Minnie Graham’s granddaughters were mortified. Every time they visited Minnie, they noticed more and more bruises.

The girls asked the carers at Minnie’s care home how she had sustained those injuries.

The carers told them that Minnie kept on falling out of her wheelchair. But that didn’t add up to the granddaughters.

In private, Minnie told the girls that the care workers were hurting her.

The girls asked the carers about what their grandmother had told them. The carers assured them that the old woman was talking nonsense.

So the granddaughters hatched a plan.

They hid a camera in Minnie’s room. After a few days, they went to the nursing home to see if the camera had picked anything up. They were shocked at what they discovered.

At one point a carer named Brenna Tiller shouted, “Roll over, nanny,” to Minnie. She then pushed her harshly and pulled her up by her arm.

Minnie then screamed in pain, but Tiller kept on pulling.

Clearly, those kinds of actions are incredibly dangerous to perform on a 98-year-old woman.

She then let go of Minnie and let her fall back. Minnie cried out that Tiller was breaking her back.

Minnie then tried to escape from Tiller. But Tiller stopped her by slapping her multiple times.

And then it got even worse.

Tiller began mocking Minnie. She swore at her, called her ugly, imitated her and more.

After that, Tiller started spraying water on Minnie’s face.

Lastly, Tiller stuffed a towel, that she had just cleaned Minnie’s body with, in Minnie’s mouth.

Disgusted now, the grandaughters decided to keep on watching the footage. It would be difficult, but they needed to see if there was anything else.

Then another hospice worker, Lewis, came in and roughly pushed Minnie about. He then hit her and pinched her, which made Minnie cry out in pain.

The family reached the end of the footage and decided to bring it to law enforcement officials.

Soon, a grand jury indicted both of the hospice workers. They were charged with felonies.

But then the police failed to act. As the months went by, the abusive workers remained free and were not tried.

The police claimed that the criminals were hard to trace. Yet a news team managed to find Tiller with no issues whatsoever.

The news team interviewed Tiller, who claimed that Minnie was the one acting aggressively, despite what the footage showed.

And even worse, when the news team found Tiller, they saw that she was wearing a nursing home uniform. She was currently working as an elderly care worker for a different organization.

Lewis, the other abuser, was also listed as being employable at the time of the news report.

Luckily, the news report finally prompted the police to take action. The day after the team interviewed her, Tiller was arrested and jailed.

One month after the granddaughters caught the abuse, Minnie died.

She was in a terminal condition, but the grandaughters believe that the abuse she received hastened her decline.

This story is shocking. Sadly, it is all too common an occurrence. And when care home abuse happens, there is often a failure on the part of law enforcement. Hopefully, future reforms will make authorities focus on this issue instead of disrupting innocent people.
