A joint investigation by WRAL and North Carolina Health News uncovered a history of issues with mental health hospitals in North Carolina that cater to children. That history was only uncovered by conducting interviews and making public records requests with local, state and federal agencies. The information took weeks to compile. Unfortunately, parents looking for help for their children in crisis don’t have that much time to find the best facility. Jason Clark's daughter, Kayla, is no stranger to Holly Hill Mental Health Hospital in Raleigh. She has been involuntarily committed several times. His daughter even tried to escape earlier this year, but was stopped at the nurse's station. But WRAL Investigates found - even with more control - parents are still left in the dark when it comes to mental health facilities like Holly Hill.
