Eleni Saunders received a suspended jail sentence for her part in the bullying Two care workers have been given suspended jail sentences for using a glove puppet to bully elderly women.
Helen Males, 34, and Eleni Saunders, 22, were both previously convicted of two charges under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 while working at The Old Rectory care home in Wenvoe, near Cardiff.
Males received a 52-week suspended jail term and Saunders 38 weeks.
Both sentences were suspended for two years.

“They were employed to care for them but they ridiculed them, frightened them and caused distress to them on repeated occasions.”
