Yeah. it's horrible when facilities do this. Most do not distinguish between patients who are in need of more or less help, either, so nobody ends up getting help because everyone is lumped in to one group.
Im convinced they do this on purpose to create more mental health issues that they can bill you for. By creating trauma they create a perpetual source of income for the entire industry. So being traumatized at Facility A turns you into funds for Facility B and Pharmaceutical Company A. The someone who was traumatized at Facility B becomes an income source for Facility A and Pharmaceutical Company A.
This is a common occurrence in Nursing Homes! Even old people can have a past or be predatory. Most nursing homes DO NOT do required background checks on residents prior to admission. You do not know who your Grandma is sharing a room or a hallway with.
I was a tutor in university. I was assigned an older man with some learning disabilities. He constantly tried to touch me, would ask me out on dates, ask where I lived, and said I was his type. My dad worked for the state police and coincidentally mentioned I should check the offenders registry since I lived off campus. Turns out my student was an offender, I was his type, and he moved across the street from me after I was assigned to him. University claimed they didn’t tell me because of HIPAA. Bullshit. The offender registry isn’t protected under HIPAA.
Mental health facilities in America are a NIGHTMARE. I remember being in a crisis center in Oklahoma and it was literally hell on earth. Seperate rooms for everyone? No it was a giant glass box with 20+ recliners in 4 rows. There were fights. Literal cries of the demented. People struggling with addiction who got zero help. I'm never going there again no matter what. The worst phrase I've ever heard from someone about the mental health facilities in the US is: "All it taught me was to finish the job" so they would not have to go back to that hell hole.
As someone who has internal knowledge of mental health facilities….. for an attorney… its a goldmine… i would be willing to hedge a bet that most have more then a few serious problems… the trick is catching them, people working at these facilities oftwn times have to learn to be sneaky.
All you same people righteously commenting here better remember your comments with predators and sociopaths are denied psychiatric admission for these reasons. Admission doesn’t help them much but it can devastate others
This should be true for all healthcare facilities. Safety needs to actually become a somewhat priority because I tell you now, it’s definitely not first. And it’s sad.
This is why phones shouldn’t be taken from the patients. Anyone should be able to call an outside source for help in an emergency situation. (And seriously, it’s not any extra work to implement a one strike policy, that if you call with zero need, phone goes away THEN for the rest of the time.)
Was at a place like this. They can charge exorbitant prices for ’treatment’ but take literally everyone and specify in nothing. They’ll rarely kick people out though because $$$$.
“This whole giving notice runs through the law in every situation,” I’m glad you have that view because I’ve seen a string of people go on social media and brag about having $ex with people and not disclosing ahead of time that they have “STD X” before they do so and not until later when the person they had $ex with confronts them do they admit such, and even then they seem to prefer to fire back against the individual.
So, is it the person's fault? What if they didn't ever do it but we're having thoughts and we're afraid of acting upon it? Didn't the mental health facility put them in danger too?
I'm sorry, but if someone has urges that would lead them to do something criminal, they need to be in a different ward than those who don't have criminal urges. Remove the threat before they can act on it.
I knew a guy in highschool that tried to get adderall so he could grind out homework, the quack doctor took him for disturbed for no good reason and locked him up in a facility like that for several months. He got held back cause of theissed attendance and was traumatized by being drugged and kept with other drugged people. He told me a guy tried to hand him his feces once…our mental healthcare facilities suck
One of the many reasons I'm against nental health facilities being able to hold people against their will. They completely take away any piwer the patient has over theor own care, which allows them to abuse them with impunity. And if a patient tries to get help all the facility has to do is slap them with extra diagnoses that let them say the oatient isn't telling the truth.
The system as it stands is too abuse to be given the kind of control it's given.

Dude, sometimes the staff do it on purpose. Some sick people work in those places.

That's terrifying. Shouldn't they lock up someone who's a r-pist? Like put them in a private room and literally lock the door?
Current US so-called president…
Some very young girls…
Supreme court…

This is a huge problem in halfway houses

"Sexual Emergency Urges"? Moslem or Indian? Its 1 of the 2. 100%.

Probably lack of money + unethical mind.

I reject the notion that sexual urges can't be controlled.

But the victim who protects themselves by kicking the predator in the face multiple times would be the one punished

Avoid Eagle View in Bettendorf, IA. This place is exactly like this.
