A Somerset teenager says if he doesn't get the psychiatric help he

Joe Dodd and his family who live in Radstock want him to be in hospital,

They say the local health service turned them down.

Our Health Correspondent, Matthew Hill, reports.

I can't carry on the way that I am living.

I have scars there, scars down my legs.

Covered in scars from years of self harm, Joe Dodd is

a very disturbed teenager who tried to kill himself in February.

I see the bad people that hurt me when I was young and I hear people

telling me to die and that my mum and dad don't love me.

He was sectioned under the Mental Health Act but

his mother says he was sent back to her a month later with no support.

And I found him on top of that building up there.

His conditions include post traumatic stress disorder,

something which Joe says stems from the time he was taken

into care as a 12`year`old because of his challenging behaviour.

It started in May 2012, when Joe disclosed about having

Joe needs psychiatric help and they are just saying he has not got

a treatable mental health illness and obviously I believe that PTSD is

And if he does not get help for his PTSD he hasn't got a future.

But a letter from another psychiatrist from the Priory group

says, if Joe is not able to be managed in the community, he should

be considered for an assessment at a specialist adolescent psychiatric

for Joe in Maidenhead warns it is highly unlikely Joe will recover

Inpatient services are not the cure for everything.

It is about a package of services before inpatient care,

I'm either going to go too far and kill myself or end up hurting

In a statement the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service,

which is responsible for Joe's care, says while it can't comment

on the case sometimes it's not in the patient's best interests to be

admitted to an inpatient unit, and there are a number of approaches

to supporting a patient safely and providing a package of effective

Rescue charities along the Bristol Channel coast say they've

already had an increased number of call`outs since schools broke up.

The Burnham Area Rescue Boat has been out three times

This was the beach at Burnham last weekend ` perfect for

trapping cars, and then it is a race against time and the rising tide.

It is not just cars that can get into difficulties here.

Over the past two days rescuers have had three call`outs involving

dog walkers where the pet has run onto the mudflats and the owner

has chased after it, not realising how quickly they can sink.

This long, warm summer means Burnham's beaches are busier than

ever, and most here enjoy the sand without ever having a problem.

But, despite the warnings, every single year there are always

just a few keeping the rescue volunteers on their toes.

The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow are officially open, and athletes

But in Glasgow, she is really expected to shine.

I am definitely there to compete this time.

Before, there were no expectations on me.

This year, if I do not perform to how I think I can and how I want to,

if I do not achieve my goals I will be very disappointed.

The family photo album is filling up fast with Siobhan's achievements.

The Commonwealth Games will be another chance

for the family to see her compete live, if their nerves can stand it.

Even though I am there, I have got my head down.

I tend to watch the scoreboard rather than her.

Instead of Glastonbury, she has been packing for Glasgow, where she will

the weather from Ian. Where we have seen some showers

there will be some parts of the West Country again prone to seeing

some showers and thunderstorms, as well, which if anything could be

heavier than some we've seen through It will be mainly towards the south

and south`west we have that threat. Otherwise a dry, fine,

very warm day for the majority. Through the course of the night,

temperatures settling from 16 to as high as 18 Celsius,

showers gradually fade away to the West, though it may take a while

Wednesday has been noticeable for a number of reasons. From a

meteorological point of view, it was the warmest day of the year for

Wales and Northern Ireland. Nothing like it across the East of Scotland,

where the temperature was locked firmly into the mid-teens thanks to

the presence of the low cloud and fog. It is there again as it has

been, making inroads through the Clyde Valley is, to the Tyne Valley

and areas east of the Pennines. Another very close night, 17, 18 or

19, something of that order. It will take some time on
