Is what this Psych Ward threatening to minors ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL, and/or perhaps ACTIONABLE in court?
Q. There is a Behavioral Health Department (Psych Ward) at a U.S. hospital who has an outpatient program for teens that requires them to be at the hospital in day care treatment or therapy for 6 hours a day but not overnight. Teens are not brought into this program by the police, therefore it is voluntary and typically the ones who call for it are the concerned parents of the teens, such teens typically exhibiting signs of bipolarity or potential drug and/or alcohol abuse. The administration tells parents that the teen patients can leave if they want to. However the teens end up being threatened in private that if they do try to leave, the police will be called, the teen will be brought back, and the hospital will move to have them… [cont.]

A. No, the actions your described are neither unethical nor illegal. They are entirely appropriate. The hospital becomes in loco parentis (not unlike a school) in a partial/day treatment program such as you have described. In other words, they become responsible for the well being of that minor during the hours of operation of the program. If a patient elopes (leaves without permission), it is considered a runaway situation, and the hospital will indeed contact the police and/or change the level of treatment accordingly (e.g., move to inpatient vs partial treatment). The PARENTS would have to sign the minor out - it is not up to the teen him/herself to decide whether or not he/she would like to leave the facility. ~Dr. B.~
