The Florida father accused of locking up his adopted son inside a room he had built in the family’s garage heads to trial this week. Timothy Ferriter faces charges of aggravated child abuse, false imprisonment and neglect of a child, court records show.
According to his arrest affidavit out of Palm Beach County, Jupiter officers were contacted by a contract worker after Ferriter asked him to build an office in his garage in December 2021, but once he completed his work, he thought the entire project “was very strange,” according to the affidavit.
“The room was built as an 8-foot-by-8-foot space in the garage with its own ceiling and door. [The worker] further advised the door had added a bolt lock and knob only on the outside, no knob inside so if someone were inside the office they would not be able to exit until someone opened the door for them from the outside. [The worker] state he was also instructed to build this space with electricity and install a window air conditioning unit as well as a camera in the ceiling.”

The defense is showing Tim Ferriter's daughter pictures of family events and trips including her brother, who she previously testified was not allowed to be included in such activities - she acknowledges he was at some #ferriter
... prosecutor Brianna Coakley described the defendant’s treatment of his son as cruel, malicious and could only exacerbate problems for a child with behavioral issues.

I worked as an inpatient psychiatric nurse for over 30 years, and IMO, these folks had no idea how deep these boys' problems go. We have no idea how old this young man was when he was adopted, and according to this family's experience, some children are so emotionally damaged by the age of 2, the attachment disorder is irreversible without years and years of intensive therapy. This young man is extremely bright, and has learned how to charm, flatter and manipulate to get his needs met, and he will continue this behavior when dealing with people of authority.

Beth Thomas - Child Of Rage
In 1990, HBO released a documentary on Beth Thomas, a 6 ½ year old girl. The documentary, called Child of Rage, was extremely shocking. It includedpracticalpie.com
Super, I'll be looking out for it, Dhighsmith.I keep encountering issues in attaching an article that I’d be interested in your thoughts, I’m sending this reply to have a sort of bookmark for when I resolve my system problem.
My background is in the legal system, career experience plus B.A. Criminal Justice, which only briefly touched on behavioral issues. I’m trying to better understand facts/details on the limitations/restrictions for ensuring the required effective treatment to individuals with mental disorders associated with enhanced risk of violent behavior.
Thanks in advance for sharing any info you might have-
BTW, I’m familiar with the Federal ruling from several years ago, which addressed situations that violated an individual’s civil rights. That ruling had tremendous influence on long term treatment programs due to the extreme high risk for abuse and neglect.
