Review for San Diego Center for Children, San Diego, CA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

The purpose of this review is to voice how the children are being treated at the center and how the organization falsifies documentation when reporting to the courts and Health and Human Services Agency. I was an employee during a regular shift where a child became assaultive and was restrained by being kept in his room against his will (also called an involuntary time out). A supervisor by name Elizabeth Hook was on the unit during the incident and I wrote a standard report documenting everything that took place. At the end of my shift, I debriefed with another supervisor by name, Michelle Drake who said to me that she had concerns why that type of restraint took place when Elizabeth knows we shouldn't do that type of restraint and that she was going to talk to her. A week later I received a written warning stating that I had been told to rewrite the report excluding the involuntary time out in that clients room. I will do everything in my power to stop this organization's dishonestly and its supervisor's unprofessional and incompetent handling of these situations. If you are a funder I would strongly recommended that you investigate this before giving support to an organization that would treat children in this manner and them try to cover it up.
