Girls Gone Wild - Are These The Faces of Evil? Minnesota Prosecutors Think So!
We discussed the tragedy of abuse and assault at Good Samaritan Society Nursing Home in Albert Lea, Minnesota in our previous blog. A total of eight teenagers were involved in the abuse of facility residents, but only six currently face charges. Two of the six teenagers will be charged as adults and face charges of fifth degree assault, abuse of a vulnerable adult by a caregiver, abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, disorderly conduct, and failing to report suspected mistreatment. The other four teenagers face charges involving their failure to report the abuse.
According to the criminal complaint, the teenagers tortured at least fifteen residents suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other dementia disorders. The teens are accused of laughing as they spat in residents' mouths, poking and groping their breasts and genitals and taunting the residents until they screamed.
They showed no remorse or fear of being caught. The girls openly discussed the abuse at school and breaks at work and were confident they would not be caught as the "residents did not have their minds".
