FREEPORT, N.Y. — A nursing home worker let his ailing mother lie on the floor of their home for two days, stepping over her when he had to and not calling 911 until she was malnourished and dehydrated, police said Friday.
When he finally called 911, the 64-year-old woman was soiled with her feces and urine, according to police in Long Island’s Nassau County. She suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest on the way to a hospital; she was in critical condition and on life support Friday.
The son, Lacy Reid, 45, of Freeport, is a porter at a nursing home. He was released after being arraigned Friday on a charge of first-degree reckless endangerment.
