REDONDO BEACH, Calif. -- A Southern California mom was shocked by the scene that unfolded live on her family's nanny cam app.
CBS Los Angeles reports Dyanna Ko looked at her phone to check in on Landon, her 2-year-old son with special needs. What she saw shook her to her core. The nurse who was supposed to be caring for Landon was beating him.
Surveillance video captured the incident in its entirety.
"I told the other moms," Ko said. "I said I think I see my special needs baby being abused. I think I'm going to pass out."
Landon's condition is fragile. He suffers from Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome, a rare genetic condition that can cause an array of physical and intellectual disabilities. He eats through a feeding tube, is non-verbal and requires 24-hour care.
At one point in the video, the nurse rolls up a magazine and uses it to strike the child.
