A worker at a Syosset group home is accused of mistreating a disabled resident in her care.

Detectives say they arrested Wanda Shorts for an incident that occurred in April.

They say Shorts hit the victim several times and mistreated her during meal times by forcing her to eat contaminated food.

The worker is charged with endangerment.

Police ask anyone else who may have been a victim of Shorts to call Nassau Crime Stoppers.
