Two nursing home staff members from Florida were arrested after allegedly abusing an elderly man who resided at the home. According to FOX, the abuse included whipping the man with a lanyard and pulling him to the ground, officials say. 

Both women, 23-year-old Rosa Edwards, and 19-year-old Aneisha Xitavia Hall were apprehended and

“charged with two counts of battery on a person older than 65.” 

On March 14, officials learned about the encounter, which took place at the Inspired Living at Ivy Ridge Assisted Living Facility in St. Petersburg. FOX reported that the woman assaulted two different people who lived at the home. Once officials found out about the incident, authorities began an investigation and learned it happened on Sunday and was reported by the executive director of the facility after watching the encounter play out on security footage. 

Reports say the two women got into an altercation with the older man who pushed an elderly woman in her wheelchair as they proceeded down the hall. The 23-year-old woman then went on to hit the man with a lanyard and chuckle. Officials added that both women grasped the man and tugged him to the floor as he clasped onto the wheelchair, which in turn caused the wheelchair to fall on its side as the elderly woman sat it in. The two women then fled the scene after the incident. 

Although Edwards and Hall reported the encounter to a co-worker, they failed to mention their involvement. When officials later spoke to Edwards, she confessed to using excessive power and later added that they both should’ve handled the situation in a different manner. Luckily, the senior residents were not injured in the incident and both women were suspended.

A young boy, who is merely 8 years old, has been apprehended in Florida after reportedly slashing a foster child’s throat and then threatening to

“kill everyone,”

officials say. The incident occurred close to 4:25 p.m. at a home in Clermont. The 8-year-old boy attacked and choked a boy, 13, who’s a foster child at the home, says an incident report attained by the New York Post. 

After the 13-year-old was choked for 10 seconds, he began to complain about not being able to breathe. He then kicked the 8-year-old boy, which forced him to let him loose. When the teen boy attempted to approach the young boy to talk to him later on, the boy reportedly snatched a butter knife from the kitchen and cut the teen’s throat. Luckily, a neighbor who witnessed the attack was able to grab the knife from the 8-year-old and deliver it to a woman who lived at the home. 

The young boy then tried to look for another weapon, saying that he was going to

“kill everyone.”

He went on to take a stick and attempted to hit the teen with it; however, other children who saw the attempted attack managed to stop him. When officials arrived at the scene, the 8-year-old was allegedly

“crying”

begging them not to arrest him. The boy kicked an officer in the stomach and resisted when officials tried to put him in the patrol vehicle. The boy was later transported to the Lake County Detention Center.

Luckily, the teen foster kid wasn’t brutally injured and was responsive while being interviewed by officials. 

The 8-year-old has been charged with

“aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, battery by strangulation, battery on a law enforcement officer, and resisting a law enforcement officer,”

reports The Post.
