Rule 11-110. Juvenile Restraints

If a child who is the subject of the proceedings is brought before the court wearing any physical restraint device, absent a particularized security concern, the device shall be removed while the child is in the courtroom or hearing room. Although security personnel have the ongoing responsibility for maintaining security and order throughout the proceeding, the judge or magistrate conducting the proceeding shall determine whether the child needs to remain in restraints while in the courtroom or hearing room.
