i have a friend who was a parapalegic and is dead now,
but, he once talked about a time that his attendant
left him laying in his bed while a woman just
undressed him and had her way. he did not want me to
report it. i guess since he is gone now, i can relate
that. yes the disabled can very quickly be put at the
mercy of some people that will show none.
