How do you control juvenile kids without it being considered child abuse?

Question

I was wondering because im going to apply for a correctional officer job at a local juvenile and wondered if they wre to attack you, or fight eachother, how would handle it without them wanting to press charges on you for child abuse?

Answer 1

They will teach you how to hold them and restrain them the proper way. Which is never easy,but these kids need guidance and they need structure. Good Luck.It takes a special person to deal with the juveniles in our system.

Answer 2

Don't worry.  In your orientation, they will tell you what behaviors to look for before a fight even happens, and how to deal with it.

Answer 3

wat u should do is beat them when thier disobident thats wat happens in china and other countries like russia

Answer 4

If they attack you, you'll do what you were trained to do.

Use enough force necessary to gain control over the individual. This will vary from inmate to inmate.

Remember, they are CRIMINALS!!!

Not innocent little children that are doing the right thing.

And if they're fighting, be sure you have back up before stepping in. Because you're still the enemy of both inmates even though they are fighting each other. THEY WILL TURN ON YOU!!

Answer 5

In most countries, the government puts you through a training course that also teaches you how to handle juveniles and if you follow these rules, you will get along fine.
