BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The manager of a Baton Rouge group home is facing charges after officials say she knowingly did not report physical abuse of a client with disabilities.
According to Attorney General Liz Murrill’s office, the Medicaid Fraud Unit arrested Karen Netter, 56, of Baton Rouge, on one count of abuse and neglect of adults. The charge is a misdemeanor.
Netter is the home manager at the Harmony Center in Baton Rouge.
In July of 2025, one of the group home’s caregivers, identified as Megan Ambeau, 34, was arrested for allegedly hitting a woman with intellectual disabilities in the face, fracturing her nose, and sending her to the hospital in 2023.
According to the affidavit, Netter said Ambeau called her after the incident, telling her she thought she had broken the client’s nose.
Netter was reportedly fired by A.B. Horn, the company that operates Harmony Center, for not reporting the incident, notifying the social worker, or following proper protocol.
