I have known two parents who locked there children in their bedrooms for their goodnights - with their sibling.

Does she actually mean locked?
I would be worried too.
Do the rooms actually have locks or is the door just closed?
You can't usually lock bathroom doors from the outside.

I'd believe her but also check the actual situation re locks and also speak to your son.

Hi there, I’m a nana of 3 aged 4, 3 & 2 and the 4 year old has told me she gets locked in her bedroom if she been naughty and the other gets locked in the bathroom as punishment. I am besides my self with worry and I will be speaking to my son about this but the mother isn’t the most responsible or respectful parent.
I’m shocked and so upset. I’m right aren’t I ?
Under no circumstances is this acceptable 😢😱
