Stop abusing our elderly in care homes

Time now for an absolutely shocking story. Over the course of three years, frail 85-year-old Freda Jobson was the victim of mental and physical torment - at the hands of those who should've been caring for her.

After dropping to four stone, suffering agonising bedsores and being subjected to mental abuse Freda's family installed a spy camera in her room - and witnessed first hand the severity of her ill treatment.

Now Freda's daughter Maddy Jobson and granddaughter Hayley Southern have set up an online petition calling for all care homes to have CCTV installed. They join us today to tell us more.
