Suspected Abuse at Yokohama Disability Support Facility, Residents Called “Scum”, Locked in Rooms

According to those familiar with the situation, in late June a staff member verbally abused a male resident who was using the toilet, shouting remarks such as, “Come on, get it out (the feces),” and “You piece of trash.” The toilet door was also left open, allowing other residents to see him while he was defecating.
