The graphic video captured how nurses at St. Joseph’s at Fleming fought with Hellen MacDonald, 85, who suffers from dementia. Nurses were shown shoving a feces-stained rag in her face and blowing their noses on her sheets, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reported.

A caretaker overseeing a patient who died due to a serious bedsore that turned into deadly bacteria, was just in Sacramento Superior Court to face charges of involuntary manslaughter concerning a nursing home resident.

Silvia Cata, 52, faces felony charges connected to the June 2012 death of 88-year-old Georgia Holzmeister, The Sacramento Bee said. Holzmeister suffered from dementia and lived at the facility Carta worked at for more than five years. While under Cata’s care, Holzmeister developed a Stage IV bedsore and died five days later without regaining consciousness, The Bee said. The attorney general contends that Holzmeister’s bedsore was able to develop because she was bedridden and neglected. By the time her family was informed of her declining condition, the deep bedsore on her buttocks had set off a severe bacterial infection that led to her death, the state contends, according to The Bee.

Lawyers representing about 350 clients who allege they were molested by priests in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, questioned Cardinal Timothy Dolan yesterday. Dolan was once an archbishop in that city.

“We want him to answer exactly what he did with abusive priests, why he was paying them off and why he said he couldn’t provide decent restitution for survivors while moving tens of millions of dollars into secretive accounts,” said Peter Isley, who claims a Milwaukee priest sexually abused him in the late 1970s. Isley is also the Midwest director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests. He said the sealed lawsuits probably date as far back as the 1970s, wrote The New York Daily News.
