Two parents narrated the ordeal of their disabled son saying that they watched in horror as a secret camera they installed in their disabled son’s bedroom caught a care worker physically assaulting him.

Paul and Julie Rowlands became suspicious because whenever they visited him at the care home, 19-year-old Zak complained that he usually feels bad when they leave him.

So the couple placed a hidden camera in his room, and alas they discovered Zak was being abused by the care worker, a Cameroonian called Stanley Nkenka.

Footage from the hidden camera exposed Stanley Nkenka, a care worker hitting Zak on the head, calling him a stupid boy and leaving him alone in the dark in tears. He was also seen brushing the teenager in the face with a dressing gown and later warning as he stood over him, “Right, don’t come out. If you do, I will hit your head.”

Nkenka then hits Zak’s head again before ending with a veiled threat, pointing at him, “ a Cross mark…” At the end of the heartbreaking clip, autistic Zak is heard crying into his pillow in the dark bedroom.

His parents reported to the right authorities and Nkenka was convicted and jailed for 6 months.

Zak parents are now launching a campaign for cameras to be installed in all care home bedrooms to stop further abuse.
