Regardless of the whether your father-in-law needs to be put on a leash as your family believes, this is unethical if not illegal (at least in liberal parts of the world).
Unless he is a danger to himself or others, as determined by an independent professional, what is your family's justification for unilaterally deciding he should be banned from talking to people?

- wonderbore 4y agoI fail to see what part of the story so far changes the ethics of this. Not having privacy is still not great, even if there's little expectation of it where he lives.
- fakedang 4y agoA few years back or so, there was a guy on the India subreddit desperately asking around if anyone saw his relative (I think uncle or brother), who had autism quite visibly, and had gone to the railway station of his own accord. Even though the police were quite actively involved, which is unusual in India for the most part, I don't think they were able to locate the missing person. If such tracking can prevent situations like those, then I'm fully in support of those measures. The key word here being consent of the individual. Edit:- The uncle was found fortunately, severely malnourished and living on the streets, after almost 5 months. https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/80ubg8/need_help_my_uncle_a_person_with_special_needs_is/ https://www.reddit.com/r/india/comments/80ubg8/need_help_my_...
