Hiring practices for staff members serving people in hospitals should be regulated, improved and monitored. I'm glad they got caught. When no one is watching or listening plenty of abuse can prevail.

God, mans inhumanity to man is horrific. I have to keep reminding myself so as not to become to depressed: humans CAN be good, humans CAN be good....

I'm not a violent man- at all- but I wouldn't complain too bitterly if someone were to beat those jackasses with a rubber hose for an hour or two. Then, of course, jail. This has effectively wrecked the day. So sad. I didn’t watch the video- I think I can pretty much imagine the degrading, disgusting treatment these people were subjected to by these thugs.

I guess being of a "thug" or "gangsta" mentality is a prerequisite of this "school's" job requirement. Sorry for the stereo-typing. Just calling it like I see it. My god, the terror those patients must have felt. Disgusting. I guess being of a “thug” or “gangsta” mentality is a prerequisite of this “school’s” job requirement. Sorry for the stereo-typing.
