Mindy Mench never knew what Snapchat was until a nursing home employee shared pictures and video of her grandmother on the toilet.

In Massachusetts, two nurse’s aides are facing charges after posting a patient’s picture and captioning it “Chucky’s Bride.”
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said every case is a form of abuse of the elderly and he has sent a letter to the Department of Justice demanding a nationwide investigation.
“It’s just taking advantage of people in a way. That’s inhumane,” Grassley said.
Grassley also asked Medicare and Medicaid to see if anything could be done in nursing home inspections.
