#NBCNews #ElderAbuse #Livestream
If they ever looking for a job after they get out, my dad needs a caretaker. If he thinks he’s getting away with all those whoopings, he has another thing coming.
Ghetto and nasty
Same type of people as always
That’s What Happens, When You Leave These Dumb Smart Kids,With Your Parents And Grandparents
I was a Home health aide and this is UNACCEPTABLE !
They deserve everything they get. Thats awful.
bro abuse is not what happened in that video at all.
I bet you wouldn’t say that if that was your mama and two white cnas😂🤣😋
Wow that’s sad. I work at a dementia caring for elderly and you really need to have compassion… I’m thankful I display that and my residents even tell me that they love me. I never understand why people with the lack of empathy decide to work at these places. There are some amazing workers out there too, just so you guys know. Pray over your grandparents to be well taken care of .
This is what happens when you constantly reward and make excuses for a group of people for their bad behavior instead of giving them severe, lasting consequences.
LIKE ME IN TAMPA BEING STALKED HARASSED ASSAULTED DEHUMANIZING BULLIED BY LAWENFORCEMENT HELPING BULLYING ME
Disgusting
Now do a search for nursing home abuse and see if you notice a pattern.
I’ve known so many people like this. They’re everywhere.
let them rot in prison. there is no excuse for abusing an elder dementia patient. no excuse.
LOL… The censors keep deleting my comments…
Shytiona Bishop
This is NOT a rare occurrence, its just not always on film. I want to take a frying pan to that face of hers
I hope they go to jail.
I agree this is horrible and embarrassing, they should equally talk about the state of the nursing field,extremely short staff,lack of supplies etc.If they truly cared they would not state regulate 20 to one ratio.Adress the whole.
Up the age requirement for CNAs.
im a health care worker that made me throw up sorry for the language but it did that made me cry.
This is disgusting
Anyone who abusess vonerable should be fired from there job and sent to prison for life
My mom is an RN and she constantly complains about how neglectful, rude, and unprofessional the CNAs at her job can be. They stay making life harder for the nurses because they treat it like a McDonalds job. It’s sad because it could be them one day in need of care.
😭 how disgusting and despicable!
Typical fatherless Democrats….
Unbeweaveable…
Years ago my MIL was a caring loving CNA in South Florida… she reported several of the nursing homes she worked at and had to quit each one.PLEASE watch over for your loved ones!
I’ve worked in EMS and in hospitals for almost a decade. This kind of disgusting behavior goes on WAAAYYY more often than you’d think. If you have a loved one in a care facility, I’d almost guarantee that something similar has happened to them, or someone they know. HOLD CARE WORKERS ACCOUNTABLE.
Sad. Think of all the incidents that we DON’T KNOW about 😢
These incidents are not rare. This one just happened to make it on camera.
Report to State Omsbudson
Hope those two disgusting excuses for human beings get a HUGE wake up call and much needed lesson sitting in jail for a few days.
There goes that criminal complexion, actin’ a fool like always. 😂😂😂😂😂
The whole country is disgusted. Lock those two pieces of s*** up and make them face the same thing they did to her
I think this could be very serious for these two women, and based on the fact they’re black, it is not impossible to think that they may receive an extremely harsh punishment, they may actually do 10 to 20 minutes in a local jail before being let out…..
Disgusting !!
bye there goes your career
Low life ghetto individuals. LOCK Them UP.
Charge them with a hate crime. If it was two white girls doing this to an elderly black woman, we all know what would happen….
The minimum age to work with elderly patients should be age 35 or older because they seem more mature.
This is disgusting. Dementia patients don’t know how to escape what may seem like a perpetual, never-ending abuse cycle. I sincerely hope these two young women receive the maximum punishment by law.
Don’t worry when they get old they won’t be able to afford a retirement home
The CNAs are under appreciated and under paid, this is just awful, forced to work overtime and not be paid for all hours worked, there needs to be regulations enforcement,
Training and supervision.
Facilities are disgusting, and abuse patients or residents, all to make more money for the corp. This is an outrage!
Stupid is as stupid does. Yes, let’s live stream your crime for everyone to see. Wish more idiots would take this example.
they do…YouTube, TikTok etc are full of them
These are ignorant bad women and clearly was not mature enough to take care of the most vulnerable. This is how black women are, so ghetto and lack class. I pray for that elderly person
Parents must be so proud 😡
WHY ARE GIRLS THAT YOUNG WATCHING OVER ELDERLY SMH
What cruelty and what horrible people. 😢
Heartbreaking treating people you are hired to care for. Good luck Jail. Hope you serve so much time in prison.
As a CNA that workers in hospitals and nursing homes. I’m never sending any of my family members to one. I never understood why someone would pay for school, go thru clinicals, state test, etc. just to treat ppl like this. It can’t be for a check we not making that much. Sister girl is just evil.
