While I would like to believe in the comments of some above posters that the facility in question did its fair share of good, I frankly, have a hard time giving credence to people while they use terms like retard rather then mentally ill or physically impaired. A simple choice of words yet words are the conveyance of meaning.In my mind someone actually trained in caring for others would not so lightly use the term retard.

As someone who grew up with a mentally ill father and has visited care facilities for those so impaired, as well as for the elderly and physically infirm numerous times since child to adult I can personally attest to a general feeling of there being a lack of humanity from those working in such.

Even in supposedly quality facilities like the one my grandmother spent a healthy fortune housing her own grandmother in, where my great great grandma was abused by the employees including having her left wrist crushed by a young orderly grabbing her roughly, or her hip being displaced from being picked up from her wheel chair and thrown in her bed all by a young man I would only describe as your typical all american charming high school girls dream boat.

Abuse indeed happens. And its those least likely to inflict it who are also often blind to it even when its in plain sight.

So while I applaud those who truly have served in such places with good hearts and the desire to help others. Statistically 1 out of every 3 people in general has committed a sexual assault by the standards of decency and civil soceity( this includeds having sex with those too under the influence to make such judgment ie if they cant drive they cant consent to sex) means almost certainly in a place where so many ready made victims await helplessly, predators do come seeking such easy prey.

So I ask those who defend so vehemently how certain are you not of your own actions but those of those who worked with you shoulder to shoulder. Did that one with the quick and easy smile and kind eyes really possess a kind heart? Or where they a guise to fool the foolishly naieve?
