    A locked unit is provided for the program, however children are denied access due to the 6 bed unit being occupied by psychotic, intoxicated, violent adults, who are sometimes registered sex offenders. The Screening and Crisis Intervention Program has no choice but to deny children and families access to the unit—that is designed for all individuals in crisis—however sometimes has to bring children on the unit with adults, if they are combative. It may not be very effective to do an evaluation in the middle of the emergency room hallway, when a minor is trying to explain why he or she want to kill him or herself—or something along those lines. There are many distractions; like stated before, victims of homicide are rushed into the ER and sometimes these children or adolescents get distracted with the hospitals environment and cannot focus on their own treatment, or merely feel uncomfortable. Many families complain about sitting in the halls, because they do not want someone to recognize them and notice their blue scrub attire, which signifies that they are actually a SCIP patient and not at the hospital for medical purposes.…
