Signed. Very sad for the lad. On the face of it, and I know we don't know all the details from what is written, the overpowering thought is that this child badly needs to be with his family. I don't get how being told to not see him so regularly is benefitting anyone? Still, I guess I'm not a mental health expert.....
Good luck.

Signed - mental health is very much the poor relation in the NHS with regards to funding. It is appalling that young people have to be so far away from home in order to received what is deemed the correct treatment.

The local authority provides funding for Eddie's mum to visit once a month - can you imagine only seeing your child 12 times a year, when he is suffering from severe mental health problems?
If anybody wants to dontate a small amount to go towards funding additional visits, it can be done via PayPal to dollymarie21@yahoo.com (Dolly Marie is one of the mods on OTIB)

Done.
Saw this on the local news last night, it seems ridiculous that there's nowhere closer than Newcastle for him to be.

Signed. So you are young have mental health problems and they detach you miles away from your Mother, who on earth decides such things? Best of luck Dolly.

Signed! An utter disgrace in this day and age! If the local MP isn't interested then she is unelectable next time around!

This is one of the things like the Oscar stuff that goes well beyond football and local rivalries. I work with parents of kids and teenagers with Mental Health Difficulties or Learning Disabilities and what they go through at times is heartbreaking. Mental health services in this country are poor though the staff do their best; to me it is an indictment of out society.

Great that this has been posted on here, hopefully lots of us will sign, as I have. Was there any need to even mention the sh!ts forum though? There's a chance that some Gasheads could be put off by that... Is it worth removing the ''otib'' mention, so everyone knows it's just a Bristol thing... (Obviously if it gets deleted, I'll delete this post too).

i mentioned otib because i wanted to post exactly what she had written, it never crossed my mind, i just copied, posted and wanted to say where it came from. the fact that its not relevant is why its on there, if that makes sense!
