can we purchase a ticket even if there is no passenger to ensure privacy?

Question

We are a family of 3 and plan to travel overnight in a soft sleeper.  Is there any way to prevent a stranger from taking the 4th bunk?  Can we purchase the cheapest fare ticket for a child for the fourth bunk even if we don't have a 4th passenger?

This works some times but not every time! If the staff noticed the 4th bed is in fact empty, they may sale the bed again to other passengers.
