Tak...If you want to explore child abuse in BC, Ron. Take a very close look at how child & youth psychiatric cases are treated by the health authorities in this province. Little to no psychiatric beds, little to no youth wards, centralized care at BC Children's or Surrey Memorial (I think there are 2 beds in Abbotsford) - no transport HOME from those facilities, little to no follow-up. Imagine a 10 year old left in an isolation room in an emergency room overnight with no socks (cold feet!), a mattress on the floor, a metal toilet in the room and a nurse sitting outside the door. That's just the tip of the issue. MCFD does not have psychiatric-specific foster homes and as such are also left scrambling. The reality? The health authority has the training to provide these homes and refuses. Vast majority of these kids need not be in foster care but the parents have no choice because they are burned out, and the only way to access a foster home is through removal or voluntary care. Yet a trained psychiatric foster home could avoid that. Could even use medical coverage to assist payment, imo. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
