"Granny Cam" Proves Abuse in Florida Nursing Home
A well-placed "granny cam" proved abuse of an eighty-eight year old resident of Bay Pointe Terrace, an assisted living facility in Broward County, Florida. Karlene Brown, a CNA, became angered at the resident, who suffers from dementia, grabbed her by her collar and dragged her into her room.
Brown faces one count of abuse of an elderly person, which is a third-degree felony. If she is convicted, she faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
