That's one suggestion. It's not one I'd thought of, but I'm not sure I'd go quite as far as incarcerating, but certainly you are in effect giving a life sentence to a child because mum is either unable or unwilling to appreciate the nature and consequences of her behaviour. I wondered whether the department or the agency had arrived at a decision as to whether it would recommend that kind of restrictive behaviour. There seems to be a fair bit of buck-passing here.
