Grandmother, 77, assaulted over volume of Pittsburgh Steelers broadcast.

Grandmother, 77, assaulted over volume of Steelers broadcast.
Daughter and granddaughter charged


YOUNGWOOD, Pa. —
Police say a family dispute over the volume of Sunday's Steelers game broadcast inside a Youngwood, Westmoreland County, home led to a two-day-long assault on a 77-year-old grandmother for which her daughter and granddaughter are jailed and facing charges.

The alleged victim's 40-year-old daughter, Delores Marie Amorino, and 17-year-old granddaughter, Sarah Amorino, are charged with aggravated and simple, criminal conspiracy, terroristic threats, false imprisonment, and harrassment against 77-year-old grandmother Delores Ruth Amorino, who shares the home with them.

The grandmother has difficulty hearing. When the daughter and granddaughter turned down the TV volume of the Steelers broadcast, the grandmother went to listen to the game on the radio in her locked bedroom. That's when the daughter and granddaughter allegedly broke into the bedroom, with the granddaughter hitting her grandmother with the metal broom handle on the face, back of her head and chest. The daughter allegedly twisted her arm and stomped on her foot. "They took a scarf, tied it around her neck, dragged her around the house. They shaved her head," said Trooper Stephen Limani, of the Pennsylvania state police.

Sarah Amorino and Delores Marie Amorino are being held in Westmoreland County Jail. Bail is set at $200,000 for each. They'll face a judge Sept. 1 for a preliminary hearing.

How does one even do such cruelty to their own mother/grandmother much less a fellow human being? FM123 Sep 2018 #1
