She walked uninhibited through the entrance of the centre and made the half-mile journey home
The man, who has opted to remain anonymous to protect his stepdaughter’s identity, said that she walked home from the Becklin Centre to his home in Harehills last Friday at around 5pm after being sectioned under the Mental Health Act two days prior.
He said: “She walked through our front door, barefoot, in her pyjamas and in a confused and distressed state.“When I contacted the ward, they had no idea where she was and said a member of staff had been unable ‘to keep up with her’. He said that he has since spoken to a manager on the ward and requested the member of staff responsible for his stepdaughter at the time she left be disciplined."She has self harmed and attempted suicide in the past and anything could have happened to her on her journey home.
The man said that his stepdaughter has escaped the ward and come home on a previous occasion when she was sectioned.He said that his stepdaughter is now being looked after in a ward on the top floor and it is hoped that she can return home in the coming weeks."As part of her mental state she will only see us in her room but they don’t allow that. I have tried to take her food because she won’t eat what they provide as she thinks they are trying to poison her.
