Review of San Marcos Treatment Center

I recently visited this place for clinical hours. ...

I recently visited this place for clinical hours. It was sad to see how these kids get treated. There was absolutely no compassion from the staff. I seen some staff bullying and showing favoritism towards certain children. My heart absolutely hurts to know that many of these kids may report these issues, but no body will listen to them. All I kept hearing was that the kids were manipulative, stupid, worthless, bad, and how much some nurses literally can't stand certain little ones. I would have believed the nurse I was following if I hadn't seen one of the staff members yank a small child by his arm. Another staff member stepped on a little boys foot until he cried out. Another staff member yelled at a girl. "Get the hell away, I can't stand you. Your so damn nosy and annoying." She yelled this right in front of the nurse I was following!! As a future nurse, I don't understand how you could NOT advocate for children that are so vulnerable. It hurts my heart to see that many of these kids are being abused in the system. Please if anyone can see this review, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!!!!!!
