The scale housing today has fourteen people with Prader-Willi syndrome, a combination of mild intellectual disability, muscular weakness and uncontrollable appetite. The home was founded by a woman, who has a daughter with the syndrome, and her partner. They believed that the disease associated problems such as incontinence and scratching themselves, to shake off. '' He wants to break and re-educate '' said one of the employees from Omrop Friesland.

PUNISHMENT
For example, a girl who could not swim thrown for punishment in a pool, says an employee. Other occupants were thrown into a pool and then be put outside until she bumped blue. According to the staff, the residents dare to say anything, because, for example, threatened no food when they say something at home with a week.

Increased supervision
The institution has recently been placed under stricter supervision of the Inspectorate, since records were not in order and medication was administered by people who previously were not competent. The investigative department of the inspection has heard witnesses, but no evidence was from. Due to lack of evidence and because the shelter is already closely monitored by the inspection, do not judicial investigation.

The Labour Party asks staatssecetaris Martin van Rijn of Health and Minister Ard van der Steur of Justice for clarification on the situation in the Prader-Willi house, the Leeuwarder Courant reports.

Reign of terror
The owner does not respond opposite Omrop Friesland. However, says a doctor who acts as spokesman for him not to recognize the picture painted. '' I see it with these people is going very well and currently have no reason to think that there is some kind of terrorizing. ''
