Baltimore Woman Catches Abuse on Tape

A Baltimore woman catches a shocking attack on tape and it involves her helpless 90-year-old father. It's just one example of a camera keeping an eye on the ones you love while you're away. ABC2 Investigator Joce Sterman has more on this growing trend and how it helped this family's case.

In the digital age, it seems you can't go anywhere without being watched. Cameras are everywhere, even inside the four walls of the home. And the newest fad targets the growing number of seniors getting in-home care. So forget "Nanny Cams", now it's all about "Granny Cams". Elder abuse expert Dr. Dan Sheridan says, "I think as our technologies are improving and it's so easy and cost effective to put these monitoring devices in, I think we're going to continue to see more and more people doing that."
