Elderly person allegedly abused by nursing home worker

 


A photo has been circulating online of a woman, reputed to be a nursing home worker, abusing an elderly, infirm person.
The photo is said to be of a nursing home in West Trinidad and was taken by a concerned citizen.
The photo shows the woman standing over and partly on the elderly man, possibly hurting him.
Users on social media have protested against the photo, which suggests that the elderly man may be abused by the institution.
“Oh gosh noooo what that poor man could do her? No one deserves that kind of treatment. God sees everything and he'll deal with her,” said one person.
“Now how one could do this?? I don't know what people think or how they think in this time.....this place is evil,” said another.
“How can this nurse woman be so heartless,” said another.
One user said: “We have to constantly check on our love ones when they are in these homes.”
The photo has been sent to the authorities to be investigated.
Authorities and NGOs are concerned with recent incidents of abuse in the media, including the recent video of a child being abused by a St Joseph man.
The man is currently being apprehended by the authorities.
