Chained To Couch

Disabled boy allegedly was chained to couch

SOUTH SALT LAKE - A 14-year-old boy who police say is "severely mentally challenged" was found tethered to a couch Wednesday. Police arrested the boy's uncle, Tai Ngo, the boy's primary caregiver, and booked him into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of felony abuse or neglect of a disabled child. Ref. Source 6

Couch Chained

I am unsure on this. He was on a tether that allowed him access to all parts of the apartment but yet he was in a diaper? His cousin stated that he chases people through the hallways so he needs to be restrained. The police BELIEVE that he may have been locked in a room with nothing in it? I think we are not hearing the whole story here. I guess for now having this child and his 12 year old brother in protected custody will help us get some answers.

I don't know the challenges of this kid but there are better ways to handle this type of situation. It's plain wrong to have a kid chained to a couch.

Yes there are better ways but some of those ways have to be taught to the child as they are learning and growing. Sometimes it is the fault of the parents. I would hope that who ever has this child now can over come some of the reenforced actions taken by his family.
