    Why do we contact homicide? This is missing persons case correct? Her boyfriend probably killed her. Y ou must already know detectives so arrest the boyfriend.

    There are many who do there jobs as best they can..Many have there hands tied because The hospital sometimes can’t treat mental patients until they get a psych eval and The hospital is not equipped to treat certain patients so many times they need make other arrangements to send them to another facility..Mental patients although many come into ER themselves and many by Ambulance or Police because of Suicidal Actions have no other available resources that aren’t stretched thin..If anyone pays attention history out here in The AV all the lives taken by suicide..Age from a child to adult…Again I’m sorry if I offend anyone ..
    We need agencies and doctors that actually work!!

    I apologize ahead of time if this offends anyone..Unfortunately the hospital personnel let her fall through the cracks and didn’t monitor her correctly..maybe if they stopped socializing and complaining about mental people that come through the ER Maybe even do there job a little more which entails keeping watch over Mental patients when they are there and not treating them in a disrespectful way and going straight For the medication to knock them out..

          Yeah Bob, I do actually.

          Maybe talk to someone who is ACTUALLY there instead of imaginary sky daddies.

          Just a thought.

        Im glad that you’re ok. :)

        Nothing wrong with needing help. I’ve been through it too. You’re not alone, you have an army behind you of people who are struggling or have struggled the same.

        The sun always rises again.
