Their patient – just off camera – had just suffered a stroke, but three employees of an assisted living facility made a video of themselves cussing, joking that she’s about to die. Now they’re facing possible prison time.
Police say they ignored a critically ill stroke patient who was supposed to be under their care and allegedly took a Snapchat video of that patient mocking her condition with the caption: "The End."
She has since died.

Jefferson Police Detective Jay Parker said officers were summoned on Thursday, June 14, by the executive director of the Bentley Assisted Living at Northminster, in Jefferson. The director, Cynthia Archer, said that one of her employees had reported the Snapchat video to her, and that it had apparently been recorded the night before between 7 and 8 p.m.
The manager said that when she watched the Snapchat video herself, she could identify the three suspects -- Mya Moss, Jorden Bruce and Lizeth Ramirez -- as they sat in the patient's room.
At the time the Snapchat video was taking place, the victim had just had a stroke, according to police. The three employees had been instructed by supervisors to monitor her condition while awaiting a hospice nurse.
In the Snapchat video, Ramirez and Bruce can be seen sitting in chairs laughing, screaming obscenities and using a vape cigarette while Moss was shooting the video.
"They were obviously more interested in playing on the phone and making the video and cutting up and making a joke of the situation," Parker said. "My understanding is that the hospice nurse had been contacted, and these employees were supposed to be watching the female, and obviously that wasn't happening."
All three of the workers have been charged with exploitation and intimidation of disabled adults, which is a felony under Georgia law that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $50,000.
