In this follow-up report to the Hartford Courant's 1998 "Deadly Restraint" investigative series that exposed patient abuse in psychiatric facilities, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill chronicles a continuing pattern of abuse and restraint, largely of child patients under five years old. Abuse was often repeated, and mutliple cases resulted in death. The tipsheet comes with a chart listing incidences of abuse across the country occuring after the Courant report.
