Gilde Home for Criminally Insane Babies

Abigail has spent 80% of her life institutionalized. She's adjusting well to life on the outside, but she's still at little rough around the edges. She refers to being put in her crib as "being thrown in the hole" and her time in her bouncy chair as "the yard". On a more positive note:  we've only found three shivs on her this week and she no longer talks about trading me for three packs of smokes.

Looking for shivs

With her sketchy past, Mary and I have to protect ourselves at all times. When we feel she's about to lose it, we put her in restraints. Its safer for everyone.

We've tried a variety of devices, some better than others.

In most of the restraints we've found, she can get her hands free. This is a problem with a violent baby.



Free hands=dangerous baby




















Luckily we found a company online that specializes in baby straight jackets. Seems to be working well so far.
