Willowbrook State School was a state-supported institution for children with intellectual disabilities located in the Willowbrook neighborhood on Staten Island in New York City from 1947 until 1987. The school was designed for 4,000, but by 1965 it had a population of 6,000. At the time, it was the biggest state-run institution for people with mental disabilities in the United States. Conditions and questionable medical practices and experiments prompted Senator Robert F. Kennedy to call it a "snake pit."

  • L'escola estatal de Willowbrook (Estats Units), era una escola finançada per l'estat per a nens amb discapacitat intel·lectual, localitzada a Staten Island, Nova York. L'escola es va fer tristament cèlebre en dues ocasions: en 1960 per un inescrupulós estudi mèdic, i en els anys '70 pels abusos comesos a l'escola, la qual cosa va estimular la nova legislació per als drets civils. L'escola va ser tancada el 1987 i els terrenys van ser habilitats per formar part d'un nou campus de la Universitat de Staten Island. (ca)

  • 威羅布克州立學校(英語:Willowbrook State School)美国一所為智力殘疾儿童設立的州立機構,位於纽约史泰登岛附近的。学校從1930年代开始使用至1987年。 這所學校原本設計容納4,000人,但在1965年有6,000人,是當時美國最大的为智力殘障人士所设立的公立機構。由于惡劣條件和有問題的醫學實驗,罗伯·肯尼迪稱其为“疯人院”。 公眾呼籲使得它在1987年關閉,也使得联邦进行民权立法,保護智障人士。 (zh)
