Are my human rights being violated? (Please help.)

[AspergersGamer]

Well, long story short, I'm an informal patient at a care home for people with the autistic spectrum disorder, I was told I was going to be here for 3 months for assesments, The assesments weren't even done until the six month I was here due to completly useless staff, while I've been here I've been told I can't use words like 'bad' or 'naughty' or 'problem' because it may upset one of the other (For sympathys sake let's just call them 'service users') service users, is this not a violation of my right to free speech? I've also had to go without food or tobacco for days on end because there's been no staff to take me to do my shopping (This damned place is in the middle of freaking no-where, littarly, miles of fields and nothing else surround it), on one occasion I went to get some food from MacDonalds and the staff member that was 'shadowing' me stopped me from walking ten feet to the garage to buy some tobacco (Again, I'm totally informal) and he did this by forcably grabbing me painfully, the staff here lie to me constantly because they must think I'm some kind of idiot, they search my mail, when I come back from going out they search me (Pat me down) ((Is this not an unlawful search?)), they unlock my door from the outside and barge in (For all they know I'm indecent, they don't give a flying fuck), is this also not a major invasion of my privacy?

I'm also in a perpetual state of stress depression and anxiety because the other 'service users' keep punching holes in walls, threatening to kill everyone, burn the place down, on numourous occasions staff have been physically assulted resulting in broken bones, I'm a vulnerable person that can't / won't defend myself physically, and they still put me here.

Can I take any legal action? Do they have any right to put me through this psychological tourture and degrading treatment?

hi, not sure I can offer much advise as I know jack about the law.... maybe if you tell us roughly where you are, england or scotland as the law may differ.. also your age?

I'm sure someone will be able to offer good advise here...

I would try to take legal action. Any of these mental health detentions in my experience are false imprisonment and in my experience Oxford Health NHS commit crimes against humanity the staff are also incredibly violent and can't do anything about mental health problems.

I live in England (UK), bedfordshire.
Thanks for the help everyone, this place is making my life a living hell.

As your problems are complicated have you thougth about contacting Mencap to see if they can either help you with your needs or your rights??? Mind can help with the mental health problems, whereas Mencap will help with your other problems.


Look after yourself

The other thing I would do is ask to go somewhere else and tell them why. Why should you have to put up with violence from the others there including the staff it's totally unacceptable. You also need to be somewhere near a town or somewhere where you can go shopping and get the things you need. I would look into that.
