Lesley Anthony – Registered Nurse/Caregiver and Elder Abuse Whistleblower

In 2004, Lesley Anthony exposed the elder abuse case of 87-year-old Norma Stenson on national TV. The lack of attention paid to her client’s critical situation led Lesley to plant a hidden camera in Norma’s room. Only after incriminating footage was captured – including verbal threats, intimidation, shaking, physical assault and theft – did police investigate and lay charges.

Hosted by Libby Znaimer of Zoomer magazine and The Zoomer Report on The New Classical 96.3 FM and The New AM 740
