TEEN GIRL IN COMA TORTURED BY NURSE: CAUGHT ON CAMERA
Description
A mother in St Cloud, Florida, hires around the clock nursing care in her home to help care for her teenage daughter. The 18-year-old is developmentally disabled, non-verbal, quadriplegic with cerebral palsey, and minimal vision. To cover the 24 / 7 schedule, nurses work 12 hour shifts, 7am to 7 pm and 7pm to 7am in their St Cloud, Florida home.
Checking on her disabled daughter Saturday morning, the mother notices red scratches around her daughter's mouth and eyelid, the scratches were not present the previous evening and as a quadriplegic, it is impossible for her daughter to scratch herself in such a way, so she reviews surveillance camera footage from the previous night and calls police immediately.
The nurse during this time was Nia Ayers, a 24-year-old Licensed Practical Nurse who has cared for the girl on Friday night into Saturday morning for over a year. She has been licensed since 2021 and has not had a single disciplinary action or even a complaint in her nursing career.
