Quote:GLENVIEW, Ill. -- Two nursing home aides in a suburban Illinois neighborhood have been fired and charged after a Snapchat video showed them taunting a 91-year-old woman with dementia.

Margaret Collins' family is outraged, and taking legal action. The family's lawsuit seeks more than $1 million in damages and alleges the nursing home, despite that video, turned a blind eye.

In the video Collins appears to be in distress, arms flailing as she pushes away a hospital gown.

"She's waving her arms because of one reason. She doesn't have mobility to get away. That's the only option she has to protect herself," said Tom Collins, her son.

People who commit abusive acts on helpless being (this includes animals as well), deserve a special kind of ass kicking.

I don't give a fuck if they are young... They need to be taught if you do onto others, you probably should want it done onto you. If they are good people, they'll grow up to appreciate the lesson.
