Nurse Caught on Camera Beating Disabled 5-Year-Old — But Is Only Arrested After News Aired the Video
A Long Island nurse violently slapped his disabled 5-year-old patient multiple times in a vicious caught-on-camera attack — but the abusive caretaker wasn’t arrested until after a local news report aired.
Bruno Valenzuela, 31, was arrested at his home in Brentwood just after 9 p.m. on Thursday — only hours after News 12 Long Island broadcast the disturbing footage and questioned why an arrest hadn’t been made since Dec. 22, when the beating took place in the family’s Port Jefferson home.
The sick nurse can be first seen with his headphones on, ignoring the child’s cries before eventually checking on the kid — then getting visibly frustrated and unleashing a barrage of violent strikes onto the boy’s chest while yelling at him, according to the video obtained by The Post.
“It took news reports for the Suffolk police to go and make an arrest for my son,” Christopher Brower, the boy’s father, told The Post late Thursday.
Brower, an NYPD detective familiar with the processes of law enforcement, said he wanted to go public since an arrest hadn’t been made at the time, he said. (Read more from “Nurse Caught on Camera Beating Disabled 5-Year-Old — But Is Only Arrested After News Aired the Video” HERE)
