Two carers from Keighley have admitted to threatening to call the police if an elderly dementia sufferer did not drink a cup of tea they held above her head.
Zaria Bi and Farzana Bibi – both from Keighley – were the main carers for the woman, who received five visits a day at her home in Sutton, Skipton.
Bi, 48, of Victoria Road, and Bibi, 41, of Goulbourne Street, had no formal qualifications and had just shadowed other carers before starting work.
Bi and Bibi had been caring for the woman for 18 months until her daughter became suspicious in October last year and installed a covert CCTV camera in her bedroom.
They were filmed shaking fists at the woman and striking her hands and arms.
Bi admitted common assault and Bibi assault by beating. A sentencing hearing will take place on 24 May.
