LA Hospital Admits to “Dumping” Homeless, Mentally Ill

In California, a Los Angeles area psychiatric hospital has admitted to abandoning more than 150 mentally disabled homeless patients in dangerous neighborhoods over a two-year period. College Hospital will pay a $1.6 million penalty under a settlement with city attorneys. So-called “hospital dumping” is believed to be a widespread practice in the United States.

i suppose this needs no comment. isn't it something how those who are supposed to protect us often endanger us? philly police used to pick up gang members from one part of town and drop them off in rival territory.

well, the art of "dumping" continues.
