I hope if anyone knows any of the scum bag bastards who worked at that horrific place they give them severe retribution.

I think this stems from thick people ending up in roles working with people they don't understand. I only caught the end but seeing a little bit more on the news now and the 'care' workers clearly feel their patients are just misbehaving. Unfortunately this World does serve up a large amount of f***ing idiots that don't have the brain cells they're born with.

I wish we could just exterminate them based on evidence that they're clearly too stupid to exist.
 
My twin sister was born with profound disabilities. As she aged she developed behavourial problems. Back then, we were born in the early 50's, there was little support and little understanding. My dear old Mum spent her life fighting to keep out of the care system but as she herself aged and the problems worsened there was no alternative but to surrender my twin to residential care. It wasn't ideal be any means but the staff were, appeared, dedicated, patient and humane.
To watch this programme has me heartbroken. To think that all these years later, with all the changes in society for the better, all the greater understanding we allow the most vulnerable members of our society to be treated in this manner is beyond shocking.
We should be judged as a society by how we treat our most vulnerable members.
It's 8 years after Winterbourne. Private health care, profit driven, isn't the way it should be. And there should now be criminal prosecutions not just of the staff directly involved but the whole managerial pyramid over and including those who inspected and procured the providers.

Completely agree, it takes a certain "kind" of person to be a carer especially one for mentally ill patients, profit before people, pay peanuts and get monkeys come to mind.

Learning disability services are in crisis all over the country. People are treated like prisoners, have "privileges" removed and are isolated, excessively physically restrained and detained in hospitals for literally years for being unwell because the funding and expertise to support them in the community just isn't there. Support staff that are fundamental to supporting people to develop independence and skills whilst overcoming challenging behaviour are paid less than staff at Aldi or Tesco's and private hospitals charge up to 5000 pounds a week claiming to provide specialist care. It's a f***ing scandal that eight years on from Winterbourne view next to nothing has changed, even more scandalous when there are small, independent not for profit organisations that do have the skills to support incredibly complex individuals in the community for less with better outcomes but no one learns from their good practice.

I completely agree that lack of funding is an important factor in causing these problems. Having said that, that would explain standards of care and safeguards falling short. It doesn't explain staff being actively evil like this

I work with young people with ASD and various other conditions and a complete understanding of their needs just comes naturally so it really, really winds me up when other people just don't get it. I cannot understand how anyone could step into that environment (or any other environment that 'supports' those with additional needs) and just presume screaming & other behaviours is just bad behaviour that will subside with consequence and punishment. It amazes me that these idiots can remember to stick one foot in front of the other when walking. Beyond belief. The level of stupidity they display means they cannot possibly provide anything worthwhile to the World.
 
The provision of care should never be behind profit in priorities (the same as virtually all public services) . No doubt there's many excellent privately run care establishments who understand the importance of care first, but f***ing hell, these morally bankrupt bastards lining their own pockets first should rot in hell.
