Workers At School For Mentally Disabled Force Patients to Fight 7

Workers at a state school for mentally handicapped adults in Texas are accused of staging a "fight club" among residents. A cell phone containing videos of the fights, believed to have taken place in a school dormitory at the Corpus Christi State School, was turned over to police. Corpus Christi police Capt. Tim Wilson said, "This has been going on for some time. That is what makes this an exceptional case. It is not the workers abusing the clients, so to speak. The workers are not hitting them, but they are allowing these clients to fight with each other, thereby endangering their well-being. These people are charged with the care and custody of these clients, and they are exploiting (them)." The first and second rule of running a school for the mentally disabled is, no fight club.
