...like this if she took care of you when you needed her the most:
Woman left in ‘deplorable condition’ by son paid to care for her
A 74-year-old bedridden woman who was found dead last weekend was “basically tortured and neglected to death” by her adult son, according to a Texas sheriff.
The death of Maria Huerta led to charges against 50-year-old Juan Santos Huerta, who was being paid by the state to care for her, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said in a news briefing Wednesday. Instead of caring for his mother, Huerta was working as a long-haul truck driver, Salazar said.
“This case is bar none the worst case of neglect of an elderly person I’ve ever seen,” Salazar said.
