A carer 'recklessly' drove with a woman who had the mental age of four on her knee before drawing whiskers and offering her dog biscuits, a court heard.
Debra Ralph, 54, of Bolton, was looking after the woman at Agricola House in Tottington, Bury, which offers one-to-one care for adults with severe brain injuries, reports the Manchester Evening News. The two incidents happened on July 10 last year during one shift.
Ralph was struck off and arrested within days after what the judge, Tina Landale, described as "wilful abuse". "It's hard to think of a more vulnerable victim than a person in her position," the judge said.
