Around 2 a.m. Friday morning, Sean Trainor, who had been missing from his family since last Saturday, was found walking around Downtown Brooklyn.
Tom Sackett, who posted Sean’s photo to his twitter and facebook, said that he received a text message from a friend in the 84th Precinct early Friday bouncy castle morning saying he had found Sean.
The Trainor family has had a rough time locating Sean, who is schizophrenic and has not been able to take his medication during the time he was lost.
He first went missing last Saturday after he never came back from his daily walk. He was found around 3:45 a.m. on Thursday and brought to Woodhull Hospital in Bed-Stuy, but was lost again when the hospital discharged him, despite requests from his sister to keep him there until she could pick him up.
The hospital thought he was homeless and sent him away with a bus pass and the address of a homeless shelter in Manhattan.
“The hospital is just out of control sometimes,” Sackett said. “People are just walking in, walking in, walking in and the hospital gets backlogged.”
Sean was then missing from 4 a.m. on Thursday to when he was giochi gonfiabili found in Downtown Brooklyn around 2 a.m. on Friday.
Sackett got the text from his friend that Sean was found, and instead of being brought to a hospital, Sackett requested that Sean be brought to the 84th Precinct and detained there until his family could come pick him up.
Sackett said it appeared that Sean had not slept or showered when he was found.
“I am writing to inform everyone that Sean Trainor has been found,” wrote Colleen Cash-Klaar. “My husband and his sister Kerry Trainor are with him now. He’s on his way to get the proper help he needs. The Trainor family thanks everyone for their support and prayers. They finally have peace of mind.”
Sean Trainor, a 37-year-old Glendale resident, has been missing since 4 a.m. on Thursday.
A Glendale man has been missing since early Thursday morning after being found and then lost again after Woodhull Hospital in Brooklyn sent him to a homeless shelter despite requests from his family to hold him at the hospital.
While he could be anywhere, family members guess that he is still somewhere in Brooklyn.
Sean Trainor, a schizophrenic 37-year-old who lives with his mother in Glendale, went hüpfburg kaufen missing last Saturday, May 10, after he told his mother that he was going to go for a walk. He never returned.
Sean’s sister, Kerry Trainor, had been looking for him since she received a call Thursday morning, May 15, from the NYPD at about 3:45 a.m.
“I got a call from the 104th Precinct saying he was in the hospital,” Kerry said.
A sergeant recognized Sean from a photo posted on Facebook, and he was transported to Woodhull Hospital in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
Kerry called the hospital and asked for Sean to be held until she could pick him up.
She first had to drop her daughter off at school, but when Kerry showed up at Woodhull around 10:30 a.m., Sean was gone.
“I told them to hold him because he’s schizophrenic,” Kerry said. “They said, ‘Oh, we’ll hold him,’ and then by the time I got there they had released him.”
Kerry was then informed that the hospital treated Sean as if he were homeless.
He had some cuts on his feet, which they cleaned, and then they sent him away with a bus pass and the address of a homeless shelter in Manhattan.
Kathy Masi, the president of the Glendale Civic Association, who has been helping with public outreach to find Sean, said she was shocked at the news.
“I can’t believe they lost him,” Masi said. “People don’t understand the seriousness of mental health.”
“I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that bouncy castle our emergency rooms are so overburdened that the hospitals don’t spend the time or can’t spend the time to understand what’s going on,” she added.
Sean was last seen around 4 a.m. at Woodhull Hospital. Since he was given a bus pass, his sister believes that he could be in Manhattan, but she guesses that he walked from the hospital, down Myrtle Avenue to the Forest Park area.
Kerry said she does not know the state Sean is in as he has not been taking his medication. He has been living with his mother and taking medication twice a day for about ten years.
Anyone with information about Sean Trainor or his location should contact the police. The Glendale Civic Association facebook page is also being used to share updates and findings, and any information is appreciated.
