The real news is on the back page

Hospitals hire people with few qualifications and very little training for low paying jobs that bring them into direct contact with vulnerable people, then act surprised when things like this happen. People who cry openly at the death of a celebrity don't bat an eye over the abuse of people with disabilities. Celebrities, after all, are front page news, but this story was found in the back of the local section, where many shameful things reside.

That is shameful that these people did this. I really hate how people treat and view the disabled. I even hate the word disabled because it implies that they are unable to function. Yes some may need help but that does not mean they can not be a part of society and contribute to it in their own way.
