On March 10, 2008, Alma Berlanga was found guilty of elderly abuse. Ms. Berlanga was the caregiver to Ofelia Escobar who is a bedridden 83 year old woman with Alzheimer's. The family had concerns about Ms. Berlanga's treatment to their mother and installed a hidden camera. The video tape showed Ms. Berlanga slapping and force-feeding Ms. Escobar.

The jury took five minutes to convict Ms. Berlanga and faces up to 10 years in prison.
