It's OK to let them know it's inappropriate instead of !!!!! footing around because of their disability.

The carer should have been paying attention, and noticed the first time the issue occurred and taken appropriate action then.

Unfortunately, I think that you have missed the point entirely.
Firstly, I am not condoning what he did, but I do think that the OP should have mentioned it ASAP.
Do you honestly think that attempting to explain to a person with serious mental issues would have any effect?
Having a serious mental problem, means that they cannot relate to anything which we take for granted, speech, logic, right and wrong - savvy?

I have just gone back through this thread I have had a post deleted can't say I am surprised really, I just loathe people who get offended on other's behalf.

Mine was deleted for asking whose AE 'he' was.

Bit surprised at that tbh, seems a tad extreme.


Edit: Actually I think I might have quoted him, so that's probably why. (You'd think I would remember for sure, it was only yesterday. :rotfl:)

How do you know how serious it was? How do you know what they can and can't relate to?
Patronising attitudes like the above used to lead to people with mild learning difficulties being confined in institutions whereas intervention and support could have helped them live a more "normal" life.

It is crucial that people with learning difficulties learn the borders of acceptable behaviour.

These have to be continually reinforced. No need for name calling.

Some require continuous help with boundaries, some can learn and some can never. My mum worked with a man who masturbated constantly. It took years but eventually they got him to confine this to his bedroom. I could tell a story about how he proved himself cleverer than a squad of council painters to.
