Do not exploit me!

People with intellectual disabilities are exploited: They are doing fatiguing jobs but they are not well paid and they are given even drugs. Other people say: They do not know the value of money. Parents of children with intellectual disabilities composed a song ( Birica) against drug usage ( hear it in audio window).
