My child was placed in the impatient childrens unit in ogdensburg. My child has been placed here for over a year. I personally believe that has been detrimental to my child's well being. When my child first entered this facility, I was asked to consent to medicating him. I refused. I was only allowed to see my child one time after being placed here, and when I did, my child was unrecognizable. He barely spoke and just stared at the ceiling. It was then, that the doctor told me, under "emergency" situations, they can restrain and sedate your child without parental consent. She then added that they have needed to restrain and sedate my child every single day since he first got there.

It was at this time, that I consented to allowing them to medicate him. NOT because I believed he needed it, but because it was made painfully aware to me, that they were going to medicate my child whether or not I agreed to it, and I was hoping it would at least put an end to these adults physically restraining and sedating my child who was just 8 years old.

As licensed doctors and psychiatrists you would think these adults would be educated enough to realize the devestating effects this can have on young children, effects that are traumatizing.

During my child's stay in this unit, the staff used our contact between my child and I as a form of punishment for my son. I was told by his counselor and I quote verbatim, "he needs to learn it's okay to be upset, but he can't get so angry. Last time we stopped contact between you two for a week, this time we are going to try it for two weeks, and then we will all have a meeting to decide whether or not to allow contact again, there is no doubt in my mind that your son loves you so very much, but after phone calls, he gets so upset"

Now during those few phone calls, my child would become sad, and say he wanted to come home, that if he could just come home he would be the happiest boy in the world. He would tell me over and over that he loved me and wanted me to come see him. When it was time to say goodbye, he would become upset and cry and refuse to hang up the phone. When he was made to end the phone calls, he would be upset afterwards.

What these "doctors" failed to understand was that if my son was able to feel secure in knowing that it was okay to hang up the phone, because there would be another opportunity to call me again the next day or another day, then it would have eliminated his extreme reactions. But because they would go from letting us talk one day, to stopping ALL contact completely for weeks at a time, when he was given the opportunity to speak with his mommy, he reacted that way because he was afraid that once he hung up, there would be no other chance to talk again.

I told this to his counselor, I told her I'm not sure how she could possibly think it was a good idea to use this as a form of punishment, yet she did what she wanted, and to add insult to injury, she also asked the department of social services to petition the court seeking an order to stop all contact indefinitely.

Her order was granted.

My son was placed here December 6th 2016, and as recent as November 2017 he was STILL there.. I have not gotten to see, talk to, or even ask a question about my beautiful little boy who was placed here, and stolen from me for over a year now.


I would caution all parents against their children being placed here. The staff is underqualified and lacking any empathy or compassion for their patients, these vulnerable children who are placed on their care.
