A senior police officer takes to Twitter to highlight the case of a 16 years old girl with mental health issues who has been held for two days.
Assistant Chief Constable Paul Netherton, from Devon and Cornwall Police, said she was detained on Thursday night and sectioned on Friday lunchtime.
She should have been taken to hospital, but police were told there were no places for her anywhere in the UK.
Several police cells have been taken out of use as a result and an officer has been taken off regular duties to focus on the teenager.
