You have to love hidden video footage that bags scumbags. Family members of a 78-year-old woman who has dementia, used one to nab nursing home employees. The video shows employees hitting the woman, pulling at her sensitive ears, poking her eye and refusing to help her put on her shirt.

"The video depicts criminal activity directed at a senior victim in our county," Delaware County District Attorney Michael Green said, according to ABC News. "It's abusive. ... It's the humiliation which is most difficult to watch on the video. No senior resident of a facility should be subjected to that kind of behavior, particularly from a health care provider."

The morons bagged for this hideous crime — Ayesha Muhammad, 19 was arrested today and Samirah Traynham, 22 — were arrested and charged with various offenses.
