THIS LINK takes you to a news video segment that you will find disturbing.
It shows cell phone video of the abuse and assault of people with developmental disabilities by their paid staff.
I cannot watch it a second time, the thought of it makes me nauseous. It represents my worst nightmare. It is incomprehensible in its utter cruelty. It is surely a hate crime, the perpetrators are criminals worthy only of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
For those interested in reading more about the incidence of abuse among people with intellectual, cognitive and developmental disabilities, the below links should sufficiently turn your stomach.
