(From Aberdeen Press & Journal (UK))
An Aberdeen woman has attacked a sheriff's decision to let a care worker off with community service after he had made her mother's life a misery.
Mairi Bell feels her mother has "lost her spark" after being abused by 43-year-old Ken Bowie.
Bowie was found guilty last month of pushing elderly residents, pulling an old lady's hair, and swearing aggressively at confused dementia patients.
The incidents happened at the Barleystone Nursing Home, in Falkirk, between March 7, 2005 - when Bowie joined the staff - and May 31 the same year when he was sacked, after alarmed co-workers alerted the matron.
