6 Teens Charged in Nursing Home Abuse

ALBERT LEA, Minn. — For six assistants at an Albert Lea nursing home, poking, taunting and groping the vulnerable adults in their care was a laughing matter, prosecutors alleged Monday in filing criminal charges against the teens.

Two of the former Good Samaritan Society employees — 19-year-old Brianna Broitzman and 18-year-old Ashton Larson — are charged as adults, while the other four are considered juveniles in the Freeborn County case.

Messages left by The Associated Press for Broitzman and for an attorney representing Larson were not immediately returned Monday.

According to the criminal complaint, the teens laughed earlier this year as they spat in residents' mouths, poked and groped their breasts and genitals and at times taunted them until they screamed.

The four juveniles are charged with failing to report the incidents. A total of eight teens were allegedly involved in the incidents, but there was no record of criminal charges being filed against two of them.

Broitzman and Larson are charged with assault, abuse of a vulnerable adult by a caregiver, abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, disorderly conduct and failing to report suspected maltreatment. All are gross misdemeanors.

If found guilty, Broitzman and Larson "most likely will face suspended jail sentences and probation, so they'd have the threat of jail hanging over them if they get in more trouble," Freeborn County Attorney Craig Nelson told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Department of Health released a report in August showing that 15 residents with Alzheimer's disease or other dementia disorders were abused at the facility between Jan. 1 and May 1.

According to the complaint filed Monday, one of the aides said the group gathered at work or school to "talk and laugh about the incidents."

Mark Anderson, administrator at the Good Samaritan Society in Albert Lea, told WCCO-TV that the past few months have been difficult for the staff, the home's residents and their families.

"We are just really thankful that the proceedings are moving forward and hopefully can see some closure to this whole process," Anderson said.

It is hard for me to grasp that these women will not get any jail time for this. They are both fairly attractive, Brianna is gorgeous, and you can tell they think way too highly of themselves or they would not have done these things to these defenseless people. A few months in jail might do a world of good for their attitudes.

I just don't understand why someone would want to do things like that to defenseless elderly people.

Make sure it is a men's prison.

I think about a week would be just about right.

nah, 2 weeks

and I can't say what they should give the men in the prison to help punish the women.
 
What I would like to know is why were these teens allowed to care for patients without more experienced staff with them? The one girl states she worked there for 2 yrs. I'm sorry, but you will not see any teens doing patient care in nursing homes in this area. The only place you'd see them working is the kitchen and maybe bringing trays up at meal times. I know it's different once they're over 18, but I would still think a nursing assistants program would last a certain amount of months. Obviously, they did not have to be certified if they were working as assistants that young. Sadly, we've had adults abuse patients as well.

This is why when our dad went into the nursing home, we chose one we could get to easily and quickly. We could have picked a fancier place, but it wouldn't have been as convenient for us to get to see him. As it was, I don't know if there was a single day when my dad didn't have one of us there. Most days we all went at different times of the day or sometimes twice in one day. When you show your presence and they don't know when someone just might show up, you can be more assured someone won't "pull something." I'd advise anyone who has to have a loved one in a nursing home to make their presence known. Get to know the staff. We have to put our trust in these people to take care of our loved ones at their most vulnerable times.

What is scary is, these girls worked the over-night shift. I know they've closed nursing homes here and also put hidden cameras in some questionable ones to protect these vulnerable people and to punish those who would abuse them.

I can't even type in a public forum what I think about those girls. They did this for "fun?" It's just unimaginable.
