The video was posted by Alexxis McNeil, a certified nursing assistant at the nursing home, who told 水果派AV that she recorded the video on Sunday night in the 85 Thornton Ave. facility's north wing.

McNeil said she shared the video publicly on Facebook because she has witnessed similar incidents at the nursing home, including one with the same female staff member, and "nothing is ever done."

The staff member in the video is a licensed practical nurse, McNeil said. The text of her post criticizes the 92-bed nursing home for employing "nurses who can't function properly."

In a statement emailed to 水果派AV, Auburn Rehabilitation and Nursing Center Administrator Judson MacCaull said the center "initiated an investigation immediately" upon seeing the video.

"We thank you for your concern," he said, "and assure you we are taking every step to ensure the safety of our residents and staff."

MacCaull did not immediately respond to follow-up questions emailed to him by 水果派AV.聽

"The (department) has made it a top priority to hold nursing homes accountable for the quality of care they provide," he said.

Hammond declined further comment due to the investigation being open. But he encouraged nursing home residents and their families to share complaints or concerns with the department's Centralized Complaint Intake Unit at or 1-888-201-4563. Complaints are kept confidential, and the outcomes of reviews are shared with complainants. 

According to state Department of Health , the nursing home was the subject of 62 complaints between Feb. 1, 2019, and Jan. 31 of this year. It had 75 complaints and 10.9 citations per 100 occupied beds, compared to the state averages of 49.9 and 2.6, respectively. The nursing home was fined $17,000 last July for allowing two staff unvaccinated against COVID-19 to work there.

The 92-bed nursing home at 85 Thornton Ave. is also continuing its own investigation into the video, Administrator Judson MacCaull told 水果派AV on Wednesday. He declined comment on the current employment status of the nurse depicted in it. He also said the certified nursing assistant who recorded and posted the video on Facebook, Alexxis McNeil, is still employed by the nursing home.

"Once the investigation is complete and we have an opportunity to carefully consider the findings, we will make personnel decisions in accordance with the law and consistent with our commitment to the health and safety of our residents and staff," MacCaull said. "We appreciate your understanding of the need for a fair and complete review and to avoid premature speculation or rushes to judgment."

McNeil, however, told 水果派AV she was informed by the nursing home's human resources department that sharing the video publicly violated HIPAA, the federal law restricting the release of medical information. Upon being told she would be fired as a result, McNeil instead quit, she said. To the best of her knowledge, she is no longer an employee of the nursing home.

McNeil's video, which she posted Tuesday morning, has been viewed more than 450,000 times and shared more than 5,700.

Malone hopes to transfer Cristian to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, site of the first unit in the U.S. to the cause of his condition: congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

A defect that in one in 2,500 births, it begins when the diaphragm doesn't form completely. In Cristian's case, that led his stomach, intestines and spleen, and part of his liver, to ascend into his chest. His heart was displaced to the right, and his left lung only had enough room to develop to half its size. He's now had nine surgeries to address these complications, most recently a tracheostomy.

Malone found the hospital after Cristian's defect was diagnosed at 24 weeks in the womb. The team of specialists gave him an 85% chance of survival, compared to a closer hospital that gave him 50%. So she and Cristian's father,聽Damion Martinez, went to St. Petersburg to bring their son into the world. They were there 264 days, said Malone, who stayed in a Ronald McDonald House at the hospital.

"It's hard, but as a mom, you have to deal with it and pray for the best," she said. "I have to be strong for him because I'm his advocate, his voice. I have to make sure he gets the best care possible."

During those 264 days, the hospital's team got to know "literally the inside and out of Cristian," Malone said. That's why she wants to take him back there. But to do that, she has to raise money to sign up for COBRA, the federal program to continue health insurance after job loss, as she had to resign from her position as a nurse at The Commons on St. Anthony in Auburn March 8. She had been out of work since Feb. 1, when she brought Cristian to Strong. She and Martinez considered adding the infant to his workplace insurance, but that would have cost even more money than COBRA, she said.聽

Luckily, Malone said, she made more connections at Johns Hopkins than just doctors. She also became "the best of friends" with another mother there, Allyson Birdsong. Together, they're part of what Malone called "the CDH family," which has been a source of support during Cristian's struggle. Birdsong even started a GoFundMe to help Malone pay for COBRA so she can transfer her son.

The campaign has a goal of $15,000, and has raised $10,111 from 93 donors as of Monday evening. Malone doesn't know how long Cristian will be in the hospital, but is grateful for every dollar.

"I can't thank everybody enough for helping give my son the best chance of turning around from all of this and fighting for his life," she said. "I'm more appreciative than I can even begin to say."

Hewitt was charged with first-degree aggravated sexual abuse, a class B felony, and use of a child in a sexual performance, a class C felony. Hewitt was arraigned and sent to Cayuga County Jail on $40,000 cash bail or $80,000 bond. On Wednesday afternoon, he was released from custody after posting the bond. State police were assisted by the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office in the investigation.

Wells said in a statement Wednesday that Hewitt was immediately terminated from his position as campus safety sergeant after the college was notified of the arrest. The college added that the incidents under investigation did not take place on campus, nor did they involve any Wells students. The college also said it is fully cooperating with the investigation.聽

Counseling and support services are being made available to Wells staff, faculty and students, the college said.

"We consider the safety of our community to be of the (utmost) importance," it said in its statement. "We want to express our heartfelt sympathy and concern for the victim and their family."

The college declined comment to 水果派AV when asked how long Hewitt had been an employee there.

According to 水果派AV's archives, Hewitt聽was a retired corrections officer and聽coached Moravia High School girls softball in the late 2010s.聽

State police are asking anyone who had contact with Hewitt to call investigators at (315) 255-2767.
