Carers jailed for 'humiliating' disabled patients
Extract:
"Three "cruel and despicable" care home staff who encouraged patients to fight and racially abuse each other were each jailed for six months today.
During an "abhorrent" year-long reign of terror they systematically preyed on the mentally and physically vulnerable from behind a facade of love and concern, the court heard.
In one incident a carer encouraged a Down's Syndrome patient to "beat up" a fellow resident afflicted with autism."
