Sir/Ms., I live in the zip code 75212 - West Dallas, Texas area. Today I called the MetroCare Crisis Unit and expressed my concern for a mentally disabled family member. They were well aware of the circumstances as I had made a similiar call on Sunday, July 18, 2010. However, the crisis I had been experiencing had not gotten any better and I again called. Two members of the MetroCare Crisis Unit came out to my home to make an observation and evaluation of my adult son and felt it necessary to have him removed from my home to be taken to the hospital; and called the local police to intervene in having him taken to the nearest hospital for further psychiatric evaluation. Once the officers arrived (four of them), I was informed they were not going to take him to a hospital but instead remove my son from the premises. The reason being that my son had not appeared to harm himself or another. All of the evaluation shared with the police by members of the crisis team was ignored and my son was released to the streets without money to travel and some belongings. This decision in my opinion only intensified the very obvious decompensation of my son's illness and although I conceded to have him return home for an opportunity to explore other options/resources on his behalf, he had not returned. Now, it's late into the night and i am grieviously concerned about his well being as he has not yet come back. I conject, that officers in question did not want to partake in having to wait around a hospital setting, filling out paperwork and being tied up in the process. I am distressed because my son was not in a settled frame of mind and needed the intervention of the officers as the circumstances were unfolded to them by the crisis team-workers. This type of apathy is what many are led to being hurt on the street or to lose their way in an society without empathy for the mentally ill. My request is the above will be reviewed and addressed in a timely manner. Thank you. Joyce R. Jones
