Accused Abusers Arrested

Five women were arrested and fired from an Allegheny County-run nursing home, accused of assaulting and verbally harassing a 94-year-old Alzheimer's patient.

County police said the investigation began in November, based on reports from co-workers at Kane Glen Hazelon Rivermont Drive in Pittsburgh's Glen Hazel neighborhood.

County Executive Dan Onorato: "If they are found guilty, we don't want to see them working anywhere in this field. We want to send a clear message and an example with these five individuals that this type of activity won't be tolerated."

  1. Arrested and fired should be just the beginning.

    These women need to be labeled abusers and let that label follow them the rest of their lives -- after a lengthy jail term.
