\nNursing Home Attack<\/p>\n
Poetrooper sent us the article about an unconscionable attack on a 75 year old patient in a Detroit nursing home a couple of days ago. It’s taken this long for me to calm down enough to post the story; if nothing else I’ve learned posting in anger is never a good idea.<\/p>\n
Seems a 20 year old patient with mental issues was sharing the victims room, videoed his 90 second attack, and posted that act to the internet. Horrified viewers forwarded that to the local police, who made an arrest.<\/p>\n
Fox News Link<\/a><\/p>\n The home’s administrators and staff were made aware of the assault when the police arrived. Let that sink in for a minute and perhaps y’all can understand my anger.<\/p>\n Now the lad’s family is speaking up.<\/p>\n By Peter Aitken<\/strong><\/p>\n The father of a man captured on video beating up a Detroit nursing home resident has claimed that his son has a history of mental illness, and that he shouldn’t have been in the facility following a coronavirus diagnosis.<\/p>\n The shocking video surfaced on Thursday, showing the unnamed 20-year-old resident beating up another patient at the Westwood Nursing Center. The video went viral, even attracting the attention of President Trump, who reacted on Twitter with disbelief.<\/p>\n Now, the younger man\u2019s father has said that his son was never meant to be in the facility in the first place. Neither the son nor the father have been identified in any reporting, partially because no charges have yet been filed.<\/p>\n He claimed that his son was put in the facility after a 911 call, but he was meant to be moved after a COVID-19 diagnosis.<\/p>\n “It should’ve never happened because he should’ve never been put in that environment,” the father told FOX 2 Detroit. “I just don’t want people to think that he’s this vicious individual. He’s got mental issues.”<\/p>\n The father further revealed that his son has a pending case in Washtena County, where he is accused of assaulting a staff member at another home. He claims his son has long suffered from behavioral issues and was not properly monitored at Westwood.<\/p>\n “Had I known he was there I would’ve never have consented to it,” the father said.<\/p>\n Police and care home faculty had originally been unaware of the incident. After the video went viral, users on social media reached out to police to report it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The victim was transported to a presumably more professional health care facility with non-life-threatening injuries, and this is a very good place for me to say, <\/p>\n Read the rest here: Fox News.<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, Poe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Father of patient who beat elderly man at Detroit nursing home says son shouldn’t have been there, suffers from mental issues<\/h3>\n
