You're mixing up the cases.
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.
Certainly.
