Suicidal teenager sent home over lack of beds
Gemma, 16, from Co Wexford, was raped over a period spanning several years by her mother’s former partner, now in prison, and has been suffering from psychiatric problems for the past number of years.
After attempting suicide at least six times and self-harming on many occasions, she was admitted to Wexford General Hospital eight weeks ago and told she could remain there until a place was found for her in a specialist adolescent psychiatric unit.
