Thanks for posting that article Kobi.
Over the past week, our local newspaper published a 4-part series on how state and federal level agencies have failed people needing help in the mental health and child/adult abuse sectors...agencies collecting fees on the backs of the very people who desperately need protection services and not getting the priority deserved to help them escape such harrowing situations or even get the desired treatment to help them overcome situations that are life threatening.
Sometimes I wonder what it will take to bring agencies into compliance with state and federal laws, laws which are supposed to hold agencies accountable -- as well as making sure that remedies are accessible to those who need relief, to those who should be relieved from hurting themselves and others.
It appears that agencies are failing those who are in dire need of help.
