Apparently a 16 Year old girl in Devon/Cornwall was sectioned on Friday and has spent 2 days in police cells since as there is no suitable accommodation available. Outrageous in my opinion.

The DCC has gone public with his dismay at this situation, via twitter.

And miraculously a place has now been found for her!

Good for him. Locking mentally ill people in police cells, let alone teenagers should not be allowed in this day and age.
