Parents Leave Teen in Hospital for 6 Hours After Mental Health Check
Jeffery Scheda (41) and Amanda Osmon (36) were arrested and charged with neglect after refusing to retrieve their 13-year-old child from St. Vincent hospital following a mental health evaluation. The parents, allegedly intoxicated, ignored multiple attempts by a social worker to arrange pickup after a dispute with the child. Police were called when the parents failed to appear, and subsequent investigation revealed their contradictory statements and admitted negligence. The child had been admitted to the hospital after a fight with Osmon. Both parents were arrested and charged.
