Q2.OK,
locks and restraining tape are one way to restrain someone. But,
suppose the nursing home administrator took Mr. Newman to a room
with a steel door and bars on the window. He put him inside and
locked the door. Mr. Newman didn't know it, but the bars on the
window were not locked. All he needed to do to escape was open the
window, push the bars out of the way and step out of the room which
was on the first floor. It would have been so easy because the
building was located next to a well-traveled highway. Under these
facts, was Mr. Newman restrained? (Choose the
best answer)
This is not restraint
because Mr. Newman was in fact able to walk out.
.
This is still restraint
because even though Mr. Newman could have walked out at any time, his
possessions had been taken so he had no money for a taxi.
This is not a restraint
because Mr. Newman could have investigated and discovered he had a way
out.
It is still restraint
because Mr. Newman was unaware that he had a way out.
