A California in-home nurse is accused of child abuse after camera footage appeared to show him shoving, hitting and then kicking things at a 6-year-old boy with special needs. Bertagna said that in the video, Felix “wasn’t giving any attention to the child” who needs constant care. He added that when the child became frustrated and threw things, the 54-year-old nurse got up and started “physically assaulting” him. Felix started working as the child’s nurse in August through a health-care company called Maxim Healthcare Services, Bertagna said. He said the mother called the health-care company and requested another nurse but was told it would take some time.
