(NYT2) CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- Feb. 15, 2003 -- MENTALLY-ILL-KIDS -- For the parents of some severely mentally ill children, the pursuit of medical care has come to this last, desperate step: giving up custody of their children and turning them over to New York's child welfare agencies so that they can get the care that they otherwise cannot afford or gain access to. Repeatedly, these parents say, they are told that giving up their children is the only way to help them. For those who cannot handle the costs left over when private insurance runs out, the number of state-financed beds for mental health patients is tiny and the wait long. Elaine Kendall with her daughter Jamie in their Cheektowaga, N.Y., home on Feb. 8, 2003. Kendall said she did everything she could to avoid having Jamie sent away. She tried, unsuccessfully, to get her into a children's psychiatric hospital or a day treatment program. The Erie County Social Services Department provided a succession of social workers and crisis counselors, but turnover was so rapid that they rarely had a chance to see Jamie in a crisis period.
