HI, THANKS FOR JOINING US, A
HIDDEN CAMERA CONFIRMED WHAT A
TWIN CITIES WOMAN FEARED WAS
HAPPENING TO HER MOTHER AT A
HOME FOR SENIORS.
SHE WAS BEING ABUSED AT THE
GLEN HOPKINS HOME.
55-YEAR-OLD CECILIA CHEBII SOI
IS CHARGED WITH 2 COUNTS OF
ASSAULT AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS
WERE CAUGHT ON CAMERA.
WE SPOKE WITH THE POLICE, ANGELA
DAVIS HAS MORE.
Reporter: THE DAUGHTER OF THE
VICTIM NOTICED BRUISES ON HER
MOTHER, WHO LIVES IN A MEMORY
CARE UNIT.
NO ONE COULD EXPLAIN HOW SHE GOT
THEM, SHE SET UP A HIDDEN CAMERA
IN HER MOM'S ROOM.
WHAT WAS CAPTURED IN THE VIDEO
LED TO THE ARREST OF A NURSING
ASSISTANT.
IT WAS CECILIA CHEBII SOI'S
JOB TO TAKE CARE OF THE
RESIDENTS THAT GLEN HOPKINS.
POLICE SAY VIDEOS FROM A HIDDEN
CAMERA SHOWLED ABUSE.
AN ASSAULT ON THE VICTIM,
OBVIOUSLY, THERE WAS STRIKING
AND HAIR PULLING.
SERGEANT MIKE HAS SEEN THE
VIDEO.
WE SEE A LOT OF STUFF IN OUR
JOB, AND WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE
THAT ARE DEFENSELESS, IT IS HARD
TO WATCH.
KIND OF SAD.
PAPERS DESCRIBE 3 SEPARATE
ATTACKS ON CAMERA.
IN ONE, SHE PULLED THE WOMAN UP
FROM THE FLOOR BY HER HAIR.
ANOTHER SHOWS HER STRIKING THE
VICTIM WITH HER HAND AND A HAIR
BRUSH.
THE THIRD ALLEGEDLY SHOWS
CECILIA CHEBII SOI HITING THE
WOMAN IN THE HEAD SEVERAL TIMES
AND THEN ELBOWING HER IN THE
HEAD.
I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE
GOOD EVIDENCE TO SHOW,
POTENTIALLY TO A JURY OR JUDGE,
TO SHOW WHAT HAPPENED AND THERE
IS REALLY NO DISPUTING WHAT THE
VIDEO SHOWS.
THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE GLEN
HOPKINS SENT A LETTER TO ALL
RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES SAYING
SHE FIRED SOI AND INTERVIEWED
ALL THE RESIDENTS IN THE AREA
AND THEY HAVE BEGUN AN INTERNAL
REVIEW OF HIRING, TRAINING AND
SUPERVOYEURS PRACTICES-- SUPER
VISERY PRACTICES.
THE WORLD OF CAMERAS
EVERYWHERE, IT IS UNFORTUNATE
YOU HAVE TO WORRY, BUT YOU
SHOULD HAVE THE HIGHEST
INTEGRITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING
AND TAKE CARE OF PATIENTS.
A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE HOME
SAID THERE IS NO EVIDENCE
ANYBODY ELSE WAS HURT.
SOI DENIED HITTING THE VICTIM OR
PULLING HER HAIR AND IS CHARGE
