"'fight club' set up at school for mentally disabled, police say"
Permalink  

Workers at a residence for the mentally disable are believed to have been staging "fight clubs" between the residence. Videos on cell phones are proof of this. police captain tim Wilson says ""That is what makes this an exceptional case. It is not the workers abusing the clients, so to speak. The workers are not hitting them, but they are allowing these clients to fight with each other, thereby endangering their well-being." Seven school employees placed on leave; arrest warrants are pending, and no clients are seen crying, upset or injured on the videos, police say

i think this is kinda sick. they shouldnt be staging fights between people who potentially dont know any better. this is exploitation at its finest.

i think its wrong on the advisors part for letting the kids fight. i dont think the kids being mentally disabled should really be an issue considering everyone is always trying to make them feel 'normal' and treate them 'normal' anyway. like in classes at school they get treated easier if anything but in a way were all taught to not treate them as if there different. i dont really know how to write it out about how i think or feel about the situation, it might be coming out a little offensive in a way?but over all im just saying the situation of what happened is wrong in any situation if your mentally disabled or not..

its sad that the workers were taking advantage of the mentally disabled people. they should be fired and prevented from working with anyone disabled or any children ever again. jail time or a really big fine would be nice too.

the workers taking videos of the disabled fighting and laughing while their doing it
is just so WRONG. theres not funny about that...its just cruel.

jail time, a fine, and a APOLOGY to the disabled is what
the workers need to do.

jerks!


they should be punished...it's kind of like dog fighting (which is illegal), but even worse it's with humans.
