It looks like the torture these kids endured is trying to escape the room.

Gad, it's horrible to think children were secluded in these rooms.

It's sad that it took so many years for the public to realize that they are not outcasts, that they are humans and should be treated like one.

Sadly, not all mental health insitutions believe in this today.

I hope the people who tortured the mentally disabled back in the day are all burning and rotting in hell. Or even better, receiving the same treatment they enforced on them today...Or just have REALLY shitty lives..
