Panorama Tuesday 31st May 2011 9.oo pm
On the top floor of a special hospital, locked away from their families and friends, a group of men and women are subjected to a regime of physical assaults, systematic brutality, and torture by the very people supposed to be caring for them.
The victims are some of the most vulnerable in society – the learning disabled, the autistic, and the suicidal. In a Panorama Special, Paul Kenyon exposes the truth about a gang of carers out of control, and how the care system ignored all the warning signs.

Thugs clearly. When in control of someone or something knowing they are vulnerable and the carers not having the training,intelligence,patience and caring to look after them. This is what separates the decent from the thug in all walks of life.That terrible need to control something badly.
