A FORMER state employee responsible for some of Texas’s most vulnerable residents has been convicted of injuring them during orchestrated fights at a state facility for the developmentally disabled.

GRAINY phone videos showing mentally disabled students forced to fight each other will likely be shown to jurors this week as four former employees at a Texas school go on trial.

An investigation has been launched into civil rights violations at a Texas school for mentally disabled people where staff were allegedly filmed watching fights between residents, FBI officials confirmed tonight.
