[puzzled]

The HMs keep justifying their behaviour towards Gary by saying respect has to be earned. However, there is an aspect of respect that a human being is entitled to.

How we treat people with dementia, brain damage, mental disease, and profound developmental delay says more about us than about them. Because they are feeling human beings, we accord them the kind of respect that makes sure they are well taken care of, physically and mentally.

The way in which we treat these people tells how we are as a people. The jackals in the house show no such regard, and BB must take some blame also.

An old man, in a lot of pain, reacts reflexively to fix his brace, and the lovely Dee acts like a Vestal Virgin who's never seen a penis, and James heaps opprobrium on Gary. It really would have been enough to calmly tell Gary that it would be better if it happened again, to ask for help. I'm sure Audley would help out.

No, James, you speak for yourself, not the GBP, not the civilised world.
