Veteran Abused by Caretaker at State Facility
Description
A Westchester County woman says her Alzheimer’s-stricken Marine veteran husband was brutally assaulted by his caretaker at a New York veterans home — evidence captured on a hidden camera shows the attendant wielding a broom to strike him. The attendant, Matthew Cox, now faces felony charges, though he remains on the VA payroll despite being fired by the state. The wife alleges multiple victims and systemic failure, pointing to the chilling silence of staff during the attack. The VA says removal proceedings will begin, but her husband’s transfer to a federal facility is blocked by Cox’s ongoing employment. He’s set to return to court in July as the family fights for justice and safety.
