where the seclusion room was not really necessary. >> martha: you talk about the room having dark walls and you could hear them sliding a desk in front of the door so that you couldn't get out and, sean, you are an educator yourself, fourth-generation of educators and you make a very good point that it would be illegal for a parent to lock their child in a room, why is it not for a school to do so? >> and that's the question that we've all been asking. if we were going to do this at home we would have child protective services banging on my door but because i'm a certified teacher in the same act is done in a school setting, it's perfectly legal in the state of virginia. and what we found is that there are some states that have regulations in place to prevent this, but there are some states that don't and it's just a very disjointed way of how it's being addressed and there really needs to be some type of consistency.
