Ohio's Mental Health System broken

The Enquirer on cincinatti.com has been investigating the Mental Health System in Ohio. They found that Ohio's system for treating children with mental illness is entrenched in bureaucracy and plagued by abuse.

See the full report here Among other things, they found:

• To get public help, thousands of parents who can't afford treatment give custody of their kids to the government.
• Some children sent to treatment centers are abused, molested, overdrugged or left to live in wretched conditions.
• No one's in charge. Two state agencies and hundreds of county agencies confound even the people running them.

Gov. Bob Taft acknowledges that Ohio's mental health system doesn't work for thousands of families.

Of course, some suggest funding more of the same old thing that got them into trouble in them first place
