The family had the aide for their disabled teenage son for eight years, but said they recently noticed abusive treatment on their home security footage.
A Fountain Valley family is speaking out, accusing their son's longtime in-home aide of abusing the 15-year-old boy. Michelle Simmons' son Luke was born with half a heart. "He's nonverbal. He literally can't speak," she said. "He can't defend himself. He can't stop anything that's going on. He can't tell me what's going on. And that's the unfortunate part.

Now they're rethinking that.
