Two Kenyans have been arrested and arraigned in court for reportedly assaulting a disabled man in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
The two; Daniel Maina, 41, of Tyngsboro, and Jennifer Ng’ang’a, 60, of Lowell, are accused of striking a cognitively disabled, non-verbal adult.
Appearing before Judge Daniel Crane of Lowell District Court on Wednesday, the two were charged with assault, abuse, and battery on a disabled person and were released on personal recognizance.
Two are former employees of the group home in North Chelmsford.
While releasing the two accused persons, the judge has barred them from contacting the victim, providing care to elderly or disabled persons, and ordered them to surrender any licenses for providing care.
Investigations by Chelmsford police revealed a series of abuse by the two Kenyans on a 50-year-old, non-verbal resident of the group home, located on Harding Street.
"The evidence gathered during the investigation showed a clear pattern of physical abuse against a victim who could not defend himself or report his abuse at the hands of the very people charged with his care and well-being," Police Chief James Spinney said in a statement.
Police also say the abuse was captured on camera.
The pre-trial hearing for the case is set for March 26th, 2019.

Perhaps no one wants to believe you coz 1. You are such a tribalist. 2. Your words divides us rather than bring us closer as kenyans. 3. You do not provide any viable solutions to any problems but just "bitch" around like you suffer from actual bitchitis.
Kikuyus (as Ringleaders of Tribalism, Greed, and Hate) have ISOLATED themselves from other Tribes in Kenya.
And by that "kikuyus'" comment =You sound like yuuugeee BBS yourself **ahem***
You sound like one bitter bitch,and by that i mean bitter with kikuyus, i have seen just recently kenyans from diffrent tribes accused for the same.But since you are a bitter bitch all you see is Kamau and Wanjiku.Btw hating someone is like taking poison yourself and expect them to die
Anyways!
You will never believe what is happening in Nyanza Region!
Nyanza Region has no schools! NO SCHOOLSS!!
Am SHOOOOKKK!
The children in NYANZA Count-Siaya-- are suffering.
They are crying day in day out.They need Education and food but no-one cares.
I can't believe Raila Odinga and Barack Obama have refused to help children of Nyanza Region get formal Education!We all know they have the money.
Mitchell Obama's book was a best-seller.So Barack Obama cannot say he doesn't have money.
Raila odinga got a job with the African Union so he has money too and access to Educational funds.
This is so disgraceful.We need to start a "Save a Nyanza Child" movement and Go-fund me to build primary schools in Nyanza Region.
Am SHOOKKK!Shame on Raila Odinga. Shame on Barack Obama.
Again, you are off script and truly suffering from a disorganized thought process. How do your comment re: Nyanza Region come in? Any relationship to this particular article? Put yourself together lady.
Would you be willing to accept contribution from the people you refer to as bitxhes? Wait, are you about to start a scamming business?
Vicky,
You sound very uneducated and completely ignorant..what does Michelle* Obama's book have to do with schools in Nyanza? Obama is an American and he will choose to assist Nyanza if he wants to. He is nit obligated to assist. The same with Raila. The people you should be complaining to are your Governors, senators and MCAs who have clearly failed Nyanza as whole.
Is there other jobs you could do if caring for people is so stressful? Why abuse people when most this people working there hawana makaratasi or formal education?
So sad indeed. When you are you offer yourself to provide care and show compassion to someone who is disabled it's imperative to do it to your utmost ability. Go above and beyond, pokea baraka zako. But this trend is worrying, pole sana to the victim and their families. Shame on these clueless, misbehaving care providers.
Cameras are all over even if you do not see them. If you abuse a disabled or elderly person they are recording. Why abuse a disabled person you do know whether one day you will end up being disabled. Uzee is a must. Whatever you do to other it will be done to you.
We need to get facts right in this case. Schizoid patients can be physically abusive. Professional self defense may appear like a street fights in psych units. Kenyans who work in such settings lack vigor, language and proper words to narrate the incidences. They end up being the abused, exploited and end up suffering chronic stresses. So let's not judge these two workers until we see the clip.
@Ben, I do concur. Lack of vigor, assertive language and fitting words to narrate "what is" and "what happened" do render one's arguments invalid and places one on their defense. Most internationals I have met come across in their language as not very transparent and defensive. They focus on emotive parts of issues rather than logical aspects of the events. Coupled with our "beautiful" accents our line of thought and expression often creates suspicion. It is an open secret that for many we are unscrupulous and "unprincipled foreigners" Things are not always what they seem to be, dynamics are quite different particularly when issues of status come into play.
No matter the time, no matter the situation, no one needs to watch over what you do. Personal integrity should guide what you say, what you do, how you do it. It should not matter whether it is in darkness or broad daylight. Handal yourself with dignity as a human being, carry yourself with integrity, think before you act. Those smart phones you carry, are collecting everything you do, you say, etc. If need be, you are carrying your own evidence that will convict you. Work, save, invest in some business, become your boss, enjoy the challenges, enjoy life. God bless.
Maskini! Hawa Kikuyu kwanini wana abuse the disabled. Kama wamechoka na kazi ya care giving si watafute kazi zingine. There are so many jobs to do. Hii upuzi ya working in group homes people need to stop. Care giving and nursing are qualities that only some specific people are born with. It is not for every body. Every person is gifted in different ways. Some people are destined to be actors, some to be mathematicians, doctors, artists, musicians, teachers, policemen, clerks, farmers, housewives, scientists, beauticians, drivers, watchmen, chefs, office workers, factory workers etc. Who told you Kenyans that you must work as care givers. Wachangeni ujinga na mjiheshimu saa zingine. Look for jobs elsewhere. If you are not gifted with compassion and caregiving skills, get your big black fat ass out of nursing homes.
Its that Bitter Bitch syndrome.
Bitter Bitch Syndrome: When a bitch (sorry for the foul language but to me its a term of endearment) is bitter about her life and the things that have happened to her and decides to take it out on the world.
Kikuyu's suffer from this syndrome.I keep telling people this but no-one wants to believe me.
These people are Bitter bitches.Both the men and the women.
Bitter bitches.
