I hope that this doesn't still happen in USA. I'm in Ireland. I consider myself lucky as I hadn't institutionalized when I was formerly speech-impaired child. I was mute and accordingly had lost many years of normal education. I saved myself through self-teaching as I had aspirations to do well in life and live well. I desired dignity, which was once denied to me, but I fought against prejudices and obstacles. I persisted in everything and succeeded. My speech is now fine and so is my life.
you know mentally disabled people still have a mind it just doesnt work very well but these places take there mind completely with drugs they have no chance of rehabilitation and its outright torture. i'd rather die than be in this
First this video is beyond horrorfying. Second, i know I probibly shouldn't say this, but the narroater's voice terrifies me. I know that sounds selfish, but I wonder if the narrator frightens you.
hey I know I'm not mother teresa here, don't tell me I'm an awful human being for saying this. But I have a mild phobia of insane asylums and those that inhabit them. Their's something about them. The dead look in their eye. I'm sure they feel, of course... but they're not all there. And even with my fear/ fascination of them- I'm angry people let this get that way. Who'sever fault this is. The staff, the asylum owner, the funding, whatever- You don't deserve to live. Asshole.
I believe he's just covering his own butt. These images make me feel like the people didn't care about them, sad, and angry. No I don't know wat goes on there at that time. The interview made my jaw drop. They fired a doctor earier that wanted to help the residents. That's not right at all. All mentally challenged chidren deserve to be treat with respect and dignanty. Reguardless of how severe their mental state is. I should know i have a minor learning disability.
you forgot about Saul Kragman who did experiments on the kids at Willowbrook with Hepititis.....and how what was done is unethical to todays standards, but saved soooo many lives.
I feel so sad for the people that had to live in those conditions. Having a mental illness does not mean you shouldn't be treated with dignity and respect. I am a nurse, and I can't imagine working as a nurse in that era, in that asylum.
