This was happening when I was in foster care. My brother was put into a psychiatric hospital at the request of his foster mother. She said he was hiding food in his room. Since when is that a reason to put a child in a psychiatric hospital? He was very abused and given shock treatment in that hospital and was there a long time, years.
DCFS director held in contempt following WGN Investigates report on long hospitalizations

CHICAGO - DCFS director Marc Smith has been held in contempt following a WGN Investigates report that showed hundreds of children were in psychiatric hospitals longer than necessary due to the organization not having anywhere else to house them.

WGN reported in 2021 that 356 children statewide were hospitalized beyond the time it was medically necessary, with the average stay 55 days longer than the doctor recommendation.

Of the children hospitalized, 18 percent were under the age of 10.

Now, Cook County judge Patrick Murphy is holding DCFS director Marc Smith in contempt of court for his agency’s failure to find appropriate placements for cases.

Beginning Wednesday, DCFS will be fined $1,000 a day, every day until the DCFS complies with the judge’s order.
