28-stone care worker jailed for sitting on pensioners

[Northerner]

A 28-stone care worker who abused elderly vulnerable people by sitting on them was yesterday jailed for nine months.

Obese Fiona Salmon, 40, from Camborne, was supposed to be looking after the pensioners but subjected them to physical and mental torment.

She pinched, slapped and manhandled residents, sprayed deodorant in an elderly woman's face and scrubbed another's face so hard she made her nose bleed. Salmon dug her nails into her victims, punched them and even threw one 99-year-old on her bed.

Examples like this are why care assistants should be registered like nurses etc, so that they can be struck off if they inflict cruelty, neglect etc.

Absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible for this person to get another job in care Being a care worker should be a 'skilled' job i.e. people should possess the skills and compassion to be able to care for others, putting their charges above personal problems - it should not be paid as a minimum wage 'stuffing envelopes' job.
