"Teens Charged in Nursing Resident Abuse"

Two teenage girls who worked at a nursing home have been charged with abuse. They have been accused of spitting on, taunting, and groping residents who suffer from Alzeheimer's disease.
19 year old Brianna Broitzman and 18 year old Ashton Larson laughed earlier this year when they spat in a mouth of one of the residents, poked and groped her genitals and breasts, and mocked them.
Both Broitzman and Larson have been charged as adults.


Broitzman and Larson, who worked as part-time aides at the home, have been charged as adults.
Larson's father disputed the charges against his daughter in a statement. "Not all of the charges are as they appear. Much of this has been distorted by the news media," Michael Larson said in the statement.
"My daughter was doing nothing more than performing the duties of her job."
No one would answer the phone Thursday morning at Broitzman's home. There was no information that were in court records on attorneys for either teen.

This is just completly sad. What type of beings are we? It is insane and miscreant for ADULTS to do such a crime. I hope karma bites them in the ass, big time. Those patients are disable, not people who you mess with. Nursing homes need to find sincere, patient, and understanding workers.
