is it a human rights violation if a bible school detains a student in a dorm even on weekends as punishment?

Question

the school calls this "campus" and the bible school student is not allowed to go out the dorm for personal reasons like going home on weekends or visiting family and friends. The students are only allowed to go out for official school or church tasks.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if it's a human rights violation, but it doesn't sound Christian to me. If you're referring to a Bible school, I'm guess it's more or less college, right? (I know some denominations have their pastoral and Christian education training to be a college style/level school. The denomination in which my husband and I are memebers, Lutheran church ELCA has their seminary as a graduate school, with master's programs and one has to have his bachelor's to become a student. My husband is persuing his Master's of Divinity.)

Anyway, regardless of the education level, I'm assuming that the person is of at least 18 years of age, or of legal age in the country in which s/he lives. Therefore, s/he is an adult and can technically come and go as s/he legally pleases.

It just doesn't sound right to me.

Answer 2

No, the school has rules, someone broke the rules and must now pay the penalty. Why is it today that people think everything is a human or civil right, its not. The amount of rights we have is extremely limited and when we break certain rules we lose some rights. I know, novel idea, but thats how the system works and has worked for centuries.

Answer 3

No. It does not involve illegal detention defined by penal code because that it the rule and regulation of agency which is not contraty to public policy, moral and justice. Detention become illegal must involve commission of crime for the one detained who can be detained by anybody with the prima facie evidence of infraction of the law.

Answer 4

It could be criminal. Seek an attorney.
