Nurse ab*ses her patient and it was all caught on camera

A case in St. Cloud, Florida is raising serious concerns about trust and oversight in home-based medical care, particularly for families caring for loved ones who cannot speak or physically defend themselves.

Authorities say a 24-year-old home health nurse has been arrested and charged with a felony after investigators reviewed home surveillance footage that allegedly showed the mistreatment of an 18-year-old disabled woman. The victim is non-verbal and has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, according to police.

The arrest followed concerns raised by the victim’s mother, who noticed unexplained marks on her daughter’s face earlier this month.
