They present this story (click on the link in post title) as thought it's an extraordinary event, unfortunately this kind of stuff happens all the time in psychiatric wards, institutions, sheltered workshops, and ICF-MR's. At least this case got some media coverage....but what are we going to do about it? That's what I want to know.
This just highlights the fact that although we've made remarkable efforts to increase the visibility and rights of individuals with disabilities they are still viewed by the majority of society and by professionals, as seen in the tape, as sub-human and undeserving of simple common courtesy.
