Hey folks. I've been evacuated to the Lousiana's State Forensic Hospital (East Louisiana State Hospital 225-634-01400) in Jackson LA, about 45 miles north of Baton Rouge. We are here with over 40 children and adolescents who were living in the State Hospital in Mandeville. We also have the NOAH kids (New Orleans Adolescent Hospital). Many have not been in contact with their families. They are all safe. Many staff members are sleeping on the floors and have no homes to return to. We have no idea how long we will be here.
I have very limited time to get on the computer. If someone can post the above information on different websites, maybe some of these kids could get calls from their families. Due to confidentiality, I can't post their names.
