Care worker spared jail for pushing 92-year-old dementia patient

A woman who admitted pushing a 92-year-old woman with dementia by the forehead back into her chair at a nursing home has escaped a conviction for assault.

Edyta Kropidlowska had said she had used force but only to stop the woman from falling forward. Her solicitor told the court that CCTV footage of the incident “does not look fantastic”.
