Boy Gets Trapped In Bedroom Handcuffs

Updated:08:45, Wednesday February 06, 2008
An eight-year-old boy had to be freed by firefighters after getting stuck in a pair of handcuffs he found in his mother's bedroom.

Firefighters took the schoolboy to Copnor Fire Station in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

The crew had to use industrial metal cutters to free the boy.

The cuffs were described as made of "hardened steel" and not meant as a toy.

Firefighter Dan French told Portsmouth's The News: 'The little boy came to the fire station with his grandmother and had the cuffs hanging from one wrist.

"Before we released him I asked if he was on the run from the police but he assured me he wasn't.

"And then his grandmother said he'd found the cuffs in his mother's bedroom.

"She immediately realised what she'd said and put her hand over her mouth.

"It's beyond my wildest imagination why someone would keep handcuffs in their bedroom!"

Giving the mother the benifit of the doubt, she could have kept them in case some wanted criminal happened to show up in her bedroom. Like the Cub Souts say, "Be Prepared".

Thank God for Jenny! Always the calm voice of reason!

Having broken the key for a pair of handcuffs at an inopportune moment once, I no longer use them.

As I am very fair-skinned, I bruise easily. Cuff bruises are hard to explain. I like my velcro restraints.

Ooh. You have my attention.

I prefer silk scarves, myself.

Actually, they're pretty easy to explain, if people know you.

Worked at a fast food place for a while on the opening shift. One good way to get to know people (and for them to get to know you) is showing up at 4 am to open a place up together. Anyway, I'd worked there for about 3 or 4 months and showed up with a big, deep, fairly wide scratch down my nose. This is 11 years ago and the scar is still there. Faint, but there.

Conversation went as follows:

them: What happened?

me: Huh?

them: What happened to your nose?

me: Oh... I scratched it.

them: No shit. What were you doing? How did it happen?

me: I scratched myself in the middle of some kinky sex.

them: *jaw dropped, turned bright red, and went back to what they were doing*

me: *looked at then SO and shrugged* What? It's true!


Everybody else just laughed. She was newer and didn't know to expect a fully honest answer.

Only if you're willing to cut them instead of trying to untie them!

I like cuffs-- but I love a nice clean length of cotton rope.

(Always, ALWAYS have an extra key somewhere!)

I love rope, but with my life, I have to be prepared to change quickly. The cuffs work nicely, and then I don't have to cut anything "nice".

Not when there's epoxy.


What?

When I was a kid me and my friends had a pair of handcuff, the kind you can get at the flea market. Maybe they were bad quality, but we had no problems pulling our hands out of it, we had to use it on our legs to really get restrained.

Personally I like handcuffs, and I think bruises of a sexual nature on non-taboo body parts are great to "innocently" flash people with.

Don't get it mixed up with toothpaste.

Or lube.

I agree, but I work with kids, and I don't think their parents would be all that tolerant.

I already have them.

Perhaps I'll bring them.

mmmm Thinking about how do divide space in my luggage between clothes and toys.

Novelty store in my area sells glow-in-the-dark handcuffs. No idea what use they'd be to anyone.

LOL... true. It's much more fun with the lights on.

A few years ago, a then girlfriend was showing off to some friends and put on a set of leg irons and handcuffs I had hanging on the wall. The type with another chain attaching the two sets of cuffs together.

Everyone laughed and thought it was funny until she realized I had the key on my key chain and I was several hundred miles away at work.

One tearful and embarrassing phone call later, I told her where the spare key was.
