A nursing facility in Seogwipo City last September.
A caregiver is taking care of an elderly person with dementia in his 80s who made a defecation mistake.
However, after a while, it is confirmed that he forcibly grabs the elderly person with dementia and throws them to the floor.
The children, who were informed that the accident was a light fall, checked the CCTV and burst into anger.
[Mr. Kim / Child of the elderly victim: My mother's hand was bruised when I looked at it for a moment. So, for a moment, I wanted to look at the CCTV, and when I saw it, I saw that I was three months away. Because a shocking situation is happening.]
When I went to the hospital for treatment, I was even more shocked.
This is because four ribs were broken, resulting in a 6-week diagnosis of anterior teeth, and bruises of unknown cause were found all over the body during the treatment process.
[Mr. Kim / Child of the victim of the elderly: I got bruises all over my body when I saw the situation even when I was undressing. A bruise or two is not a bruise. It's habitual. Habitual.]
The nursing facility has dismissed the caregiver and the person in charge at the time.
He also said that the investigation is still ongoing, so if a legal decision is made, we will take action accordingly.
[Mr. Kim / Elderly victim's child: I can't even sleep, I.
It's a sin that I'm not good at watching my mother's end like this.]
The police investigation into the case has now been completed, and it has been reported that the case has been forwarded to the prosecution on charges of elder abuse, etc., and further investigation is ongoing.