Young people out of control
I tell the few family & friends I deal with that this is what we have if we go to such a place. I’m very disturbed by this…….
Glad they are being charged
They are not rare it’s more common
You see sometimes a fast dollar making just isn’t no good when u having unprofessional people come to do an honest day’s work.
Inhuman! I really hope they get a long sentence .
They are out. Better watch their backs!
So dumb. You will get old yourself. SHAME ON YOU. Remember you reap what you sow😢😢
Disgusting. 18 and 20 years old. Two kids. Never should have been hired.
Dumb BW filming there own crimes. Police lock them broads up
This is why the future is doomed. These zoomers and doomers are straight trash. Theyre more focused on tik tok and ig than doig their GD jobs. Imagine this is the same generation thats going to inspect airplanes later. Your a fool if you fly an airplane 10 yrs from now. Theyre gonna be making a video or some BS over fixing or inspecting a plane right. The world is literally in big trouble once the current work force all retires. Scares me that one day these trash generations will be in charge of anything.
I’m sure they will get out of jail free . That’s the way today has become. Sick Bit#hes!
Ruin your life to get clout. Were these girls born stupid or do they just identify as stupid?!
I hope these two live very long lives….
To be honest I see behavior like this almost everyday in nursing homes. Why were they charged with voyeurism, that doesn’t make sense. From the video, I dont know what type of charges would stick. However, parading them in front of millions of people hand cuffed is almost as humiliating to them as live streaming that lady. I think maturing and some sensitivity classes will do them well. I see people referring to them as animals, but white people have a tendency of referring to blacks as animals anyways. I saw two very immature females broadcasting somethings that they shouldn’t have. This generation has no boundaries or filters. I think they need to be banded from working with people in need of care for about ten years so they can mature.
If you don’t think there’s a mental health crisis in America, the fact that cuckoos don’t believe that they will punished for the crimes they broadcast is proof to the contrary.
Britches will get what they deserve life or DOA
What the crap people need to respect our elders drives me crazy and she older lady has dementia makes me sick
DISGUSTING! PREDATORS
Of corse there black
Oh going down creeps.
These are the people taking care of the helpless elderly. Often they dont have Family, never get visitors, they cannot protect themselves or report abuse, they are utterly alone and forgotten. They were us once!
Disgusting women!! 😡
I work as a caregiver and love my job. I always wanted to be in the medical field since i was 4 cause i wanted to help and care for others. I hate seeing these people treat this woman like this. It’s not her fault she is disabled. I feel for this woman. Just breaks my heart. There are so many people who shouldn’t be in the medical field if they don’t truly care about those they are caring for! 😡
Now had ya’ll done this in Mexico (h*ll ya’ll could’a killed em’?) you’d probably be AG!??
Just ask Shanquella Robinson – oh yeah, YOU CAN’T!
This is exactly why the why I never placed my mother in a nursing home before she passed away with dementia and Advance Alzheimer’s. I took care of my mother on my own, and it was a real privilege. If I had to do it again, I would.
We took care of Mom and Dad in their home. There’s no way they were going to be cared for by others. Yes it was hard sometimes but the most important thing I ever did in my life. They gave us everything they could through the years it’s the least we could do in return. I treasure each and every moment with them.
Look at who they hire
Unfortunately with the police we need body cams I’m guessing we need more surveillance in the prisons juvenile facilities and nursing homes very sad
Some very stupid evil people here. If these animals live to old age I hope they get the same treatment.
Well. I can guarantee you. They ain’t laughing now. Watch there tears in court.
These are some truly insidious people…
I hope those elderly people at the nursing homes are okay..
I hope these fake nurses who hurt old people are put in prison soon.
They both will reap their karma when they get old!
Let’s talk about all those people who should have never died from what the hospitals claim was COVID-19, now I can tell some horrific stories behind the fraudulent acts during COVID-19 covid it brought to my eyes , while people in the medical field covered up abuse an looked the other way
18 and 19 years old! I hope the family sues these people. My mom is in the early stages of dementia. Right now she stays at home with a caretaker.
A law must be past to ban doctors, nurses, health care workers etc. from ever recording and posting videos on social media. I hope both girls get what they truly deserve and I’m not talking about jail time
Great example of why so many A A are shut off daily. If this person who is being abused someone I love they wouldn’t last a week.
Wow
These two evil demons will fit right in where they are headed.
Stop hiring hood rats. Cows like this did something sneaky and mean to my dad when he was in a skilled nursing facility.
Start checking for fungus like Candida Auris too.. It’s all over hospitals , hotels and senior facilities and living quarters.
Revoke their license and practice!
This is just as sick, and reprehensible as child-abuse. Laws must be changed to make punishment appropriate….that means prison. They should be required by law to register as, Elder Abusers.
If you have a love one. Please get a camera in the room 😮😢😢😢😢to protect your family
What did they do wrong
When you see what Americans have done in other countries this seems like normal American behavior
What kinda laugh is that
