<br/><br/> "Statewide, a Tampa [Florida] Tribune investigation has found, there were 16,000 cases last year [2002] of children being taken to crisis centers under the Baker Act. Many are taken in handcuffs and under police escort, as if they are being arrested and are going to jail. Often they are kept for days, put on prescription psychiatric drugs and then released with only a recommendation they seek outpatient care." (TAMPA TRIBUNE) This article identifies the state programs that are available in Florida to help mentally and emotionally troubled children.
