The vulnerable OAP, who suffered from severe dementia, was also yanked up by her nose and verbally abused.
On one occasion, Liz, who has sadly since passed away, was scratched by a dog – causing deep cuts on her leg – that Dady had brought to her home.
Dady was finally stopped when Liz’s daughter Corrina Cunningham grew concerned over bruising and blisters that appeared on her mum and installed CCTV.
She has now been caged for six months after admitting ill-treatment or neglect of a person who lacks capacity.

Norwich Crown Court heard how during the summer of 2019, Liz, who also has limited mobility, began suffering minor injuries.
After viewing the CCTV, her family discovered Dady had been physically abusing Liz and was also glued to her phone when she was meant to be caring for the pensioner.

“I was mortified when I found out this had been happening. I felt guilty for not being able to protect her when she needed it and that this had happened under our own roof.
“We trusted Jenny and thought she genuinely cared for mum but she betrayed this trust in the worst possible way.

“She abused this trust, treating Liz with little care; handling her roughly by pushing and pulling her. On one occasion after a shower, Liz was left for almost 30 minutes in her wheelchair with wet hair and just a towel covering her lap.
“Many incidents were captured on CCTV which makes for very unpleasant viewing.
“No one would want their loved ones treated in this way, particularly those who are vulnerable and have limited capacity, which is why it’s important we seek justice in these cases for the victims and their families.”
