Which case were you talking about?

"Keeping the child from running around" falls under restraint, not torture.

Ok, the central example of restraint is a straitjacket, so my complaint still stands.

For someone who suffers from situation-dependent panic attacks, restraint and torture are not mutually exclusive. (Depending on how we define torture, of course.)

Sure. Could be both, but is closer to central case of restraint.
