Reports: Boy with autism living at hospital for weeks after dad abandons him; government human service workers refuse custody



A 13-year-old boy with autism has been living in the emergency department of a Colorado hospital for weeks after being abandoned there by his father, the Denver Post reported Friday.

The boy was brought to UCHealth's Longs Peak Hospital in Longmont, Colorado, June 6 on an "M1" and was abandoned by his father, the Longmont Leader reported, citing email records obtained through a Colorado Open Records Act request.

An "M1" is a reference to a Colorado law regarding involuntary mental health treatment for people experiencing a behavioral health crisis.

The boy was in LPH's emergency department without an adult, "unsupervised apart from hospital staff," the Leader also reported, citing an email from Chantell Taylor, vice president of government and regulatory affairs at UC Health.

When the boy was medically and psychiatrically cleared for discharge from LPH June 7, his father refused to pick him up. Staff reportedly attempted to place him in an inpatient psychiatric facility, but found he did not meet admission criteria, according to email records acquired by the Post.

A police report for neglect and three reports to Child Protective Services did not resolve the problem, the Post also reported.

Colorado state Rep. Judy Amabile got involved in the case when a hospital employee asked her to intervene, CBS News reported.

The employee reportedly told Amabile that Boulder County Human Service workers at first agreed to take custody of the boy, later refusing to take custody because the boy was "safe" in the emergency department.

"Boulder County DHS has not spent more than five minutes with this child since his arrival three weeks ago," the employee who wrote to Amabile for help reportedly said.

"I don't know whether the dad may or may not have reached out and ask for help but may not been able to get any help. Like we just ... we don't know, but what we do know is that you can't just leave a 13-year-old in an ER for weeks on end with no end in sight," Amabile said, as quoted by CBS.

State and county workers are trying to find placement for the boy after he has been forced to live at the hospital for almost a month, the outlet also said.

It is not clear whether the boy is still living at LPH.

The Colorado Department of Human Services told CBS News the department could not comment on the case based on health privacy protections.

"While we cannot share or confirm protected health information, UCHealth hospitals, staff members and providers always strive to provide excellent care and a safe environment for anyone who enters our facilities. Patients are always our top priority. However, hospitals are not equipped to provide long-term services for people who do not need acute medical care," Kelli Christensen, UCHealth's public and media relations manager, told TheBlaze in a statement.

"We rely on our partnerships with city, state and county organizations to assist us in finding appropriate solutions when patients are ready to leave and need a safe place to go."
TheBlaze sent a request for comment to Colorado state Rep. Judy Amabile (D) Monday morning, but did not receive a response in time for publication.

2-year-old boy abandoned at a Mississippi Goodwill drop-off with a note about his mother



A 2-year-old boy was abandoned at a Mississippi Goodwill drop-off with a note about his mother on Monday.

The heartbreaking incident happened in Southaven, a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee.

The Southaven Police Department said the boy was healthy and in good spirits when a man left him at about 10 a.m. with employees at the drop-off. They said the child played with toys even though he was not dressed for the cold temperature when he arrived.

The man was seen with a woman accompanying him.

The note was written on a paper towel and read, "child abandoned…no phone number for mom."

Police said in a Facebook post that the child was too young to give his name or the name of his relatives. When they asked him his age, he held up two of his fingers.

The child was left with a plastic bag that contained a change of clothing and some food. Police interviewed a worker at the Goodwill who told them that the man who dropped him off said simply, "The child's mother couldn't care for him."

The police said that they later made an arrest in the case across the state border line in Memphis.

"Southaven Police received numerous tips, and with the assistance of FBI offices in both Mississippi, and Tennessee, along with the Shelby County Sheriff's Department a suspect related to this case was taken into custody in Memphis," police said.

Police said the boy had been identified and was in the custody of Mississippi Child Protective Services, but would be reunited with his relatives. They are investigating the circumstances of the strange occurrence.
