But that is exactly what is done.
The arm is put straight next to the body, the hand is stretched and the, too.
Then they are fixed in that position while very tightly wrapping the blanket
around. Then keeping this fixed tightly, the other arm and hand follows.
The legs are stretched in the knee and the feet are stretched like a ballet
dancers' feet.
I have seen it done.
It can be done.
It is being done.
And I still see it as child abuse.
