a special report on the alarming levels of abuse within our Care Homes and how those responsible are rarely prosecuted ITV News research found that fewer than two percent of allegations made in England and Wales resulted in court action some families are so concerned they put secret cameras in their loved ones rooms to try and gather evidence that is exactly what the Son and Daughter of Anne King did when they suspected she was being harmed in her care home her abusers were stopped but they didn't face criminal charges and a warning that this report from Garrett Vincent has footage of Anne's awful treatment a member of staff at a care home in an elderly woman's room starts flicking a rag at her face don't do that she says it frightens me then he appears to offer a fist bump do it nicely she asks but he does it too hard you're hurting me she says the lady is taunted again and again the same staff member holds a bin full of rubbish over her head and then another switches the light in her room on and off the woman in the bed was and King a woman who spent her life caring for other people she was a qualified nurse herself for many years she specialized in teaching children how to use their prosthetic limbs she stopped working when she adopted two children of her own a daughter Claire and a son Richard we were looking to put her in somewhere that could be you know she could be looked after and you know professionally and and be in a safe environment in fact it turned out to be the complete opposite and suffered from dementia she died last summer a few months after her children had taken her out of the home where her days and nights had been spent in fear mum was coming out with disturbing things like she said um you know don't leave me on the aisle please please don't leave me take me with me you can I come home with you you know my Muslim ashes I'm so scared I'm so frightened what's the matter and she said sometimes she couldn't recall but then she would say about people come in and hurt me Richard was so concerned by what his mum was telling him he installed a secret camera on her bedside table as well as what you've already seen it recorded her rough treatment at the hands of her carers and Anne's cries of distress I broke I totally broke because obviously it's full sound it's full picture I could hear mum screaming you know and it broke me and obviously I called Richard and called the police the police say that Anne's case was referred to the crown prosecution service who advised that the thresholds for criminal charges of assault or abuse hadn't been met the Care Homes apologized and explained that what happened to Anne was the result of reprehensible Behavior by Rogue members of staff but the research that we've done lends weight to claims that not only is abuse behind the closed doors of the Care sector widespread but that very rarely is anything done about it v news asked each of the 43 police forces in England and Wales how many allegations of abuse or neglect in Care Homes were reported to them last year 16 of them got back to us and they told us that in total 1080 allegations have been made but only 16 criminal charges had been brought often to abuse an elderly person can be quite subtle it doesn't have to be something that's visible or clear but it could be quite subtle especially if the resident has dementia and they're not often aware of what's going on it could be something as simple as just trying to lift or maneuver somebody but causing a bruise or pushing them or forcefully trying to get them into a wheelchair and that's just not acceptable around one and a half million people work in Social care but at this care home in Sheffield where they recently fired a member of staff for inappropriate behavior it's a sector where finding really good candidates for jobs can be difficult unfortunately we're just not as well regarded as the NHS you know the staff aren't paid as well it's a really hard job I think it was given the status and the funding it it would attract people who saw it as a proper career who saw the value in it people really respect and admire nurses and doctors I don't think they respect and admire social care workers in the same way the care workers who shook Anne's bed and who left her on the floor confused and frightened no longer work for the company they were employed by here but the disturbing question remains how many more people are suffering like this in the dark corners and long hours of the Care sector that the outside world so very rarely sees again right Vincent ITV News
