A suicidal teenager was threatened with a taser and accused of wasting police time as she stood on a motorway bridge.
The girl, 16, had to be talked down from a bridge after taking an overdose of paracetamol but ended up being threatened when the police arrived at the scene. The girl, who has history of suicide attempts and is named only as HT, was spotted on the bridge in January of this year and details of the incident were revealed in a High Court judgement on whether she should continue to be deprived of her liberty.

It states: “The Children’s Guardian has expressed a number of reservations regarding the placement, including HT becoming aware of messages passing between staff referring to her as “a wild animal”.
A report of her Access Assessment, given to the court, explained: “Given that carers are willing to take HT home, and keep supporting her in the community and there is scope to increase input from MH services, alongside a short course of medication to relieve agitation and distress that HT is currently displaying, this would provide a less restrictive option than hospital admission.”
