Mother's agony after suicidal daughter escapes from mental health hospital despite being sectioned

A worried mother says her suicidal daughter escaped from a mental health hospital on numerous occasions.

The woman says her 21-year-old daughter, whose names are being withheld to protect their identity, was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and admitted to Griffin Ward at Prestwich Hospital ten months ago.

The mother, who lives in Collyhurst, says her daughter's mental health suffered terribly after her (the mother's) father died four years ago, and then further declined when she was attacked by two girls in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester last June.
