Sooo.... Basically, I am just trying to find a phone number for my roommate from the looney bin. She's still there, so I wanna call her mum to get her to pass along a message for me.

All I have so far is her myspace, which I can't really see until she accepts me as a friend. I know her name, and I know, in a general sense, where she lives. x.x

Anything anybody can do to help? I've no idea when she's getting out. It's not likely to be too soon considering that she's on escape precautions right now...

You have her last name? Phonebook would be good if you have that and where she's from.

Otherwise, you'll have to resort to tracking her adress down online or finding friends of hers who could tell you how to get in touch.

[iamzack]

She lives several counties away, though, so I don't know how to get ahold of a phonebook for there. And also it's a really common last name and I don't know her parents' names.

[SKYNET-011]

Figured that. Well all I can suggest is an online-phone directory or hunting down some friends of hers.

I didn't get any names of friends from her... we were supposed to be discharged on the same day and by the time I found out she wasn't going home, she was already tranq'd and locked up.

I am checking the online thinger now.

[iamzack]

Gah. I gotta go.

Here's what I've got:

Halp?

If you know anyone from that high school, you could call them and see if you can get your hands on a directory. Beyond that though, I'd be very careful about posting someones information on the net.

[iamzack]

I knowww, but I'm desperate. I'm going to be out of the country in about 26 hours. I don't know anyone from Cumberland County so it's like rawrghblrgh.

[captain-custard]

if she has a myspace , does she have an msn, hotmail account if you can try and see her contact details , sometimes it works even if your not budddied......

This more and more starts to sound a little too unbelieveable.

Maybe Police could help?

You know what, I don't think it is a good idea to put anyone's personal information out there on the web without their consent. I'm sorry but it is for the best if I remove them from your post, iamzack.

You do make a good point. I kinda doubt that Zack is a pedo in disguise though, because we have a supposed photo of her. It's possible that Turambar is a pedo and Zack is a sock puppet, but something tells me it would have been apparent before: Ts been around a long time. It's a little too close to paranoid to say this is unbelievable, but it would be foolhardy to assume the best.

Also at <censored age>, this kid hopefully has the brains to avoid anything sticky anyway. This is of course not a good reason to provide any information anyway. The nice thing is that nobody has any real information of value, so there's not too much of a moral dilemma, yet.

i grew up in loonie bins, they tend to frown on the patients having friends, and wont give out numbers

It's not like I don't know where she is. She's still at the hospital. On escape precautions. I just want to call her mum to get her mum to call the hospital and give Erin a message from me is all. I wanna make sure Erin's okay. -.-

I doubt police will help. You get instant UR or ITP if you get caught exchanging contact info because they don't want us keeping in touch when we get out.

[SKYNET-011]

What's UR\ITP?

Anyway, your best bet is probably just process of elimination. Call a number and ask if it's [name removed]'s mom\dad.

[iamzack]

UR - unit restriction
Means you are stuck in the Day Room all day and you can't leave to go to the cafeteria or the gym.

ITP - individual(ised?) treatment program(/plan?)
Basically isolation from other patients. They put you in the hallway next to the front desk just outside the day room and you have to do a stack of work sheets where are usually random bull**** like essays about how you can control your anger better.

There's other things too, but I was only ever on checks, suicide precautions (UR, but not as a punishment), and a brief ITP for sleeping during SW group the morning of my discharge.

Buuuttttt...... Yeah, Erin was beyond all of that by the time they gave her shots.

It's only about 6pm, so I guess I will do the process of elimination thinger. Thanks for PMing me the link, skynet.

[SKYNET-011]

No problem. Hearing about people being commited strikes a nerve.

[vyper]

Buuuttttt...... Yeah, Erin was beyond all of that by the time they gave her shots.

Yeah, cause drugging people rather than addressing the underlying problem with their living environment is the best idea...

[iamzack]

They told her she was going home and then told her she wasn't. And she snapped. And the whole thing escalated from there.

[vyper]

Point proven.
