“This was torture. There’s really no other word for it,' Attorney General Raúl Torrez said.
An affidavit filed by the Attorney General’s Office details the abuse that resulted in the charges filed Wednesday against Angelita Rene Chacon, 52, and Patricia Hurtado, 42, both of Rio Rancho. They face counts of abuse or neglect of a resident resulting in death, false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.
Records show the company last visited the home on Jan. 25, one month before the victim was found at the port of entry in El Paso. Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and top health officials had warned that any caregivers who mistreat and abuse developmentally disabled or otherwise vulnerable people would be held accountable.
The woman who died “could easily have been our loved one,” Bujanda said. “You expect, you demand that your loved one is taken care of in such a way that ... the only thing you’ll ever worry about is making to time to go and see them.”Torrez urged the governor and lawmakers to overhaul protocols at the state Department of Health. His suggestions included increased staff and training, mandatory inspections every 90 days and new civil and criminal penalties for companies and providers.
