Breaking News: there are bad people in the world.

Someone that they most likely trusted.
Right now, I have 2 extremely vulnerable, elderly family members that trust people to take care of them.
If you do not understand the "Significance" of this, you are no MARINE that you constantly profess to be.
God help you.
to regulate nursing homes? Is HHS doing anything, anything at all. Don't want to interfere with their ability to make money as adequate staffing might do. But bring it to donnie's attention, surely he will take action.
You basically have to do what this fella did to have your employment called into question.
And, yes, you are correct that this sort of violence from the fellas happens every day of the week, many times over.

I'm unaware of any. I have a close family member who ran the human services department for the third largest county in the state and then had an appointed leadership position over long-term care for the state. The biggest challenge he faced was being hamstrung in being able to fire negligent and abusive long-term care workers. A sampling taken from many examples: a worker who routinely slept in a patient's bed and the patient's toiletries during his shifts. Numerous workers caught stealing from patients. Most egregious: staff at one facility who starved a patient to death. The poor woman weighed 80 pounds at death, due to their callous negligence. None fired immediately after these incidents. All due to work rules. Would you get fired from whatever your job was if you had killed someone due to negligence on the job? Would you have been fired if you had been stealing from your customers or employees?
There's a misconception out there that Americans are sue-happy. To the contrary, most never even consider suing, even when it's entirely justified, as in casses like these. I wish there were more lawsuits involving long-term care patients. First, because it's the right thing to do. Second, to bring to light the absurd work rules that protect abusive workers in this area.
who runs HHS done anything?

It explains crime by three bases: a likely offender, a suitable victim, and the absence of a capable guardian. All three boxes were checked in this case. You're essentially serving up victims to fellas like this. What was the killer's rap sheet? I'll bet I can guess. You can also be sure he'd been tormenting other old folks before this. This wasn't his first time deliberately hurting an invalid.
