I realize that many people would rather watch an up beat video about the lives of people with disability issues. However, we cannot forget about those who suffered through years of isolation and abuse at the hands of institutions. Many of these people were institutionalized and abused because of their disability and they will spend the rest of their lives re-living horrific memories. One man recalls it being a prison sentence after spending 18 years of his life in an institution.

What a sad state of affairs. There will be many to pay a true price and sentence for inflicting this abuse.
Unfortunately, some of our care agencies are still poorly trained to help these people adjust to what life is supposed to be about.
Respect for fellow man is still required around the world!
This is horribly sad, but a must watch for all.
A friend of mine and psychologists once said that the real disability is loneliness.
You are right Chris about loneliness! Well done friend!
