Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Safety

Is it legal/illegal to lock a child's bedroom door at night to ensure their safety? The child has a history of wandering at night, breaking into and ingesting medications, and sexually acting out... there are other children in the home as well. Please advise!!!!

Probably, but you should consult with a mental health professional. Some counties have plans for a sliding scale for lower income people. If you have medical insurance, you should check whether there is coverage for treating mental health problems.
