People with disabilities "treated like non-humans" in group homes | 60 Minutes Australia

It shows the shameful bullying and physical abuse Lee-Anne Mackey received at the hands of the people employed to look after her at the group home where she lived. But as you'll see, these carers couldn't care less. They thought because Lee-Anne has severe cerebral palsy and is non-verbal, they'd get away with their vile behaviour. Now while it's correct Lee-Anne doesn't speak, she's not voiceless. Unknown to her attackers, she communicated the mistreatment to her parents, Lorraine and Rob, who then took the law into their own hands, using a hidden camera to expose a terrible truth.
