“[My son's] arm was wrenched up behind his back until the bone snapped,” one mother said.
LONDON — A British Parliamentary committee says many people with autism or learning disabilities are being detained in “horrific” conditions and is calling for an overhaul of the system intended to evaluate their treatment.
The committee described hearing about one particularly distressing episode from the mother of a young man with learning disabilities. “This inquiry has shown with stark clarity the urgent change that is needed,” committee chair Harriet Harman said in a statement. “What we saw does not fit our society’s image of itself as one which cares for the vulnerable and respects everyone’s human rights.”
