Judge Simon Burrows of the High Court said he found the case to be 'extremely disturbing'
A High Court judge has ordered a teenage girl must stay in hospital under what two social workers have described as the "most intense" restrictions they have ever seen. It comes just months after two assessments said detention wasn't necessary.
She also has a diagnosis of ADHD and has suffered from worsening self-harm and suicidal ideation since the death of her mum. Despite taking repeated overdoses, including several in the space of a few weeks, a mental health assessment concluded Claire did not meet the criteria for detention under the Mental Health Act.
More location changes failed to stop the suicide and self-harm attempts and one stage, she was living in a lone cubicle off a ward in Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. There she was effectively contained but received "no real opportunity for her to be treated for her underlying psychological problems, to be educated or to have anything like the normal life that a 14 or 15-year-old girl would want".
