'He said that he did the best that he could for his mom. I beg to differ,' said Sheriff Javier Salazar of the horrifying case.
"By the looks of it, Ms. Huerta had been bedridden for some time and had been neglected to the point where some of her injuries are...too graphic to even try to describe to you," said Sheriff Salazar.
Her son had been paid"upwards of 40-50 hours a week" to be her caretaker but reportedly spent that time"out on the road as a trucker." "I can't even imagine the pain and torture that this elderly lady went through and when you factor in that it was at the hands of her son, it makes it that much more heartbreaking," he said.
Moreover, in nearly 60 percent of elder abuse cases, the perpetrator is someone within the victim's family and is often a spouse or adult child.
