The article in The Guardian is about the neglect and torture inflicted on learning-disabled and autistic people in the UK. It discusses the various instances of institutional abuse that have been reported over the past decade, with many people being denied basic respect and subjected to violence and torture. Despite the mounting number of scandals, the article argues that people have become desensitized to them and that there is a glaring lack of accountability and meaningful action to address the issue. The article highlights recent revelations of abuse at three residential schools in and around Doncaster, run by the Hesley Group, which is owned by Antin Infrastructure, and proposes reforms to the national system of care and education to prevent further instances of abuse.
