Care worker is caught beating a girl with cerebral palsy in Ukraine

A care worker is facing jail after shocking video showed her beating a child with cerebral palsy.

Larissa Sandevi secretly filmed the care worker hitting her 13-year-old daughter 15 times after becoming suspicious when she found cuts and bruises on the teenager’s body.

Setting up a hidden camera at her home in the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, she was horrified to discover the care worker, who has not been named, slapping her daughter Valeria around the face and pushing her onto the floor.

Distraught mum Larissa said: ‘She was doing very well at first, but then I began to notice abrasions on Valeria’s body.

‘When I asked the care worker about it she gave me what seemed like reasonable explanations.

‘But then Valeria’s conditions deteriorated and she started wetting the bed at nights so I decided to film what was going on.

‘I saw at once where my daughter was getting her bruises, abrasions, head aches, crooked teeth and why she was wetting the bed.

‘She hit my child 15 times within four hours.’

At first the care worker denied hitting the girl but later admitted she had, adding that although she knew it was wrong she couldn’t stop herself.

After contacting the police Larissa posted the video onto social media where it has now been viewed over 53,000 times.

One viewer called Gene wrote: ‘F**k! It is hard to even imagine what I would have done if I was in the parents shoes.’

Someone calling herself Oksana commented: ‘It’s a good thing they had CCTV cam in there, otherwise she would have abused her for years.’
