NEW: New York nurse caught on camera beating a crying, disabled 5-year-old boy, was not arrested until the footage was shared on local media.
31-year-old Bruno Valenzuela was arrested, but only after the footage was aired on News 12 Long Island.
"It took news reports for the Suffolk police to go and make an arrest for my son," the boy's father, Christopher Brower, said.
Brower, an NYPD detective, says he was told by investigators that they needed a signature from a doctor saying the chest slams were "not medically necessary."
"I’m a detective. I’ve made over 500 arrests in my lifetime. I’ve never heard that once in my life, you have the whole thing on tape and you’re telling me you need a doctor to tell you that beating and choking my son isn’t medically necessary?" he said.
Brower also said the Special Victims Unit detective refused to speed up the process because he was going on vacation soon.
"It was like they couldn’t be bothered. I’m embarrassed to say we’re in the same line of work," he said.
Absolutely infuriating.
