A worker at a U.K. charity that helps people with a learning disability was suspended for allegedly placing bags on an elderly man in a wheelchair while she smoked a cigarette.

A picture of the incident went viral on Facebook.

Mencap, the disability charity, said it was appalled by the image, which shows a female cater smoking and talking on her phone while bags were piled on the man. His face was obscured.

I don't think she should work with vulnerable people.
