Do you think the staff restrained him for complaining about chest pain?

This is a "so-called" psychiatric treatment center but..... read who they won't accept:

New Hope is generally able to admit and treat adolescents whose behaviors  are such that they do not require excessive restraint or seclusion for their assaultive or destructive behaviors. Although in some cases we do accept and treat youth with histories of documented physical aggression, we cannot serve extremely aggressive residents who are likely to put other residents or staff at risk or who regularly disrupt the treatment of others.

Adolescents who are actively psychotic or have an Axis II personality disorder, autism, or pervasive developmental disorders are generally not appropriate for our programs.

Geez, that is usually what happens when posters abuse their privilege to post. They will be removed. Bravo, more editors should do the same.

Police investigate death of NC teen at SC facility

Associated Press - June 13, 2010 12:25 PM ET

ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) - Police are investigating the death of a North Carolina teenager at a South Carolina psychiatric treatment facility.

The Charlotte Observer reported that 17-year-old Levi Snyder of Lenoir, N.C., died Saturday morning at the New Hope Carolinas treatment center.

Rock Hill police Detective Kathy Harveston said the early investigation turned up no evidence of foul play. The teen was a patient at the center that treats emotionally disturbed adolescents. Harveston said Snyder had been treated for chest congestion last week and was on antibiotics.

The York County coroner is expected to conduct an autopsy this week.
