Rise in children treated on adult mental health wards in the U.K.

BBC News - Rise in children treated on adult mental health wards: "One mother, who did not want to be named, said her 12-year-old daughter was sent from Hull to a psychiatric unit in Stafford, 130 miles away.

"One time she got upset because she didn't want me to go and they had to prise her off me," the mother said.

"They put her in a room and as I was leaving the unit she was shouting out the window, 'Mummy, Mummy, don't leave me, please. Don't leave me, Mummy'."
