I fear for humanity, I really, really do And of course Daddy dearest to one of the girls is fighting the charges.

FUCKERS!

Fucking disgusting little bitches. There are not enough swear words in my vocab to convey how much this pisses me off.
Does it make them feel superior or important to hurt people who cant take care of themselves?
I care for Alzheimers residents, and 80% are completely dependent on the caregivers for their daily needs. If this is what they got caught doing, I can only imagine what else they did. This is only one part of abuse. I dare say they were negligent as well. Makes me want to go to Minnesota and give those poor residents some love.
They are losing their memories, unable to do tasks that they have been doing most of their lives, are embarrassed that they need help, and have a lot of fear and anxiety as a result. And little fuckwads like this spit on them, taunt them, and grope them?
WTF kind of person do you have to be...GAH!!
I want to scream and throw my computer at the wall, but I'm crying at the same time.

I hope they just feel fucking fabulous sitting in jail.

I hope to god they never step foot in this area, I don't think I could stop myself from letting loose on them. FUCK YOU, YOU SCUM OF THE HUMAN RACE. I HOPE YOU SIT AND ROT!

I posted this same thing on a nursing forum I frequent.

I seriously just dont have the words to express how this makes me feel.

I don't work in the medical field (yet, anyways), but I love older folks. Absolutely love them. They don't deserve to be treated like this; they're human beings and deserve dignity, dammit! Those are someone's parents, spouses, grandparents . . . can you imagine your own relatives being treated like this when they're no longer able to care and sometimes even think for themselves?

My mother is displaying symptoms of early onset Alzheimers, and if she ever needed care in a rest home and I found out people had done this they would have to hide forever. I hope these girls end up in the same situation as the people they have been "looking after"

I read about this on The Smoking Gun. Sadly, elder abuse isn't a new phenomenon. I'm just glad most of my elderly relatives were, and still are well cared for. In fact, I wish that all nursing homes were as nice as the one my Great-Aunt Norma and Uncle John lived in their later years.

Not to be miss killjoy here, but is there any evidence anybody actually did anything? The guy in the clip even says the (alleged) victims can't possibly remember and there are no witnesses. They're going entirely on what the girls said on a MySpace page? Because ... nobody ever lies on one of those, right?

Even if it turns out they didn't, who the hell jokes about stuff like that?

Exactly. What we have are two very sick little mofos.

Oh sure, it's sick to joke about it too. I'm just bemused by the assumed guilt that goes on in discussions of this ilk.
