(Added to NRS by 2011, 308)

1. No restraints of any kind may be used on a child who is in labor, delivering her baby or recuperating from delivery unless there are compelling reasons to believe that the child presents:

(a) A serious and immediate threat of harm to herself, staff or others; or

(b) A substantial flight risk and cannot be reasonably confined by other means.

2. If a child who is in labor, delivering her baby or recuperating from delivery is restrained, only the least restrictive restraints which are necessary to ensure safety and security may be used.
