Awful, horrible, worst experience ever in the history of experiences. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE unless you want horrible treatment and false CPS allegations brought against you.
I cannot even begin to list everything that was wrong with this experience. We tried to get our son, who has long history of mental illness, lying and violent behavior, admitted to the PBMU. He has been admitted two times prior once for two weeks and the other time for three weeks (there average stay is 3-5 days). We made it clear that was once again an immediate risk to himself and others yet for some reason he wasn't admitted. When my fiancee wasn't able to come pick him up due to her health issues we was told to go to sleep and could pick him up in the morning. Then at 3:55 am I received a call from children's hospital caller ID stating that he was a police officer (didn't leave a call back) and said that he would be calling back in 5 minutes and we better answer or he would be filing a case to prosecutor for arrest for possible child abandonment. After dealing with CPS they were shocked as well that they had ever needed to get involved and everyone agreed he should have been admitted to the PBMU. I am floored at the utter unprofessional (and sheer disregard for the actual facts) demonstrated by the ER staff (especially Marie the mental health evaluator at the time of his visit) at this time. CPS got involved and helped in making the determination our son needed to go to long term residential treatment which is all we were trying to do in the first place.
It is our intention to file a complaint with the department of health and we will be looking into the possibility of filing a law suit for false CPS report made among other basis.
