Well done him for speaking out, and I hope they manage to find X the place of safety she so desperately needs. Round my way CAMHS seem to have a strategy of faffing about for months/years until the child/young person is almost 18, then refuses to get involved because "they'll come under adult MH services soon and the change will be disruptive".

YArrrrrNBU

Agree.
I think these services tend to think there isn't much they can do and let people languish.

Yanbu and I agree totally with what he's said however Munby is a pillock.

After me, a man who is prepared to stand up for his principles even if it might make him unpopular - swoon-.

YA definitely NBU. It's an absolutely dreadful situation, but it's fantastic that he has been prepared to speak out so publicly and with such strength. I only wish he could have summoned Hunt to come to give evidence in person to explain how this utterly shameful state of affairs has come about.

Munby is definitely no pillock. He's long had a reputation as one of our most principled judges.
