Horrendous news out of Philadelphia where 3 people have been arrested after 4 mentally disabled adults described as having the mental capacity of 10 year olds were found chained behind a steel door in a basement. They were malnourished, with only a bottle of water between them. The room smelled of the bucket they had to use for their body wastes.
The 3 arrested adults, as reported on MSNBC with contributions from Reuters and the Associated Press, are suspected of having used the disabled adults for access to their social security and disability cheques.
Vile, disgusting, loathsome. The English language doesn't really have words to adequately convey the foul character of those responsible for such crimes. Hopefully the justice system in Philadelphia arrives at the truth, convicts those responsible and sentences them to the harshest possible sentences.
