NEW YORK – A home health care aide was caught on video beating a 95-year-old Harlem woman she was supposed to be caring for.
Disturbing home video from Nest and Ring cameras were rolling as the home health care aide tasked with taking care of beloved grandmother Dorothy Foye hit her multiple times, at one point even with a pot. She eventually fell to the ground, clutching her walker.
“I heard this woman screaming at her, cursing, saying the most obscene things. She was cursing her out,” granddaughter Tiffany Mitchell said. “She was taking water bottles and juice bottles and cans and throwing them at my grandmother. She was just, like, walking around, she would toss something, then she would disappear.”
“I was trying to fight back”
The family was helpless and heartbroken as they watched it play out on their phones.
“I wanted to jump through the camera and beat her,” Mitchell said. “I’m screaming, Grandma, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m coming.”
