There is no evidence a disability support agency abused a severely disabled man in Tasmania’s north-west, Premier Will Hodgman has said. But a disability advocate says the Government’s response to the case is not good enough. Details of abuse allegations relating to the care of Devonport man Theo Langmaid were aired on Wednesday night. Mr Langmaid has a brain injury after contracting meningitis as a four-month-old, and he requires around-the-clock care. His mother, Joyce Langmaid, claims her 26-year-old son was locked in a courtyard, thrown into a swimming pool, and restrained by having a couch placed on top of him while in the care of North-West Residential Services.
