Associated Press Report: Disabled Kids Abused in Serbia
Serbia says allegations of abuse at mental institutions part of 'dark propaganda'
Liz Spikol is senior contributing editor of Philadelphia Weekly.

She also writes the paper's book review column, Lit Gloss. This blog -- named one of the Top 10 Bipolar Blogs of 2007 by PsychCentral -- is about mental illness policy, news, personal journeys and more.

It is deplorable that some people are treated inhumanely, but that is sometimes a relative term. Hospital conditions in Serbia are very primitive - exacerbated by the boycott and demonizing attitude that the very article hopes to address. It is like saying the Serbs are hungry, here is a picture, - then criticizing them for being against eating. Absurd logic, isn't it?
