THE family of an elderly lady who believe she was the victim of abuse at a Barnsley care home say they want ‘justice’ after carers alleged to have taken part walked free - despite man who shared the images online being jailed this week.
In June last year, images were circulated online that appeared to show abuse sustained by residents at Cherry Trees Care Home, Lundwood.
After an investigation, seven carers from the home were arrested but charges were dropped on each due to a lack of evidence.
However, the man who posted the images online - 27-year-old Jamie Phillips of Newington Avenue, Royston - was jailed after appearing at Sheffield Crown Court on Monday.
