:00

Am I the only one who got stitches as a kid and wasn't restrained?

snuffs · 2012-10-14T07:34:26+00:00

Great for crucifixions as well as water boarding!

Troyster94 · 2012-10-14T07:36:44+00:00

Looks like a very fucked up rape toy

alwayswithglee · 2012-10-14T07:42:25+00:00

They're used in hospitals. I'm not going to lie. I was totally strapped into one of these when I was a kid. I had an allergic reaction to an insect bite and they had to draw blood. I was trying to run away. I ask myself sometimes, where the heck was i planning to go?

toofine · 2012-10-14T07:47:33+00:00

Or for people who really love children, amirite?

wanker_bob · 2012-10-14T07:47:49+00:00

When I got stitches as a kid I had a cute nurse hold my hand.
Not so much luck these days.

It's for neck or spinal injuries.

mrshootzy · 2012-10-14T04:09:20+00:00

Perfect for your everyday child rapist available at your local CVS or Walgreen's.

CoyoteStark · 2012-10-14T05:45:18+00:00

That's gonna lead to some weird fetishes later on in life.

Rabbl · 2012-10-14T06:12:18+00:00

Honestly this could REALLY go wrong.

Skulljanik · 2012-10-14T04:45:24+00:00

Also used for immobilization during circumcision.

Absolum · 2012-10-14T06:07:57+00:00

/r/atheism could prolly put this post to even better use. This is hilarious.

zorospride · 2012-10-14T06:42:58+00:00

This was probably invented by a Therapist to ensure future business.
